1Which of the following contains only SI base quantities?
A.Mass, length, time, electric current
B.Force, mass, acceleration, velocity
C.Energy, speed, power, mass
D.Volume, density, time, weight
Explanation: The SI base quantities in physics include mass (kg), length (m), time (s), electric current (A), thermodynamic temperature (K), amount of substance (mol), and luminous intensity (cd). Force, energy, speed, volume, and density are derived quantities.
2A micrometer screw gauge with zero error of +0.02 mm measures the diameter of a steel ball bearing. The main scale reading is 3.5 mm and the thimble scale reading is 28. What is the corrected diameter of the ball bearing?
A.3.76 mm
B.3.78 mm
C.3.74 mm
D.3.52 mm
Explanation: Observed reading = Main scale + (Thimble scale x 0.01 mm) = 3.50 + 0.28 = 3.78 mm. Corrected reading = Observed reading - Zero error = 3.78 mm - (+0.02 mm) = 3.76 mm.
3A microsecond (µs) is equal to how many seconds?
A.10^-6 s
B.10^-3 s
C.10^-9 s
D.10^6 s
Explanation: The SI prefix micro (µ) represents a factor of 10^-6. Therefore, 1 µs = 10^-6 s.
4A student measures the time taken for a simple pendulum to complete 20 full oscillations as 32.0 s. What is the period of the pendulum?
A.1.60 s
B.0.625 s
C.32.0 s
D.640 s
Explanation: The period T of a pendulum is the time taken for ONE complete oscillation. T = Total time / Number of oscillations = 32.0 s / 20 = 1.60 s.
5Which instrument is best suited for measuring the internal diameter of a small test tube of approximately 2 cm with a precision of 0.01 cm?
A.Vernier calipers
B.Measuring tape
C.Metre rule
D.Micrometer screw gauge
Explanation: Vernier calipers have internal jaws designed specifically to measure internal diameters with a precision of 0.01 cm (0.1 mm). A metre rule lacks precision, and a micrometer cannot fit inside small tubes easily.
6A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 5.0 s. What is its acceleration?
A.5.0 m/s^2
B.125 m/s^2
C.0.20 m/s^2
D.20 m/s^2
Explanation: Acceleration a = (v - u) / t = (25 m/s - 0 m/s) / 5.0 s = 5.0 m/s^2.
7A speed-time graph shows a train accelerating from rest to 20 m/s in 10 s, maintaining 20 m/s for 30 s, and decelerating uniformly to rest in 10 s. What is the total distance traveled by the train?
A.800 m
B.1000 m
C.600 m
D.400 m
Explanation: Total distance is the area under the speed-time graph. Triangle 1 area = 0.5 x 10 x 20 = 100 m. Rectangle area = 30 x 20 = 600 m. Triangle 2 area = 0.5 x 10 x 20 = 100 m. Total distance = 100 + 600 + 100 = 800 m (or trapezium area = 0.5 x (30 + 50) x 20 = 800 m).
8What physical quantity is represented by the gradient of a distance-time graph?
A.Speed
B.Acceleration
C.Displacement
D.Force
Explanation: The gradient of a distance-time graph is change in distance divided by change in time, which equals speed.
9In the absence of air resistance, a heavy metal ball and a light feather are dropped simultaneously from the same height. Which statement correctly describes their motion?
A.Both fall with the same constant acceleration and hit the ground at the same time
B.The heavy ball falls faster because gravitational force is greater
C.The feather falls slower because it has less mass
D.The heavy ball accelerates faster than the feather
Explanation: In a vacuum (no air resistance), all objects near Earth's surface fall with the same gravitational acceleration g (approx 10 m/s^2), regardless of mass.
10A motorcycle's speed decreases uniformly from 30 m/s to 12 m/s over a time interval of 6.0 s. What is the magnitude of its deceleration?
A.3.0 m/s^2
B.7.0 m/s^2
C.18 m/s^2
D.5.0 m/s^2
Explanation: Deceleration magnitude = (u - v) / t = (30 m/s - 12 m/s) / 6.0 s = 18 / 6.0 = 3.0 m/s^2.
