Question #1
The weight of a body on a planet is 100 N. If planet's radius is half and density same as Earth, weight becomes
A. 100 N
B. 200 N
C. 25 N
D. 50 N

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
g = GM/R² = G (ρ 4/3 π R³)/R² ∝ ρ R. If radius half, density same, g becomes half. Weight half = 50 N.

Question #2
The number of significant figures in 0.0034060 is
A. 6
B. 5
C. 7
D. 4

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Leading zeros (before first non-zero digit) are not significant. So 0.0034060: the first non-zero is 3, then 4,0,6 are significant, and the trailing zero after decimal is significant. Thus significant digits are 3,4,0,6,0 — 5 digits. Note: The last zero indicates precision. Answer is 5.

Question #3
A bullet of mass 20 g is fired from a gun of mass 2 kg with velocity 300 m/s. The recoil velocity of the gun is:
A. 0.3 m/s
B. 0.6 m/s
C. 6 m/s
D. 3 m/s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
By conservation of momentum: initial momentum = 0 (system at rest). Final momentum: m_bullet×v_bullet + m_gun×v_gun = 0. Thus (0.02 kg)(300 m/s) + (2 kg)(v_gun) = 0 ⇒ 6 + 2v_gun = 0 ⇒ v_gun = -3 m/s. Magnitude is 3 m/s; negative sign indicates opposite direction to bullet. This demonstrates momentum conservation in isolated systems. Memory tip: Recoil velocity = -(m_bullet/m_gun)×v_bullet. Such numerical problems test application of conservation laws, frequently appearing in competitive exams with varying mass ratios and velocities.
