A 2 kg mass moving at 4 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 2 kg mass. After collision, first mass MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 2 kg mass moving at 4 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 2 kg mass. After collision, first mass
A. Stops
B. Moves with 1 m/s
C. Moves with 2 m/s
D. Rebounds with 4 m/s
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Equal masses elastic collision: velocities swap. Moving mass stops, stationary moves with 4 m/s.

Question #3
The dimensional formula of torque is the same as that of:
A. Momentum
B. Work
C. Force
D. Power

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Torque τ = r × F, so dimensions [L][MLT⁻²] = [ML²T⁻²]. Work W = F·d, dimensions [MLT⁻²][L] = [ML²T⁻²], identical. Momentum is [MLT⁻¹], force [MLT⁻²], power [ML²T⁻³]. Though torque and work have same dimensions, they are physically distinct: torque is vector (rotational effect), work is scalar (energy transfer). Memory tip: 'Torque and work share [ML²T⁻²]; but torque = rF sinθ, work = Fd cosθ'. This dimensional analysis question tests ability to compare quantities, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always verify dimensions but remember physical context differs.
