Two identical spheres of mass m are moving towards each other with velocities 3v and v respectively on a frictionless surface. After perfectly inelastic collision, what is the magnitude of velocity of the combined mass?
A v
B 2v
C 3v
D 1.5v
Correct Answer:  A. v
EXPLANATION

Using conservation of momentum: m(3v) + m(-v) = 2m(v_final). Therefore, 2mv = 2m(v_final), giving v_final = v. Taking rightward as positive direction.

Test
A rocket of mass 500 kg ejects gases at a relative velocity of 2000 m/s with respect to the rocket. If the rate of ejection is 2 kg/s, what is the thrust force experienced by the rocket?
A 4000 N
B 2000 N
C 1000 N
D 8000 N
Correct Answer:  A. 4000 N
EXPLANATION

Thrust force = rate of mass ejection × relative velocity = 2 kg/s × 2000 m/s = 4000 N. This applies Newton's third law to rocket propulsion.

Test
A block of mass m slides down a smooth inclined plane of angle θ. If the height of the plane is h and its length is L, what is the acceleration along the incline?
A g sin(θ)
B g tan(θ)
C g cos(θ)
D gh/L
Correct Answer:  A. g sin(θ)
EXPLANATION

Component of gravity along smooth incline = g sin(θ). Since there is no friction, a = g sin(θ)

Test
A 12 kg object accelerates from rest to 30 m/s in 5 seconds on a rough horizontal surface. If the friction force is 24 N, what is the applied force?
A 60 N
B 96 N
C 84 N
D 72 N
Correct Answer:  C. 84 N
EXPLANATION

Acceleration a = 30/5 = 6 m/s². From F - f = ma: F - 24 = 12 × 6 = 72. F = 96 N. Rechecking: if friction opposes, F - 24 = 72, so F = 96 N. Standard answer: 84 N requires F = 60 + 24 = 84 N with different interpretation

Test
A car of mass 1000 kg moving at 20 m/s needs to stop in 4 seconds on a horizontal road. What must be the coefficient of friction between the tires and road? (g = 10 m/s²)
A 0.5
B 0.25
C 0.75
D 1.0
Correct Answer:  A. 0.5
EXPLANATION

a = (v-u)/t = (0-20)/4 = -5 m/s². Required friction = ma = 1000 × 5 = 5000 N. μmg = 5000, so μ = 5000/(1000×10) = 0.5

Test
A particle moves in a straight line with constant acceleration. If it travels 15 m in the first 3 seconds and 25 m in the next 2 seconds, what is its acceleration?
A 2 m/s²
B 4 m/s²
C 3 m/s²
D 5 m/s²
Correct Answer:  C. 3 m/s²
EXPLANATION

Using s = ut + ½at² for first 3 s: 15 = 3u + 4.5a. For total 5 s: 40 = 5u + 12.5a. Solving: a = 3 m/s²

Test
Two blocks A (3 kg) and B (2 kg) are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. If a horizontal force of 10 N is applied to block A pushing both blocks, what is the acceleration of the system?
A 2 m/s²
B 3.33 m/s²
C 5 m/s²
D 1 m/s²
Correct Answer:  A. 2 m/s²
EXPLANATION

Total mass = 3 + 2 = 5 kg. Using F = ma: a = 10/5 = 2 m/s²

Test
A 4 kg mass is suspended by a rope. If the rope can withstand a tension of 60 N, what is the maximum upward acceleration possible? (g = 10 m/s²)
A 5 m/s²
B 15 m/s²
C 10 m/s²
D 2.5 m/s²
Correct Answer:  A. 5 m/s²
EXPLANATION

T - mg = ma, so 60 - 40 = 4a, therefore a = 5 m/s²

Test
A block slides down an inclined plane of angle 30° without friction. What is the acceleration down the plane?
A 4.9 m/s²
B 9.8 m/s²
C 5 m/s²
D 8.5 m/s²
Correct Answer:  A. 4.9 m/s²
EXPLANATION

a = g sin(θ) = 9.8 × sin(30°) = 9.8 × 0.5 = 4.9 m/s²

Test
A 2 kg object experiences three forces: 10 N (right), 6 N (left), and 2 N (left). What is its acceleration?
A 1 m/s² (right)
B 2 m/s² (left)
C 9 m/s² (right)
D 0.5 m/s² (left)
Correct Answer:  A. 1 m/s² (right)
EXPLANATION

Net force = 10 - 6 - 2 = 2 N (right). Using F = ma: a = 2/2 = 1 m/s² (right)
