Question #2 Report Error
A freely falling body exhibits which type of motion?
A. Uniform velocity
B. Zero acceleration
C. Uniform acceleration
D. Non-uniform acceleration

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A freely falling body falls under the sole influence of Earth's gravity (neglecting air resistance). Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity ('g') is constant (approximately 9.8 m/s²). Because the acceleration does not change during the fall, it is an example of uniform accelerated motion.

Question #3 Report Error
A force of 10 N acts on a body of mass 2 kg initially at rest. The momentum acquired by the body after 5 seconds is:
A. 50 kg·m/s
B. 10 kg·m/s
C. 25 kg·m/s
D. 100 kg·m/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Force = rate of change of momentum: F = Δp/Δt. Thus Δp = F × Δt = 10 N × 5 s = 50 kg·m/s. Since initial momentum was zero (body at rest), final momentum = 50 kg·m/s. Alternatively, acceleration a = F/m = 10/2 = 5 m/s², velocity after 5s: v = u + at = 0 + 5×5 = 25 m/s, momentum p = mv = 2×25 = 50 kg·m/s. Both methods confirm. Memory tip: Impulse (FΔt) equals change in momentum. This direct application of Newton's second law is essential for dynamics problems in competitive exams.
