Easy
State whether the following statement is true or false:
Impulse represents the rate of change of momentum of a body.

Solution

(B) The statement is False.
Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of a body, not the rate of change of momentum.
Mathematically, Impulse $(J) = \Delta p = F \times \Delta t$, where $\Delta p$ is the change in momentum.
The rate of change of momentum $(\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t})$ is equal to the force $(F)$ applied to the body, according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Easy
State whether the following statement is true or false:
$1 \ N$ is the force that produces an acceleration of $1 \ m \ s^{-2}$ in a body of mass $1 \ g$.

Solution

(FALSE) The statement is False.
According to Newton's second law of motion,$F = m \times a$.
$1 \ N$ is defined as the force required to produce an acceleration of $1 \ m \ s^{-2}$ in a body of mass $1 \ kg$,not $1 \ g$.
Since $1 \ kg = 1000 \ g$,the force required to accelerate $1 \ g$ $(0.001 \ kg)$ at $1 \ m \ s^{-2}$ is $0.001 \ N$.

EasyMCQ
The $SI$ unit of force is
A
newton
B
newton per second
C
newton-metre
D
newton per square metre

Solution

(A) The $SI$ unit of force is the $newton$ $(N)$.
According to $Newton's$ second law of motion, $Force = mass \times acceleration$ $(F = m \times a)$.
The unit of mass is $kilogram$ $(kg)$ and the unit of acceleration is $metre$ per $second$ squared $(m/s^2)$.
Therefore, $1 \ N = 1 \ kg \cdot m/s^2$.
54
EasyMCQ
The rate of change of momentum is
A
velocity
B
acceleration
C
force
D
impulse

Solution

(C) According to Newton's $Second$ $Law$ of $Motion$, the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of the force.
Mathematically, if $p$ is momentum, $m$ is mass, and $v$ is velocity, then $p = mv$.
The rate of change of momentum is given by $\frac{dp}{dt} = \frac{d(mv)}{dt} = m \frac{dv}{dt} = ma$.
Since $F = ma$, the rate of change of momentum is equal to the force applied.
55
EasyMCQ
The acceleration of a body is to be doubled from its initial value. By what factor is the acting force to be increased?
A
half
B
two
C
four
D
one

Solution

(B) According to Newton's second law of motion,the force $F$ acting on a body is given by the product of its mass $m$ and acceleration $a$,expressed as $F = m \times a$.
If the mass $m$ of the body remains constant,the force $F$ is directly proportional to the acceleration $a$ $(F \propto a)$.
If the acceleration is doubled $(a' = 2a)$,then the new force $F'$ will be $F' = m \times (2a) = 2 \times (m \times a) = 2F$.
Therefore,the acting force must be increased by a factor of $2$.
56
EasyMCQ
Newton's second law of motion gives us a measure of
A
momentum
B
inertia
C
acceleration
D
force

Solution

(D) Newton's second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of the force.
Mathematically,$F = ma$,where $F$ is the force,$m$ is the mass,and $a$ is the acceleration.
Thus,the second law provides a quantitative measure of force.
57
EasyMCQ
When a net force acts on an object,the object will be accelerated in the direction of the force with an acceleration proportional to:
A
force on the object
B
velocity of object
C
mass of object
D
inertia of object

Solution

(A) According to Newton's Second Law of Motion,the force $(F)$ acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass $(m)$ and acceleration $(a)$.
This is expressed by the formula: $F = m \times a$.
Rearranging this formula to solve for acceleration,we get: $a = F / m$.
Since the mass $(m)$ of the object is constant,the acceleration $(a)$ is directly proportional to the net force $(F)$ applied to the object $(a \propto F)$.
58
EasyMCQ
The quantitative definition of force is given by
A
Newton's first law of motion
B
Newton's third law of motion
C
Law of conservation of momentum
D
Newton's second law of motion

Solution

(D) $Newton's$ second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of the force.
Mathematically,$F = ma$,where $F$ is the force,$m$ is the mass,and $a$ is the acceleration.
This law provides a quantitative measure of force,allowing us to calculate the magnitude of force required to produce a specific acceleration in an object of a given mass.
