1. What is the time period of a simple pendulum of length 1 m at a place where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2?

Solution
Correct: B
Time period (T) of a simple pendulum is given by T = 2π √(l/g), where l is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Given, l = 1 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2. Substituting these values in the equation gives T = 2π √(1/9.8) = 2 s.

2. A force of 10 N acts on a body and produces an acceleration of 2 m/s^2. If the force is increased to 15 N, what will be the acceleration of the body?

Solution
Correct: B
Using the formula F = ma, we can calculate the mass of the body: m = F/a = 10/2 = 5 kg. Now, if the force is increased to 15 N, the new acceleration can be found using the same formula: a = F/m = 15/5 = 3 m/s^2.

3. A block of mass 2 kg is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A force of 5 N acts on the block for 2 s. What will be the change in momentum of the block?

Solution
Correct: B
Momentum (p) is given by p = mv, where m is the mass and v is the velocity. The change in momentum (Δp) is given by Δp = F × Δt, where F is the force applied and Δt is the time for which the force is applied. Given, F = 5 N, Δt = 2 s. So, Δp = 5 × 2 = 10 kg m/s.

4. A body of mass 5 kg is moving with a velocity of 2 m/s. If a force of 10 N acts on the body for 2 s, what will be its final velocity?

Solution
Correct: C
Using the equation of motion v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time. First, find the acceleration: a = F/m = 10/5 = 2 m/s^2. Now, v = 2 + 2 × 2 = 6 m/s.

5. Two particles of masses 1 kg and 2 kg are moving with velocities 2 m/s and 3 m/s respectively. What will be the velocity of the combined mass if they stick together after collision?

Solution
Correct: A
Using the law of conservation of momentum: m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v. Given, m1 = 1 kg, v1 = 2 m/s, m2 = 2 kg, v2 = 3 m/s. Substituting these values gives: 1 × 2 + 2 × 3 = (1 + 2)v. This simplifies to 8 = 3v, so v = 8/3 = 2.67 m/s.

6. A spring of force constant 100 N/m is stretched by 2 m. What is the potential energy stored in the spring?

Solution
Correct: B
Potential energy (U) stored in a spring is given by U = 1/2 kx^2, where k is the force constant and x is the displacement. Given, k = 100 N/m, x = 2 m. Substituting these values gives U = 1/2 × 100 × (2)^2 = 200 J.

7. A body of mass 10 kg is moving with a velocity of 5 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?

Solution
Correct: B

8. A ball of mass 1 kg is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. What will be its velocity when it reaches the highest point?

Solution
Correct: A
At the highest point, the velocity of the ball becomes zero because all its initial kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

9. A person pulls a block of mass 5 kg with a force of 10 N on a smooth horizontal surface. If the block is displaced by 2 m, what is the work done by the person?

Solution
Correct: B

11. What will be the pressure exerted by a force of 10 N on an area of 2 m^2?

Solution
Correct: A
Pressure (P) is given by P = F/A, where F is the force applied and A is the area. Given, F = 10 N, A = 2 m^2. Substituting these values gives P = 10/2 = 5 N/m^2.

12. A cube of side 2 m is immersed in water. If the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3, what will be the buoyant force on the cube?

Solution

The buoyant force (F) is given by F = ρVg, where ρ is the density of the fluid, V is the volume of the immersed object, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Given, ρ = 1000 kg/m^3, V = (2)^3 = 8 m^3. Assuming g = 10 m/s^2, F = 1000 × 8 × 10 = 80000 N = 8000 × 10 N.

13. What is the coefficient of friction between two surfaces if a force of 10 N is required to slide a body of mass 5 kg?

Solution
Correct: B
The force of friction (f) is given by f = μmg, where μ is the coefficient of friction, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Given, f = 10 N, m = 5 kg, assuming g = 10 m/s^2. Rearranging the equation to solve for μ gives μ = f/mg = 10/(5*10) = 0.2.

14. A wave travels a distance of 20 m in 2 s. What will be its speed?

Solution
Correct: B
Speed (v) is given by v = distance/time. Given, distance = 20 m, time = 2 s. Substituting these values gives v = 20/2 = 10 m/s.
