Solution
A force of 6N acts horizontally on a stationary mass of 2kg for 4s. The kinetic energy gained by the mass is _________
A
366j
B
240j
C
144j
D
90j
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
F = 6N, m = 2kg, t = 4s, u = 0 (stationary or at rest)
K.E = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mv\(^2\)
F = \(\frac{\text{mv}}{\text{t}}\)
from rest
K.E = \(\frac{1}{2}m(\frac{\text{Ft}}{\text{m}})^2\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 2 x (\(\frac{6 \times 4}{2})^2\) = 12\(^2\) = 144J.

Circular Motion, Gravitation & Simple Harmonic Motion
Solution
The momentum of a car moving at a constant speed in a circular track
A
can be both positive and negative
B
can be zero depending on its position in the track
C
can be zero depending on its inertia in the track
D
a centrifugal
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The momentum of a car moving at constant speed on a circular track is a vector quantity that depends on both magnitude and direction.
While the magnitude of momentum remains constant because the speed is constant, the direction of the velocity (and thus momentum) continuously changes as the car follows the circular path.
As a result, the momentum vector can point in any direction and have both positive and negative components depending on the chosen coordinate system.
