Escape velocity depends on: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Escape velocity depends on:
A. Projectile mass
B. Atmosphere
C. Launch angle
D. Planet mass and radius
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
v_e = √(2GM/R): depends on planet's M and R, independent of projectile mass or launch direction. Memory tip: 'v_e ∝ √(M/R); property of planet, not projectile'. Gravitation concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

A 5 kg body experiences force 20 N. Acceleration produced is:
A. 25 m/s²
B. 0.25 m/s²
C. 4 m/s²
D. 100 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Newton's second law: F = ma ⇒ a = F/m = 20 N / 5 kg = 4 m/s². Direct application of fundamental dynamics equation. Memory tip: Always convert to SI units first; here already in kg and N. Basic numerical testing F=ma application, commonly appearing in competitive exams to verify formula recall and unit handling.

Question #3 Report Error
Which of the following is NOT a fundamental SI unit?
A. Ampere
B. Kelvin
C. Candela
D. Coulomb

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge, but it is a derived unit (Ampere × second). The seven fundamental SI units are meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), Kelvin (temperature), Ampere (electric current), candela (luminous intensity), and mole (amount of substance). Electric current is fundamental, making Ampere fundamental, not Coulomb.
