In uniform circular motion, which of the following is constant? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In uniform circular motion, which of the following is constant?
A. Kinetic energy
B. Velocity
C. Centripetal acceleration
D. Linear momentum
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed constant, so kinetic energy (½mv²) constant. Velocity, acceleration, momentum change direction.

The value of acceleration due to gravity g on the surface of Earth depends on
A. Mass of the object
B. Mass of the Earth
C. Rotation of the object
D. Shape of the object

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
g = GM/R², where M is mass of Earth, R radius, G universal constant. It does not depend on mass of falling object (Galileo's experiment). Earth's rotation causes slight variation but surface g is primarily determined by M and R. So mass of Earth is factor.

In a photoelectric effect experiment, a graph is plotted between the stopping potential (V0) on the y-axis and the frequency of incident light (v) on the x-axis. The slope of this straight line gives the value of:
A. Planck's constant divided by electron charge (h/e)
B. Speed of light (c)
C. Work function of the metal
D. Planck's constant (h)

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Einstein's photoelectric equation is K_max = hv - W. Since K_max = eV0 (where V0 is stopping potential), eV0 = hv - W. Rearranging for the y-axis variable gives V0 = (h/e)v - (W/e). This is a linear equation y = mx + c. The slope 'm' of the V0 vs v graph is strictly exactly h/e.

The number of significant figures in 3.00 × 10⁸ is
A. 2
B. 1
C. 8
D. 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Scientific notation: 3.00 has three significant figures (3,0,0). Exponent part not counted. It's a clear way to show precision. 3×10⁸ has 1, 3.0×10⁸ has 2.
