Venturi Meter

easy
Physics

The speed of the fluid is maximum in the Venturi meter at _________?

A
Convergent duct
B
Divergent duct
C
Throat
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

In a Venturi meter, the fluid speed is maximum at the throat, which is the narrowest part of the meter. According to the principle of continuity, the velocity increases where the cross-sectional area decreases.

Aerodynamics

easy
Physics

The profile of an aeroplane wing which generates lift is called __________?

A
Wing shape
B
Aerofoil profile
C
Curved profile
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The shape of an airplane wing that generates lift is called an aerofoil (or airfoil) profile. This design allows air to flow faster over the top surface, creating lower pressure and thus lift.

Projectile Motion

easy
Physics

The span of the broad jump depends upon __________?

A
Mass of the jumper
B
Height of jump
C
Angle of projection
D
None
Explanation and memory cue

The span (horizontal distance) of a broad jump depends primarily on the angle of projection, as it determines the trajectory and range of the jump. Other factors like mass or height of jump do not directly determine the horizontal distance covered.

Angular Vs Linear Velocity

easy
Physics

When a body moves in a circle, the angle between its linear velocity and angular velocity is always _________?

A
180°
B
C
90°
D
45°
Explanation and memory cue

When a body moves in a circle, its linear velocity is tangent to the circle, while its angular velocity vector points along the axis of rotation (perpendicular to the plane of motion). Therefore, the angle between linear velocity and angular velocity is always 90°.

Frames Of Reference

medium
Physics

A satellite moving around the Earth constitutes a ________?

A
An inertial frame of reference
B
Non-inertial frame
C
Neither inertial nor non-inertial
D
Both inertial and non-inertial
Explanation and memory cue

A satellite orbiting the Earth is accelerating due to the centripetal force acting towards the Earth, making its frame of reference non-inertial. Inertial frames are those that are either at rest or move with constant velocity, without acceleration.

Measurement Uncertainty

medium
Physics

To reduce the uncertainty in a timing experiment, which of the following is effective?

A
Highly precise instrument
B
Conduct at room temperature
C
Count number of vibration
D
Both A and C
Explanation and memory cue

Reducing uncertainty in timing experiments can be achieved by using highly precise instruments to improve measurement accuracy and by counting the number of vibrations to increase the total measured time, thereby reducing relative error. Both methods together help minimize timing uncertainty.

Centripetal Force

easy
Physics

When a body moves in a circle of radius r with linear speed V, its centripetal force is _________?

A
mV/r²
B
mV/r
C
mV²/r
D
mV²/r²
Explanation and memory cue

The centripetal force required to keep a body moving in a circle of radius r at linear speed V is given by F = mV²/r, where m is the mass of the body. This force acts towards the center of the circle.

Linear Speed In Circular Motion

easy
Physics

When a wheel 1 m in diameter makes 30 revolutions per minute, the linear speed of a point on its rim in m/s is ________?

A
B
π/2
C
π
D
20π
Explanation and memory cue

The linear speed v of a point on the rim of a wheel is given by v = circumference × revolutions per second. The wheel diameter is 1 m, so the circumference is π × 1 = π meters. The wheel makes 30 revolutions per minute, which is 30/60 = 0.5 revolutions per second. Therefore, the linear speed is π × 0.5 = π/2 meters per second. Hence, the correct answer is option B (π/2).

Circular Motion & Projections

medium
Physics

The acceleration of the projection on the diameter for a particle moving along a circle is ________?

A
w2x
B
wx2
C
w2x
D
wx2
Explanation and memory cue

For a particle moving in a circle with angular velocity , the acceleration of its projection on the diameter (x-axis) is given by . The negative sign indicates direction, but since options do not show signs, the magnitude is . Option A correctly represents this as "w2x" (interpreted as ).

Si Units (Force)

easy
Physics

The unit of force is _________ and its symbol is _________. Which is the correct pair?

A
Newton, n
B
Newton, N
C
newton, n
D
newton, N
Explanation and memory cue

The SI unit of force is the Newton, which is a proper noun and should be capitalized. Its symbol is 'N', also capitalized. Therefore, the correct pair is 'Newton, N'.
