A body of mass 2 kg moves with velocity 3 m/s. It is subjected to a force of 4 N in direction of motion for 2 s. Final velocity is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A body of mass 2 kg moves with velocity 3 m/s. It is subjected to a force of 4 N in direction of motion for 2 s. Final velocity is
A. 8 m/s
B. 6 m/s
C. 5 m/s
D. 7 m/s
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
a = F/m = 4/2 = 2 m/s². v = u + at = 3 + 2×2 = 7 m/s. Impulse = Δp = 8 N s, initial momentum 6, final 14 => v=7 m/s.

Question #1
The kinetic energy of a body is increased by 300%. The percentage increase in its momentum is:
A. 100%
B. 400%
C. 300%
D. 200%

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
KE ∝ p² (since KE = p²/(2m)). If KE increases by 300%, new KE = 4× original KE. Thus p_new² / p_original² = 4 ⇒ p_new / p_original = 2 ⇒ momentum doubles, i.e., 100% increase. Memory tip: 'KE ∝ p²; so %Δp = ½ %ΔKE for small changes, but for large changes use ratio'. This proportional reasoning problem tests energy-momentum relationship, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always derive from fundamental relations when percentages are large; linear approximations fail here.

Question #2
The root mean square speed of gas molecules is proportional to:
A. Temperature
B. Square of temperature
C. Inverse of temperature
D. Square root of temperature

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
From kinetic theory, rms speed v_rms = √(3RT/M), where R is gas constant, T absolute temperature, M molar mass. Thus v_rms ∝ √T. This shows molecular speed increases with temperature but not linearly. Memory aid: 'Kinetic energy ∝ T; KE = ½mv² ⇒ v ∝ √T'. This conceptual question tests kinetic theory understanding, frequently examined in thermodynamics sections of competitive exams. Always use absolute temperature (Kelvin) in gas law calculations; Celsius would give incorrect proportionality.
