A bullet of mass 20 g is fired with velocity 200 m/s. Its momentum is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A bullet of mass 20 g is fired with velocity 200 m/s. Its momentum is
A. 0.4 kg m/s
B. 4000 kg m/s
C. 4 kg m/s
D. 40 kg m/s
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Mass m = 20 g = 0.02 kg. Momentum p = m v = 0.02 × 200 = 4 kg m/s. Always convert mass to kg. Momentum unit kg·m/s.

Question #1 Report Error
A capillary tube is dipped in water and the water rises to a height 'h'. If the experiment is performed in a freely falling elevator, the water column in the tube will:
A. Rise to the full length of the capillary tube
B. Rise to height h
C. Rise to height 2h
D. Not rise at all

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The height of capillary rise is given by Jurin's law: h = 2Tcos(theta) / (rrhog). In a freely falling elevator, the effective acceleration due to gravity (g') is zero (weightlessness). As effective g approaches zero, the theoretical height h approaches infinity. In reality, the water will rise to the very top of the tube, regardless of its length, but will not overflow.

Question #2 Report Error
Potential energy of a body at a height h is 100 J. If height is doubled, the potential energy becomes
A. 200 J
B. 50 J
C. 400 J
D. 100 J

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
PE = mgh, so directly proportional to height h. If h becomes 2h, PE becomes 2 × 100 = 200 J, assuming g constant. For large heights, g varies, but basic assumption. Thus 200 J.

Question #3 Report Error
The kinetic energy of a body is 100 J and momentum 50 kg m/s. Mass is
A. 4 kg
B. 25 kg
C. 2 kg
D. 12.5 kg

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
K = p²/(2m) => 100 = 2500/(2m) => m = 2500/200 = 12.5 kg.
