Question #1 Report Error
Raindrops fall to the ground with a uniform, constant velocity. This constant velocity is achieved when the gravitational pull is perfectly balanced by:
A. Buoyant force alone
B. Surface tension of the drop
C. The sum of viscous drag force and buoyant force
D. Viscous drag force alone

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
As a raindrop falls, it accelerates due to gravity. The upward viscous drag force of the air increases with the drop's velocity (Stokes' Law). Eventually, the downward weight of the drop is exactly balanced by the upward buoyant force of the air plus the upward viscous drag force. The net force becomes zero, and it falls with a constant 'terminal velocity'.

Question #3 Report Error
Binding energy per nucleon peaks at:
A. Helium
B. Iron
C. Uranium
D. Hydrogen

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Maximum binding energy/nucleon ≈ 8.8 MeV at iron-56, making it most stable. Lighter nuclei release energy via fusion; heavier via fission. Memory tip: 'Iron peak: most stable nucleus; fusion before, fission after'. Nuclear physics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
