Solution
If a projectile has maximum range of 36m, find the speed of projection (Take g = 9.8m/s2)
A
19m/s
B
2m/s
C
4m/s2
D
7m/s2
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Max Range = \(\frac{u^2}{\text{g}}\)
36 = \(\frac{u^2}{9.8}\)
u\(^2\) = 36 x 9.8 = 352.8
u = \(\sqrt{352.8}\) ≈ 18.78m/s

What is the S.I unit of relative density?
A
kg m-2
B
kg m2
C
kg cm3
D
has no S.I unit
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Note: relative density has no S.I unit
∴ Relative density = weight of substance ÷ weight of equal volume of water

The dimension of universal gravitational constant is……….?
A
\( M^{–1}L^3 T^{–2} \)
B
ML3T2
C
ML3
D
MLT-2
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
f α (MM ÷g2)
F(GMM ÷ r2) [G – gravitational constant]
GMM = Fr2
G = F02 ÷ MM = m × aπr2 ÷ MM (f = ma)
= (m × m5-2 × r2) ÷ MM
= (Kg.m52 × m2) ÷ Kg.Kg
=1 ÷ kg.m3.52
The dimension mathematically representation have a quantities of M, L AND T
M (Mass) = kg, L (Length) = M, T (Time) second
G = kg-1 m2.52(Using dimension rule)
M-1.L3.T-2
∴ The universal gravitational constant (G) =\( M^{–1}L^3 T^{–2} \)

Solution
The r.m.s value of a supply voltage is quoted at 200v. What is the approximate peak value of the voltage?
A
200volts
B
300volts
C
283volts
D
250volts
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Vr.m.s = V0 ÷ V2, where Vr.m.s rep. to as voltage root –square mean, v = peak voltage
Vr.m.s = 200volt, v = ?
200 = V0 ÷ V2
V0 = 200v2
= 200 × 1.414
= 282.8 volts V0 = b &approx.; 283 volts

Solution
Which one of the following is a vector quantity?
A
Temperature gradient
B
Mass
C
Work
D
Time
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Temperature gradient(Tg) = DT \div L = T2 – T1 \div L
i.e– it is the ratio of an increment in temperature to the length
Hence, Temperature gradient (Tg) has defined direction alongside with magnitude
And it is a vector quantity
Mass, work & Time are scalar quantity

Solution
When a man moves toward a plane mirror at a speed of 6m/s, the distance the man and his image increased at a speed of?
A
2 m/s
B
4 m/s
C
12 m/s
D
14 m/s
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Given: Speed of the man (v) = 6 m/s
Distance Calculation:
Distance to the Mirror: As the man moves toward the mirror, the distance between him and the mirror decreases by 6 m/s.
Distance to the Image: The image moves toward the man at the same speed (6 m/s).
Total Change in Distance:
The total distance between the man and his image decreases at the rate of:
Rate of distance change = v + v = 6 m/s + 6 m/s = 12 m/s
Conclusion: The distance between the man and his image increases at a speed of 12 meters per second.
