A bullet of mass 20 g is fired with velocity 200 m/s. Its momentum is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A bullet of mass 20 g is fired with velocity 200 m/s. Its momentum is
A. 0.4 kg m/s
B. 40 kg m/s
C. 4000 kg m/s
D. 4 kg m/s
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Mass m = 20 g = 0.02 kg. Momentum p = m v = 0.02 × 200 = 4 kg m/s. Always convert mass to kg. Momentum unit kg·m/s.

Question #2
An artificial satellite orbits Earth in a circular path. If its orbital radius is increased, its orbital velocity:
A. Remains constant
B. Becomes zero
C. Decreases
D. Increases

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Orbital velocity v = √(GM/r), where r is orbital radius from Earth's center. Thus v ∝ 1/√r. If r increases, v decreases. This follows from equating gravitational force to centripetal force: GMm/r² = mv²/r ⇒ v = √(GM/r). Higher orbits have slower speeds but longer periods. Memory aid: 'Higher orbit, slower speed' – counterintuitive but fundamental. This relationship is crucial for satellite motion questions in competitive exams. Always distinguish orbital velocity from escape velocity (which is √2 times orbital velocity at same radius).

Question #3
Work done by a man in carrying a suitcase weighing 10 kg on his head while walking 5 m horizontally (g=10) is
A. 0 J
B. 50 J
C. 250 J
D. 500 J

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Force (weight) is vertical (upward to support), displacement horizontal, angle 90°, cos90°=0, work = 0. No work against gravity because vertical height doesn't change. Energy spent is internal muscular effort, but physics work zero.
