1. In elastic collisions,

Only the total momentum of the colliding objects is conserved.

Only the total kinetic energy is conserved.

Both of the momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved.

Neither momentum of the colliding bodies nor the total kinetic energy are recoverable.

2. Total angular momentum of a body is given by

I × ω; where I: moment of inertia of the body, ω: angular velocity

I² × ω; where I: moment of inertia of the body, ω: angular velocity

I² × ω²; where I: moment of inertia of the body, ω: angular velocity

I × ω²; where I: moment of inertia of the body, ω: angular velocity

3. Force that acts on a mass of 1 g and gives it an acceleration of 1 cms-2 is defined as

1 newton

1 dyne

1 pound-force

1 pa-force

4. An object moving in a circle of radius ‘r’ with a constant speed ‘v’ has a constant acceleration
towards center equal to

v²⁄r

v⁄r

v²×r

v×r
5. Einstein's mass-energy relationship states that if mass decreases by Δm, energy released ΔE is
given by

ΔE = Δm × c, where "c" denotes the speed of light.

ΔE = Δm × c², where "c" denotes the speed of light.

ΔE = Δm ⁄ c, where "c" denotes the speed of light.

ΔE = Δm ⁄ c², where "c" denotes the speed of light.

Answer

6. While Young's modulus ‘E’ relates to change in length and bulk modulus ‘K’ relates to change
in volume, modulus of rigidity ‘G’ relates to change in:

Weight

Density

Shape

Temperature

7. Young's modulus is defined as

Tensile strain/tensile stress

Tensile stress/tensile strain

Length/area

None of the above

8. Escape velocity is equal to

r × √(2g); where r: radius of Earth or any other planet for that matter, g: gravitational field
strength

g × √(2r); where r: radius of Earth or any other planet for that matter, g: gravitational field
strength

√ (2g) ⁄ r; where r: radius of Earth or any other planet for that matter, g: gravitational field
strength

√ (2gr); where r: radius of Earth or any other planet for that matter, g: gravitational
field strength
9. Hooke's law states that

The extension is proportional to the load when the elastic limit is not exceeded

The extension is inversely proportional to the load when the elastic limit is not exceeded

The extension is independent of the load when the elastic limit is not exceeded

Load is dependent on extension

10. Dimensions of strain are

[L]

[M] [L]-1 [T]-2

[L]-1

It's a dimensionless quantity

11. At ‘yield point’ of a copper wire

The load hasn't exceeded the elastic limit yet; so, Hooke's law applies

The load has already exceeded the elastic limit and the material has become plastic

Even the plastic stage has passed and the wire has snapped already

Like Brass and Bronze, Copper has no yield point

12. When work done in moving a particle round a closed loop in a field is zero, forces in field are
called

Zero forces

Non-Conservative forces

Conservative forces

Viscous forces
13. Substances that elongate considerably and undergo plastic deformation before they break are
known as

Brittle substances

Breakable substances

Ductile substances

Elastic substances

14. Velocity of sound waves through any material depends on

The material's density’s’ only

The material's density’s’ as well as its modulus of elasticity ‘E’

The material's modulus of elasticity ‘E’ only

Neither the material's density’s’ nor its modulus of elasticity ‘E’

15. Assuming uniform density of core, acceleration due to gravity below Earth's surface is

Inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the Earth

Inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the Earth

Directly proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the Earth

Directly proportional to the distance from the center of the Earth

16. When a gas or a liquid is subjected to an increased pressure, substance contracts, bulk strain is
defined as

Final volume ⁄ original volume

Final pressure ⁄ original pressure

Change in volume ⁄ original volume

Original volume ⁄ change in volume

19. A person of mass ‘m’ kg jumps from a height of ‘h’ meters, he will land on ground with a
velocity equal to:

√ (2 × g × h)

1/h × √ (2 × g)

2gh

2√ (g × h)

20. In linear motion, energy is given by 1⁄2mv². Similarly, in rotational motion, rotational energy is
given by

1/2 × I × ω; where I: moment of inertia of the body, ω: angular velocity

1/2 × I² × ω; where I: moment of inertia of the body, ω: angular velocity

1/2 × I × ω²; where I: moment of inertia of the body, ω: angular velocity

1/2 × I² × ω²; where I: moment of inertia of the body, ω: angular velocity
