Question #1
The least count of a screw gauge is 0.001 cm. The reading of a measurement is 0.250 cm. How many significant figures does it have?
A. 4
B. 1
C. 3
D. 2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Reading 0.250 cm has three significant figures (2,5, and trailing zero after decimal). Least count gives precision, trailing zero indicates measurement to 0.001 cm, so it's significant.

Question #2
A 10 kg object is lifted to 5 m and then allowed to fall. Kinetic energy just before hitting ground (g=10) is
A. 1000 J
B. 250 J
C. 500 J
D. 0 J

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
PE at top = mgh = 10×10×5 = 500 J, converted to KE = 500 J (assuming no air resistance).

Question #3
A particle moves with velocity v = 3t² + 2t. Its acceleration at t = 2 s is:
A. 10 m/s²
B. 14 m/s²
C. 16 m/s²
D. 8 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Acceleration a = dv/dt = d(3t² + 2t)/dt = 6t + 2. At t = 2 s: a = 6(2) + 2 = 14 m/s². Differentiation of velocity gives instantaneous acceleration. Memory tip: a = dv/dt; for polynomial v(t), differentiate term by term. Tests calculus application in kinematics, common in advanced competitive exam questions.
