Temperature is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude. Displacement, velocity, and acceleration are vector quantities as they have both magnitude and direction.
Which law states that the force of attraction between two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them?
ANewton's First Law
BNewton's Second Law
CNewton's Law of Gravitation
DKepler's First Law
Correct Answer:
C. Newton's Law of Gravitation
Explanation:
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states F = G(m₁m₂)/r². This is the fundamental law describing gravitational attraction between masses.
The process by which plants prepare their food using sunlight is known as:
ARespiration
BPhotosynthesis
CFermentation
DTranspiration
Correct Answer:
B. Photosynthesis
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process where plants use sunlight, water, and CO₂ to produce glucose and oxygen. The equation is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.
A body moving in a circular path with constant speed possesses which type of acceleration?
AZero acceleration
BCentripetal acceleration directed toward the center
CTangential acceleration only
DUniform acceleration in the direction of motion
Correct Answer:
B. Centripetal acceleration directed toward the center
Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, speed is constant but direction changes continuously. This change in direction causes centripetal acceleration always directed toward the center of the circle.
Two bodies of masses 2 kg and 3 kg are dropped from the same height in vacuum. Which statement is correct?
A2 kg mass reaches ground first
B3 kg mass reaches ground first
CBoth reach ground simultaneously
D2 kg mass falls slower due to lesser inertia
Correct Answer:
C. Both reach ground simultaneously
Explanation:
In vacuum, acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass. Both bodies experience the same gravitational acceleration (g ≈ 9.8 m/s²) and fall from the same height, so they reach the ground simultaneously.
The SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa). How is it related to other SI units?
AN/m²
Bkg/(m·s²)
CJ/m³
DAll of the above
Correct Answer:
D. All of the above
Explanation:
Pascal = N/m² = kg/(m·s²) = J/m³. All these expressions are dimensionally equivalent representations of pressure, showing the fundamental relationship between force, area, and SI base units.
