The following question based on mechanics (mass, force, acceleration, work, energy, momentum, velocity) topic of general science mcq

Questions : A ball is dropped from a satellite revolving round the earth at a height of 120 km. The ball will

(a) fall down to earth gradually

(b) continue to move with the same speed along the original orbit of satellite.

(c) continue to move with same speed along a straight line tangentially to the satellite at that time.

(d) go far away in space

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (b)

The orbital speed of satellite is independent of mass of satellite, so the ball will behave as a satellite and will continue to move with the same speed in the original orbit.

Question : 1

On the basis of following features identify the correct option. A. It is measured in units of kg m/s. B. Its direction is same as that of velocity of body.

a) Both A and B

b) Inertia

c) Momentum

d) Neither A and B

Answer: (c)

Question : 2

If the number representing volume and surface area of a cube are equal, then the length of the edge of the cube in terms of the unit of measurement will be

a) 5

b) 4

c) 3

d) 6

Answer: (d)

Question : 3

Consider the following statements :

  1. Action and reaction act on the same body.
  2. Volume is a measure of the inertia of a body.
Which of these statements is/are correct?

a) 1 and 2 both

b) 1 only

c) 2 only

d) None

Answer: (d)

Action and reaction act on different bodies. If a body does a force on another body, the second body will exert a force with the same magnitude and opposite direction on the first body.

Mass is a measure of the inertia of a body.

Question : 4

Which of the following is NOT an illustration of Newton's third law ?

a) Walking on floor

b) A cricket player lowering his hands while catching a cricket ball

c) Flight of a jet plane

d) Rebounding of a rubber ball

Answer: (b)

A cricketer lower his hands while catching a ball to increase the time so as to decrease the force exerted by the ball on cricketer's hands. This is not an example of Newton's third law of motion.

Question : 5

When a body is stationary

a) the combination of forces acting on it balances each other

b) the force acting on it not in contact with it

c) there is no force acting on it

d) the body is in vacuum

Answer: (a)

Question : 6

A large truck and a car, both moving with a velocity of magnitude v, have a head-on collision. If the collision lasts for 1 s, which vehicle experiences a greater change in momentum?

a) Both have the different changes in momentum

b) Both have the same change in momentum

c) Car has more change in momentum than truck

d) Truck have more change in momentum than Car

Answer: (b)

After collision,

According to the third law of motion, both the truck and the car will exert the same force on each other in opposite direction at the same time.

We know,

Force = change in momentum per unit time.

because force and time are the same for both the truck as well as a car; so the change in momentum of the truck is equal and opposite to the change in momentum of the car.
