Mechanics and Dynamics in Physics Quiz

#1

Which of the following quantities is a vector?

Acceleration
Explanation

Vector quantity implies direction as well as magnitude; acceleration has both.

#2

What is the formula for Newton's second law of motion?

F = ma
Explanation

Newton's second law states force equals mass times acceleration.

#3

What is the work done by a force when the displacement of the object is perpendicular to the direction of the force?

Zero
Explanation

When displacement is perpendicular to the force, no work is done.

#4

Which of the following is a unit of torque?

Newton-meter
Explanation

Torque is measured in Newton-meters.

#5

Which of the following quantities is a scalar?

Displacement
Explanation

Scalars have only magnitude; displacement is a scalar.

#6

Which of the following equations represents simple harmonic motion?

y = a sin(ωt)
Explanation

This equation represents the displacement of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion.

#7

What is the conservation law associated with momentum?

Conservation of linear momentum
Explanation

The total momentum of a closed system remains constant over time.

#8

What is the law of universal gravitation?

The force of attraction between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
Explanation

It describes the force of attraction between two masses.

#9

Which of the following is NOT a type of equilibrium?

Static equilibrium
Explanation

Static equilibrium is a type of equilibrium.

#10

Which of the following represents a non-conservative force?

Friction
Explanation

Friction dissipates mechanical energy and is non-conservative.

#11

In the absence of air resistance, what can be said about the trajectory of a projectile?

It is parabolic
Explanation

A projectile follows a parabolic trajectory in the absence of air resistance.

#12

What is the principle of conservation of mechanical energy?

Mechanical energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
Explanation

It states mechanical energy remains constant if only conservative forces are at work.

#13

Which of the following is true about an object in uniform circular motion?

All of the above
Explanation

In uniform circular motion, velocity is constant, but direction changes.

#14

What is the term for the point in a system where pressure is the same in all directions?

Hydrostatic equilibrium
Explanation

Pressure is uniform in all directions in hydrostatic equilibrium.
