Which of the following is a scalar quantity?

  1. Velocity

  2. Acceleration

  3. Displacement

  4. Force


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Displacement is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude and no direction.

The SI unit of force is:

  1. Newton

  2. Joule

  3. Watt

  4. Pascal


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The SI unit of force is Newton, which is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second squared.

According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving with the same velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object's state of motion will not change unless an external force is applied to it.

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the object's mass.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This relationship is mathematically expressed by Newton's Second Law of Motion: F = ma, where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This statement describes Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that when two objects interact, they exert forces on each other that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

The motion of an object can be described by its position, velocity, and acceleration.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Position, velocity, and acceleration are the three fundamental kinematic quantities used to describe the motion of an object.

The velocity of an object is the rate at which its position changes over time.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity that describes the speed and direction of an object's motion.

Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Acceleration is a vector quantity that describes the change in an object's velocity, including both speed and direction.

In projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant throughout the motion.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant because there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

The range of a projectile is the maximum horizontal distance it travels before returning to the ground.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The range of a projectile depends on the initial velocity, launch angle, and the acceleration due to gravity.

Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Friction is a force that arises due to the interaction of microscopic irregularities on the surfaces of two objects in contact.

The coefficient of friction is a dimensionless quantity that represents the ratio of the force of friction to the normal force between two surfaces.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The coefficient of friction is a property of the materials in contact and is independent of the area of contact.

Rolling friction is generally less than sliding friction.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Rolling friction involves the motion of a round object over a surface, while sliding friction involves the motion of one solid surface over another. Rolling friction is typically less because it involves less deformation of the surfaces.

Air resistance is a type of drag force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Air resistance is caused by the interaction between the object and the molecules of the fluid.

The buoyant force is an upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
