A 5 kg body experiences force 20 N. Acceleration produced is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 5 kg body experiences force 20 N. Acceleration produced is:
A. 4 m/s²
B. 25 m/s²
C. 0.25 m/s²
D. 100 m/s²
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Newton's second law: F = ma ⇒ a = F/m = 20 N / 5 kg = 4 m/s². Direct application of fundamental dynamics equation. Memory tip: Always convert to SI units first; here already in kg and N. Basic numerical testing F=ma application, commonly appearing in competitive exams to verify formula recall and unit handling.

Question #3
Work done by centripetal force in circular motion is:
A. Negative
B. Zero
C. Positive
D. Depends on radius

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Centripetal force acts radially inward, perpendicular to tangential displacement. Work W = F·d·cosθ; θ=90° ⇒ cos90°=0 ⇒ W=0. No energy transfer occurs; speed remains constant in uniform circular motion. Memory tip: 'Perpendicular force ⇒ zero work'. Conceptual question testing work-energy understanding, common in competitive exams to identify misconceptions about circular motion.
