Which branch of mechanics deals with the study of moving bodies without considering the cause of their motion?

A.Statics B.Kinetics C.Kinematics D.Dynamics

According to the Greek philosopher Aristotle, what is the term used to describe a force-independent motion where a moving body naturally comes to rest?

A.Natural motion B.Violent motion C.Inertial motion D.Unbalanced motion

According to Galileo's concepts, what happens when different bodies of different size, shape, and mass are dropped from a height in vacuum?

A.The heavier body falls faster than the lighter body. B.They fall at the same rate and reach the ground at the same time. C.The lighter body falls faster due to less resistance. D.They remain suspended because there is no gravity in vacuum.

When a passenger in a moving vehicle tends to lean sideways during a sharp turn, which type of inertia is being demonstrated?

A.Inertia of rest B.Inertia of motion C.Inertia of direction D.Inertia of mass

What is the unit of linear momentum in the C.G.S system?

A.kg m s-1 B.g cm s-1 C.N s D.dyne s

Newton's first law of motion provides the scientific definitions for which of the following concepts?

A.Force and Inertia B.Mass and Acceleration C.Momentum and Friction D.Gravity and Weight

Two parallel unequal forces of 15 N and 5 N act in opposite directions on a body. What is the net resultant force and its direction?

A.20 N in the direction of the 15 N force B.10 N in the direction of the 15 N force C.10 N in the direction of the 5 N force D.0 N since the forces are in opposite directions

A door is pushed, at a point whose distance from the hinges is 90 cm, with a force of 40 N. Calculate the moment of the force about the hinges.

A.3.6 N m B.36 N m C.360 N m D.3600 N m

Because Newton's second law of motion helps us measure the amount of force acting on a body, it is also known as the:

A.Law of inertia B.Law of force C.Law of moments D.Law of momentum

Q10

In a uniform circular motion, even though the speed of the body remains constant, the direction of velocity changes at every point. What is the direction of the resulting centripetal acceleration?

A.Tangential to the circular path B.Along the radius, pointing away from the center C.Along the radius, pointing toward the center D.Opposite to the direction of motion

Q11

Which of the following describes the definition of 1 dyne of force in the C.G.S system?

A.The force that produces an acceleration of 1 m s-2 in a mass of 1 g B.The force that produces an acceleration of 1 cm s-2 in a mass of 1 kg C.The force that produces an acceleration of 1 cm s-2 in a mass of 1 g D.The force that produces an acceleration of 9.8 m s-2 in a mass of 1 g

Q12

Under what condition is the algebraic sum of the linear momentum of a system of colliding bodies conserved?

A.Only if the collision is perfectly elastic B.In the absence of an external net force C.Only if the masses of the bodies are equal D.If the temperature of the system remains constant

Q13

What is the value and SI unit of the universal gravitational constant (G)?

A.\(6.674 x 10^-11 N m2\) kg-2 B.\(6.674 x 10^-11 N m\) kg-2 C.9.8 m s-2 D.\(6.674 x 10^-11\) dyne cm2 g-2

Q14

What is the apparent weight (R) of a person of mass m in a lift that is at rest or moving with uniform velocity?

A.R = m(g + a) B.R = m(g - a) C.R = mg D.R = 0

Q15

Why do astronauts in an orbiting space shuttle experience weightlessness?

A.Because there is no gravity in the orbit of the space shuttle B.Because they and the space shuttle are in a state of free fall under gravity C.Because the centrifugal force completely neutralizes gravity D.Because the mass of the astronauts becomes zero in space
