Rotational Vs Translational Kinetic Energy

easy
Physics

The rotational kinetic energy of a hoop is equal to the _________?

A
its translational kinetic energy
B
half of its translational kinetic energy
C
double its translational kinetic energy
D
four times its translational kinetic energy
Explanation and memory cue

For a hoop rolling without slipping, its rotational kinetic energy equals its translational kinetic energy because the moment of inertia is I = MR², and rotational KE = (1/2)Iω² = (1/2)MR²(ω²). Since v = ωR, this equals (1/2)Mv², which is the translational kinetic energy.

General Relativity (Einstein)

medium
Physics

According to Einstein, the gravitational interaction is possible between __________?

A
material objects only
B
material objects and electromagnetic radiation only
C
electromagnetic radiations
D
none of the above
Explanation and memory cue

According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity affects all forms of energy and momentum, including material objects and electromagnetic radiation (light). Therefore, gravitational interaction is possible between material objects and electromagnetic radiation.

Friction & Circular Motion

medium
Physics

A cyclist cycling around a circular racing track skids because _________?

A
the centripetal force upon him is less than limiting friction
B
the centripetal force upon him is greater than limiting friction
C
the centripetal force upon him is equal to the limiting friction
D
the friction between the tyres of the cycle and road vanishes
Explanation and memory cue

A cyclist skids when the required centripetal force to maintain circular motion exceeds the maximum frictional force (limiting friction) available between the tyres and the road. This causes the tyres to lose grip and skid outward.

Bernoulli Effect

medium
Physics

The effect of the decrease in pressure with the increase of the speed of the fluid in a horizontal pipe is known as _________?

A
Bernoulli effect
B
Torricelli effect
C
Venturi effect
D
Stokes effect
Explanation and memory cue

The decrease in pressure with an increase in fluid speed in a horizontal pipe is described by Bernoulli's principle, often called the Bernoulli effect. The Venturi effect is a specific application of Bernoulli's principle involving a constricted pipe section, but the general phenomenon is Bernoulli's effect.

Vibrations (Energy In S.h.m)

easy
Physics

In vibratory motion, what remains constant?

A
Potential energy remains constant
B
Kinetic energy remains constant
C
Total energy remains constant
D
Total momentum remains constant
Explanation and memory cue

In vibratory motion, such as simple harmonic motion, the total mechanical energy (sum of potential and kinetic energy) remains constant if there is no damping or external force. This is because energy continuously transforms between kinetic and potential forms without loss.

Pressure Units

easy
Physics

One torr is equal to _________?

A
133.3 Nm-2
B
.1333 Nm-2
C
13.33 Nm-2
D
133.3 Nm2
Explanation and memory cue

One torr is defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere. Since one atmosphere is defined as 101325 pascals (N/m²), one torr equals 101325/760 pascals, which is approximately 133.322 pascals (N/m²). Therefore, option A, '133.3 Nm-2', correctly represents one torr. Note that the unit should be written as N/m² (newtons per square meter), which is equivalent to pascals (Pa).

Apparent Weight In Accelerating Elevator

easy
Physics

A man of weight mg is standing on an elevator which is ascending with an acceleration a. The apparent weight of the man is _________?

A
mg
B
mg – ma
C
mg + ma
D
mg – ma
Explanation and memory cue

When an elevator accelerates upward with acceleration a, the apparent weight increases by ma, making it mg + ma. This is because the normal force must counteract both gravity and the upward acceleration.

Fluid Dynamics

easy
Physics

For which type of flow can the path of fluid particles not be tracked?

A
Laminar
B
Streamline
C
Turbulent
D
Both A and B
Explanation and memory cue

In turbulent flow, fluid particles move chaotically and irregularly, making it impossible to track their exact paths. In contrast, laminar flow features smooth, orderly layers where particle paths are well-defined and trackable.

Arc Length

easy
Physics

If a wheel of radius r turns through an angle of 30°, then the distance through which any point on its rim moves is ________?

A
π /3 × r
B
π /6 × r
C
√30 × r
D
π / 180 × r
Explanation and memory cue

The distance moved by a point on the rim of a wheel turning through an angle is the arc length of the circle segment described by that angle. The arc length s is given by s = r × θ, where θ is the angle in radians. Since 30° equals π/6 radians, the arc length is s = r × (π/6) = (π r)/6. Therefore, the correct option is B: π/6 × r.

Ideal Fluid Flow

easy
Physics

The flow of an ideal fluid is always _________?

A
Turbulent
B
Streamline
C
Irregular
D
Straight line
Explanation and memory cue

The flow of an ideal fluid is always streamline (or laminar) because ideal fluids are non-viscous and incompressible, which prevents turbulence and irregular flow patterns.
