If you want to learn more about the nature and properties of matter and energy or you're simply preparing for a Physics exam, these Physics past questions and answers are ideal for you.
When the speed of a car is halved, its kinetic energy is
doubled
quartered
halved
quadrupled
Correct answer is B
Given K1 = mv22.
When v is halved, we have
K2 = m×(v2)22
= K14
Hence, the initial kinetic energy is quartered.
increases
decreases
remain the same
decreases and later increases
Correct answer is B
The velocity ratio and therefore, the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane system increases as θ decreases and vice-versa.
50V
100V
200V
400V
Correct answer is C
The ideal transformer (either step-up or step-down) works with the equation:
VsVp=NsNp=IpIs
where Vs and Vp are the voltages applied to the secondary and the primary respectively
Ns and Np are the number of turns on the secondary and primary coils respectively
Ip and Is are the currents flowing in the primary and secondary coils respectively.
Vs100=200100
Vs=200×100100=200V
1.11×10−7N towards P
1.11×10−7N towards Q
9.26×10−8N towards P
9.26×10−8N towards Q
Correct answer is D
F=Gm1m2r2
m1=100kg
m2=20kg;r=1.2m
G=6.67×10−11
F=6.67×10−11×100×20(1.2)2=9.26×10−8
The acceleration of each object is inversely proportional to the mass, the lighter object will move a bit faster, hence. the force will act in the direction of Q.
