Question #1
A body falls freely from rest. The ratio of distances covered in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seconds is
A. 1:4:9
B. 1:1:1
C. 1:3:5
D. 1:2:3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
s_nth = u + (g/2)(2n-1). u=0 => s ∝ (2n-1). So 1, 3, 5. Classic kinematic ratio.

A bullet of mass 20 g is fired with velocity 200 m/s. Its momentum is
A. 4000 kg m/s
B. 40 kg m/s
C. 0.4 kg m/s
D. 4 kg m/s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Mass m = 20 g = 0.02 kg. Momentum p = m v = 0.02 × 200 = 4 kg m/s. Always convert mass to kg. Momentum unit kg·m/s.
