Question #1
SHM acceleration a = -ω²x. Maximum acceleration occurs at:
A. Both positions
B. Extreme position
C. Mean position
D. Neither

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
a ∝ -x; magnitude maximum when |x| maximum (extremes). At mean position x=0 ⇒ a=0. Velocity maximum at mean position. Memory aid: 'SHM: a max at extremes, v max at center'. Oscillation concept frequently tested in competitive exams to verify SHM characteristics understanding.

Question #2
A bullet of mass 20 g is fired with velocity 200 m/s. Its momentum is
A. 0.4 kg m/s
B. 4000 kg m/s
C. 40 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.

Question #3
Which of the following physical quantities has the same dimensional formula as that of pressure?
A. Energy per unit volume
B. Power per unit volume
C. Momentum per unit area
D. Force per unit length

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Pressure has dimensions [ML⁻¹T⁻²]. Energy per unit volume: Energy is [ML²T⁻²], volume is [L³], so [ML²T⁻²]/[L³] = [ML⁻¹T⁻²], matching pressure. Force per unit length is [MLT⁻²]/[L] = [MT⁻²]. Momentum per unit area is [MLT⁻¹]/[L²] = [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]. Power per unit volume is [ML²T⁻³]/[L³] = [ML⁻¹T⁻³]. This dimensional equivalence explains why pressure appears in Bernoulli's equation alongside energy density. Memory aid: Pressure and energy density both represent stored energy per spatial dimension.
