  • A. compressibility
  • B. young's modulus
  • C. bulk's modulus
  • D. shear's modulus

Explanation: Compressibility is the ratio of volumetric strain to volumetric stress. It is the inverse of bulk's modulus. Its SI unit is the pascal.

Correct answer: compressibility
  • A. ductile substance
  • B. brittle substance
  • C. plastic substance
  • D. all of these

Explanation: The substance which undergoes plastic deformation until it breaks is a DUCTILE SUBSTANCE. Therefore, option 'A' is correct.

Correct answer: ductile substance
  • A. k + 2

  • B. 28N
  • C. 160N
  • D. 400N

Explanation: According to Hooke's Law, the force F exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement x from its equilibrium position…

Correct answer: 8.0N
  • A. 8.0N
  • B. 28N
  • C. 160N
  • D. 400N

Explanation: In order to find the displacement x we subtract the untstrected length from the overall length.

Correct answer: 8.0N
  • A. T-2
  • B. LT-2
  • C. LT-1
  • D. M1T-2

Explanation: Angular acceleration (α) is defined as the rate of change of angular velocity (ω) with respect to time (t). Therefore, α = Δω/Δt.

Correct answer: T-2
  • A. (MLT)
  • B. (M2 42 L)
  • C. (ML2 T-2)
  • D. (ML2 T2)

Explanation: The SI unit for torque is the Newton-metre or kgm2sec-2. Torque has the dimension of force times distance, symbolically T−2L2M.

Correct answer: (ML2 T-2)
  • A. strain
  • B. refractive index
  • C. magnification
  • D. All of these

Explanation: The given dimensions indicate a dimensional quantity. Strain = change in length/original length [L]/[L] =1 so it is dimensionless…

Correct answer: All of these
  • A. angular momentum
  • B. power
  • C. impulse
  • D. viscosity

Explanation: The dimensions ML-1T-1 indeed correspond to viscosity. The correct explanation for option D is as follows:Viscosity is a property of…

Correct answer: viscosity
  • A. Second
  • B. Weber
  • C. Henry
  • D. Tesla

Explanation: The product of Ohm (unit of resistance) and Farad (unit of capacitance) results in the unit of time, which is the second.

Correct answer: Second
  • A. 3km
  • B. 9km
  • C. 7km
  • D. 5km

Explanation: We have to find the displacement of the cyclist from the initial position. He moves 4km east (to the right) and 3km north (upwards).

Correct answer: 5km
  • A. 12 ms-1
  • B. 13.3 ms-1
  • C. 40 ms-1
  • D. 48 ms-1

Explanation: To find the overall average speed, we use the formula: Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Correct answer: 48 ms-1
  • A. 5m/s
  • B. 10m/s
  • C. -5m/s
  • D. 15m/s

Explanation: The relative velocity of the two cars with respect to one another can be found by adding their velocities.

Correct answer: 15m/s
  • A. 12 ms-1
  • B. 13.3 ms-1
  • C. 48 ms-1
  • D. 40 ms-1

Explanation: V - overall average speedS - a total distancet - a total timeV = S/tS = V1*t1 + V2*t2 + V3*t3V1, V2, V3 - average speeds for each gear…

Correct answer: 48 ms-1
  • A. 2v
  • B. √2v
  • C. v
