A ball of mass 0.5 kg moving at 4 m/s strikes a wall and rebounds at same speed. Impulse imparted is
A. 4 N s
B. 2 N s
C. 8 N s
D. 0 N s
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Δp = m(v - (-u)) = 0.5(4 - (-4)) = 0.5×8 = 4 N s.

Question #1
The diameter of an atom is approximately
A. 10⁻¹⁵ m
B. 10⁻⁶ m
C. 10⁻³ m
D. 10⁻¹⁰ m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Atomic diameter ~ 1 Å = 10⁻¹⁰ m. Nucleus is 10⁻¹⁵ m (femtometre). Atomic size determined by electron cloud. 10⁻⁶ m is typical cell size. 10⁻³ m is millimetre.

Question #3
A particle moves along a circular path of radius r with constant speed v. Its acceleration is:
A. v/r directed tangentially
B. Zero
C. v²/r directed towards center
D. v²/r directed away from center

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, speed is constant but velocity direction changes continuously, producing centripetal acceleration. Magnitude a = v²/r, direction always towards the center of the circle. This acceleration changes velocity direction without altering speed. Tangential acceleration would change speed, but here speed is constant. Formula derivation: From vector analysis of velocity change over small time interval. Exam tip: Remember 'centripetal' means 'center-seeking'; this concept is fundamental for rotational dynamics questions in competitive exams.
