A. 7 kg m/s
B. 10 kg m/s
C. 0.4 kg m/s
D. 2.5 kg m/s
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
p = m v = 5 × 2 = 10 kg m/s. Direction same as velocity. Momentum vector. Unit kg·m/s.

Question #1
At what depth below the surface of the Earth does the acceleration due to gravity become zero?
A. It never becomes zero
B. At a depth equal to half the radius of the Earth
C. At the center of the Earth
D. At a depth equal to one-fourth the radius of the Earth

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity at a depth 'd' is given by g' = g(1 - d/R), where R is the radius of the Earth. If we go to the center of the Earth, the depth 'd' becomes exactly equal to R. Substituting d = R into the formula gives g' = g(1 - R/R) = g(1 - 1) = 0. So, gravity is zero at the core.

Question #3
In a perfectly elastic collision between two bodies, which of the following physical quantities are conserved?
A. Only kinetic energy
B. Only momentum
C. Neither momentum nor kinetic energy
D. Both momentum and kinetic energy

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In any collision (elastic or inelastic), the total linear momentum is always conserved, provided no external forces act on the system. However, a perfectly elastic collision is specifically defined as one in which there is absolutely no loss of kinetic energy. Therefore, both total linear momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved.
