A constant horizontal force is applied to a body initially at rest on a smooth horizontal table. Which of the following quantities will not change during the application of the force?
- A.
The displacement of the body.
- B.
The velocity of the body.
- C.
The acceleration of the body.
- D.
The kinetic energy of the body.
Correct Answer
C. The acceleration of the body.Explanation
The acceleration of the body will not change during the application of the force. This is because acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to an object, according to Newton's second law of motion. As long as the force remains constant, the acceleration will also remain constant. The displacement, velocity, and kinetic energy of the body, on the other hand, will change as the force is applied.Rate this question:

The normal force acting on a body is always equal (in magnitude) to its weight.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The normal force acting on a body is not always equal to its weight. The normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. It is always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by the object on the surface. The weight of an object, on the other hand, is the force exerted by gravity on the object and is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the normal force and weight can be equal only when the object is in equilibrium and on a horizontal surface.Rate this question:

An astronaut on the Moon can jump much higher than a person on Earth because
- A.
He/she weighs less on the Moon than on Earth.
- B.
His/her mass is less on the Moon than on Earth.
- C.
There is little or no atmosphere on the Moon.
Correct Answer
A. He/she weighs less on the Moon than on Earth.Explanation
The correct answer is that an astronaut on the Moon can jump much higher than a person on Earth because he/she weighs less on the Moon than on Earth. This is due to the difference in gravitational pull between the Moon and Earth. The Moon has only about 1/6th the gravity of Earth, so objects and people on the Moon weigh much less compared to their weight on Earth. As a result, the astronaut's reduced weight allows for a higher jump on the Moon.Rate this question:

What does each division on the vernier scale of a vernier calipers represent?
- A.
0.01 mm
- B.
0.1 mm
- C.
0.1 cm
- D.
1 cm
Correct Answer
B. 0.1 mmExplanation
Each division on the vernier scale of a vernier calipers represents a measurement of 0.1 mm. This means that each small division on the scale corresponds to a difference of 0.1 mm in the measurement being taken. The vernier scale is used to provide a more precise measurement than what can be obtained from the main scale alone, allowing for measurements to be taken to the nearest 0.1 mm.Rate this question:
