A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff of height 80 m with initial velocity 20 m/s. What is the time taken to reach the ground? (g = 10 m/s²)
A 4 seconds
B 5 seconds
C 6 seconds
D 8 seconds
Correct Answer:  A. 4 seconds
EXPLANATION

Using h = ½gt², 80 = ½(10)t², t² = 16, t = 4 seconds

Test
A particle moving in a circle of radius r = 2 m completes 5 revolutions in 10 seconds. What is its angular velocity?
A π rad/s
B 2π rad/s
C 3π rad/s
D 0.5π rad/s
Correct Answer:  A. π rad/s
EXPLANATION

Angular displacement = 5 × 2π = 10π radians. Time = 10 seconds. Angular velocity ω = 10π/10 = π rad/s

Test
A particle experiences two perpendicular accelerations: aₓ = 3 m/s² and aᵧ = 4 m/s². What is the magnitude of the net acceleration?
A 5 m/s²
B 7 m/s²
C 1 m/s²
D 12 m/s²
Correct Answer:  A. 5 m/s²
EXPLANATION

Net acceleration = √(aₓ² + aᵧ²) = √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 m/s²

Test
A body slides down a frictionless incline of angle 30°. What is the acceleration along the plane?
A 5 m/s²
B 10 m/s²
C 8.66 m/s²
D 2.5 m/s²
Correct Answer:  A. 5 m/s²
EXPLANATION

On a frictionless incline: a = g sin θ = 10 × sin(30°) = 10 × 0.5 = 5 m/s²

Test
An elevator with a mass of 1000 kg is moving upward with acceleration 2 m/s². What is the tension in the cable? (g = 10 m/s²)
A 8000 N
B 10000 N
C 12000 N
D 15000 N
Correct Answer:  C. 12000 N
EXPLANATION

Using Newton's second law: T - mg = ma. T = m(g + a) = 1000(10 + 2) = 1000 × 12 = 12000 N

Test
A particle moves along a circular path of radius 5 m with a constant speed of 20 m/s. What is the centripetal acceleration?
A 20 m/s²
B 40 m/s²
C 60 m/s²
D 80 m/s²
Correct Answer:  D. 80 m/s²
EXPLANATION

Centripetal acceleration aᶜ = v²/r = (20)²/5 = 400/5 = 80 m/s²

Test
A vehicle increases its speed from 18 km/h to 54 km/h in 8 seconds. What is the acceleration of the vehicle?
A 1.25 m/s²
B 2.5 m/s²
C 3.75 m/s²
D 5 m/s²
Correct Answer:  A. 1.25 m/s²
EXPLANATION

Initial velocity u = 18 km/h = 5 m/s. Final velocity v = 54 km/h = 15 m/s. Time t = 8 s. Using a = (v - u)/t = (15 - 5)/8 = 10/8 = 1.25 m/s²

Test
Which of the following is NOT a consequence of Newton's first law of motion?
A An object at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by an external force
B Objects have inertia
C The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied
D A moving object continues to move in a straight line at constant velocity if no net force acts on it
Correct Answer:  C. The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied
EXPLANATION

Option C is the statement of Newton's second law (F = ma), not the first law. Newton's first law deals with inertia and absence of acceleration.

Test
A ball is dropped from a height of 80 m. If air resistance is negligible, what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground? (g = 10 m/s²)
A 20 m/s
B 40 m/s
C 80 m/s
D 160 m/s
Correct Answer:  B. 40 m/s
EXPLANATION

Using v² = u² + 2as, where u = 0, a = 10 m/s², s = 80 m. v² = 0 + 2(10)(80) = 1600, so v = 40 m/s

Test
A car moving at 72 km/h brakes with a deceleration of 5 m/s². How long does it take to stop?
A 2 seconds
B 4 seconds
C 6 seconds
D 8 seconds
Correct Answer:  B. 4 seconds
EXPLANATION

72 km/h = 20 m/s. Using v = u - at, 0 = 20 - 5t, so t = 4 seconds.
