1. When an object tied to a string moves in a vertical circle, object faces maximum tension at position,
A. Top B. Bottom C. Same at top and bottom D. None of these
2
Explanation: At bottom T=mv /r +mg
At top; T=mv2 /r -mg
Which means tension in string will be Maximum at bottom.
2. Tension in string has dimensions same as that of,

A. Decreases B. Increases C. remains same D. First increases then decreases
Explanation: L=Iω=constant
When we add water to coasting rotating system, I increases and ω decreases to conserve angular momentum.
4. Direction of angular velocity of an object moving in circular path is along,
A. tangent to circle B. towards center of circle C. axis of rotation D. none of these
Explanation:
Using right hand rule we can find direction of angular velocity.

acceleration,
A. 1m/s2 B. 2 m/s2 C. 4m/s2 D. None of these
2 2
Using relation Centripetal acceleration=v /r = 4m/s
7. A body moving in a circular path with constant speed has
A. constant acceleration B. constant retardation C. variable acceleration D. variable speed and constant
velocity
Explanation: When an object moves in circular path with uniform speed then only acceleration is produced due
to change in direction of velocity that is constant throughout the motion of object, hence acceleration produced
is constant and always directed towards center of circle.

9. The angular speed in radians/hours for daily rotation of our earth is?
A. 2π B. 4π C. π/6 D. π/12
ω= angular displacement /time taken to cover that angular displacement=2π/24= π/12 radians/hour
10. A disc and a hoop are released at top of an inclined plane which will reach the bottom first,
A. Disc B. Hoop C. both reaches at same time D. None of these
4
As speed of disc is √3 times the speed of hoop moving down the inclined plane, hence it reaches earlier at the
bottom.
11. Revolution per minute is a unit for,
A. angular displacement B. angular velocity C. angular acceleration D. time
12. If particle moves in X-Z plane, the resultant angular momentum must along,
A. X-axis B. Y-axis C. Z-axis D. None of these
Explanation:
Using right hand rule we can find the direction of angular momentum.
13. Rotational K.E of disc is,
A.1/4 (m r ω)2 B. ¼ m (rω)2 C.1/4mr2 ω D.1/4 mrω
Explanation: Rotational K.E=1/2 Iω 2

Using I=1/2 mr2 for disc we get,

Rotational K.E= 1/4 m(r ω)2
14. As wheel rolls, it has;
A. Potential energy B. Rotational K.E C. Translational K.E D. Both rotational and translational K.E
Explanation:When an object translates without sliding then it possesses both rotational and translational
K.E.
15. The rotational and translational K.E of hoop are related by;
1

Explanation: Using relations,
Rotational K.E=1/2 Iω2 and Translational K.E=1/2 mv2 and using v=rω in second equation and I=mr2 in first
equation we can get the required relationship.
16. Stokes law is applicable only if a body is moving through a liquid with slow speed and has…….shape,
A. a cubical B. a spherical C. a rough D. any
17. A skydiver jumps from a high-flying helicopter. Before reaching terminal velocity her acceleration,
A. increases B. decreases C. remains same D. is zero

A. Volume flow rate B. Volume C. Pressure D. terminal velocity
19. When radius of a spherical object falling through a fluid is doubled, terminal velocity,
A. becomes one fourth B. becomes four times C. remains same D. none of these
Explanation Using relation of terminal velocity we know that terminal velocity is directly proportional to
square of radius of sphere, hence when radius becomes doubled terminal velocity increases four times.
20. The net force acting on an object when it falls through air with terminal velocity is,
A. 0N B. equal to weight of object C. equal to drag force D. none of these
Explanation: Terminal velocity is constant velocity which is attained when net force acting on object is zero.
21. When object attains terminal velocity acceleration of falling object is,
A. 0 m/s2 B. 10 m/s2 C. 12 m/s2 D. none of these
Explanation: As terminal velocity is constant, hence acceleration of object moving with this velocity is always
0.
22. when viscosity of medium is reduced to half, drag force acting on object moving through that
medium becomes,
A. half B. double C. quadrupled D. remains same

Explanation: As drag force is directly proportional to viscosity of medium which means when viscosity
reduces to half, drag force also becomes half.
23. When cross-sectional area of pipe is doubled, fluid speed of fluid moving through that pipe becomes,
A. four times B. double C. remains same D. half

Explanation: According to equation of continuity area of cross-section of pipe is inversely proportional fluid
speed and product of these both remains constant.
