What is the acceleration due to gravity 'g' on the moon, if g is 10-2 on the earth?

A.

0. 10 ms-2

B.

0.74ms-2

C.

1.6ms-2

D.

10.00ms-2

Correct answer is C

s = 10-2 on earth

g = 6 ms-2 on earth

Earth on moon = \(\frac{10}{6}\)

= 1.6ms-2

When a ball rolls on a smooth level ground, the motion of its center is

A.

translational

B.

oscillatory

C.

random

D.

rotational

Correct answer is A

A ball rolling along a smooth surface observes translational motion at the center while the rest of the body rotates round the center.

The length of a displaced pendulum ball which passes its lowest point twice every seconds is [g = 10ms-2]

A.

0.25 m

B.

0.45 m

C.

0.58 m

D.

1.00 m

Correct answer is A

T = 2\(\pi\) \(\sqrt\frac{L}{g}\)
1 = 2 x 3.142\(\sqrt\frac{L}{10}\)
(since the pendulum pass its lowest point twice in a second, hence the frequency is 1 and period T= \(\frac{1}{F}\))
L= 0.25m

Which of the following is the dimension of pressure?

A.

ML-1T-2

B.

MLT-2

C.

ML2T-3

D.

ML-3

Correct answer is A

Pressure = heg

= m x \(\frac{kg}{m^3}\) x \(\frac{m}{5^2}\)

= ML-1T-2

The graphite rods surrounding the uranium fuel rods in a nuclear reactor, are used to

A.

absorb the neutrons and hence halt the nuclear process

B.

create the neutrons and hence slow up the nuclear process

C.

slowdown the neutrons and hence slow up the nuclear process

D.

speed up the neutrons and hence speed up the nuclear process

Correct answer is C
