Question 1:

Which orientation of applied force results in the maximum amount of work done?

A) Parallel
B) Perpendicular
C) At 45°
D) Equal

Topic: Work and Force Orientation in Physics

Correct Answer: A) Parallel

Short Hint:

The work done is best understood as force times displacement, along with the cosine of the angle between them.
This is represented as Work = Fcosθ × d.
The maximum work is accomplished when the angle θ is either zero or 180 degrees, which corresponds to the force being parallel to the displacement.
Therefore, the correct response is A, "Parallel".

Question 2:

A person lifts a 10N object and walks 5m horizontally and 10m upwards. What is the total work done by the person?

A) 111.8 J
B) 50 J
C) 100 J
D) 150 J

Topic: Work Done in Physics

Correct Answer: C) 100 J

Detailed Hint:

The work done is defined as the force applied times the displacement, taking into account the angle between them.
In this scenario, the man is moving the object both horizontally and vertically.
In the case of horizontal movement, no work is done as the angle between force and displacement is 90° (cos 90 = 0).
For the vertical movement, the work is simply the force (10N) times the vertical displacement (10m).
Hence, the work done during vertical movement = F × H = 10 × 10 = 100 J.

Question 3:

A rock is launched straight into the air at an initial speed of 14m/s. At what altitude will the kinetic and potential energies be equal?

A) 5 m
B) 7 m
C) 10 m
D) 12 m

Topic: Energy Conservation in Physics

Correct Answer: C) 10 m

Detailed Hint:

The problem is based on the conservation of energy principle.
At a certain height, the kinetic energy (1/2 mv²) will equal the potential energy (mgh).
Solving the equation mgh = 1/2 mv² for h gives us h = v² / 2g, where v represents the initial velocity and g represents gravity's acceleration.
Substituting the given values, we get h = 10m.

Question 4:

If the product of a body's kinetic and potential energy is 4, what will the product be if the mass of the body is doubled?

A) 8
B) 2
C) 16
D) No change

Topic: Energy in Physics

Correct Answer: C) 16

Detailed Hint:

Initially, the product of Kinetic Energy (K.E.) and Potential Energy (P.E.) is given as 4.
When the mass is doubled, both kinetic and potential energies will double.
Thus, the new product will be (2K.E.)(2P.E.) = 4 times the original product = 4 * 4 = 16.

Question 5:

When an object's velocity is doubled, what happens to its momentum and kinetic energy?

A) Momentum quadruples and kinetic energy doubles
B) Both momentum and kinetic energy remain the same
C) Momentum doubles and kinetic energy remains constant
D) Momentum doubles and kinetic energy quadruples

Topic: Relationship between Velocity, Momentum, and Kinetic Energy in Physics

Correct Answer: D) Momentum doubles and kinetic energy quadruples

Short Hint:

Momentum (P) and Kinetic Energy (K.E.) are directly related to velocity.
Momentum is proportional to velocity (P = mv), while kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared (K.E. = 1/2 mv^2).
Therefore, when velocity is doubled, momentum will double, and kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.
Hence, the correct answer is D, "Momentum doubles and kinetic energy quadruples".

Question 6:

What effect does the negative work done by a gravitational field have on the potential energy of a body?

A) It must decrease
B) It must increase
C) It may either decrease or increase
D) It remains constant

Topic: Gravitational Field and Potential Energy in Physics

Correct Answer: B) It must increase

Short Hint:

When the gravitational field does negative work, it implies that the body is being moved against gravity, thereby increasing its height.
As potential energy (P.E.) is directly proportional to height (P.E. = mgh), potential energy increases with height.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, "It must increase".

Question 7:

What is the nature of the work done by a retarding force acting on a body?

A) Positive
B) Negative
C) Can be either positive or negative
D) None of these

Topic: Work and Energy in Physics

Correct Answer: B) Negative

Detailed Hint:

Work is calculated as the product of the force and the displacement, taking into account the angle between them (Work = Fcosθ × d).
A retarding force acts in the direction opposite to the displacement, meaning the angle between them is 180 degrees.
The cosine of 180 degrees is -1, causing the work done to be negative.
Therefore, the correct response is B, "Negative".

Question 8:

What will be the kinetic energy of a pendulum when it is at its mean position?

A) None
B) The Lowest
C) The Highest
D) Undefined

Topic: Pendulum Kinetic Energy in Physics

Correct Answer: C) The Highest

Detailed Hint:

The pendulum reaches its highest velocity at its mean position, in line with the principle of conservation of energy.
As kinetic energy (K.E.) is directly related to the square of velocity (K.E. = 1/2 mv²), the kinetic energy will be at its maximum when the velocity is highest.
Thus, the correct answer is C, "The Highest".

Question 9:

If a man moves a suitcase weighing 1kg horizontally for 10m, then climbs a 10m staircase, what will the work done be against the gravitational force?

A) 0 J
B) 196 J
C) 4.9 J
D) 98 J

Topic: Work Against Gravity in Physics

Correct Answer: D) 98 J

Detailed Hint:

The horizontal work against gravity is zero since the angle between the force of gravity and the path of motion is 90 degrees (W = mghcos90° = 0).
The vertical work against gravity is the product of the mass, gravity, and height (W = mgh = (1kg)(9.8m/s²)(10m) = 98 J).
Adding both works, the total work done is 98 J. Therefore, the correct answer is D, "98 J".

Question 10:

If a 2g glass ball is let go from the smooth border of a hemispherical cup with a radius of 20cm, how much work is the gravitational force doing on the ball as it moves to the bottom of the cup?

A) 1.96 mJ
B) 3.92 mJ
C) 4.90 mJ
D) 5.88 mJ

Topic: Gravitational Work Done on an Object in Physics

Correct Answer: B) 3.92 mJ

Detailed Hint:

The work done by the gravitational force on the ball is the product of mass, gravity, and height (W = mgh).
Substituting the given values, we get W = 2g × 9.8m/s² × 0.2m = 4mJ, which is approximately 3.92mJ.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, "3.92 mJ".

Question 11:

What would be the power of a device capable of elevating 100kg of water to an altitude of 100m within a span of 5 seconds?

A) 2 kW
B) 20 kW
C) 200 kW
D) 2000 kW

Topic: Power Calculation in Physics

Correct Answer: B) 20 kW

Short Hint:

Power can be computed as work done divided by time (P = w/t).
In this case, the work done is equivalent to the gravitational potential energy of the water (w = mgh).
Substituting the given values, we get P = (100kg × 10m/s^2 × 100m)/5s = 20,000W or 20 kW.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, "20 kW".

Question 12:

KWh represents the unit of which of the following?

A) Energy
B) Power
C) Temperature
D) Time

Topic: Energy Units in Physics

A) 2 : 3
B) 9 : 4
C) 4 : 9
D) 3 : 2

Topic: Kinetic Energy in Physics

Correct Answer: C) 4 : 9

Detailed Hint:

According to the formula, kinetic energy is directly proportional to velocity squared, which means kinetic energy is always proportional to velocity squared.
Given a velocity ratio of 2:3, the kinetic energy ratio would be the square of this, resulting in a ratio of 4:9.
As a result, the correct answer is C, "4 : 9".

Question 14:

A) 1 : 1
B) 1 : 2
C) 2 : 1
D) 1 : 4

Topic: Kinetic Energy in Physics

Correct Answer: B) 1 : 2

Short Hint:

The formula for kinetic energy is K.E. = 1/2 mv^2.
If the mass of A is twice that of B but its speed is half, the kinetic energy would be proportional to 2*(1/2)^2 which simplifies to 1/2 or a ratio of 1:2.
Hence, the correct answer is B, "1 : 2".

Question 18:

How would you compare the escape velocity of a 10kg ball to that of a 5kg ball?

A) Double
B) Half
C) Quadruple
D) No difference

Topic: Escape Velocity in Physics

Correct Answer: D) No difference

Short Hint:

The escape velocity is calculated using the formula Vesc = sqrt(2GM/R), in which G represents gravitational constant, M represents planet mass, and R represents planet distance.
As a result of this formula, the escape velocity of an object escaping gravitational pull does not depend on its mass.
Therefore, the correct answer is D, "No difference".
