Question #1
A body is moving with uniform speed in a circular path. Which statement is correct?
A. No force acts on the body
B. Velocity is constant
C. Acceleration is directed towards the center
D. Acceleration is zero

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, speed is constant but velocity direction changes continuously, requiring centripetal acceleration directed toward the center (a = v²/r). By Newton's second law, a centripetal force must act. Velocity isn't constant (direction changes); acceleration isn't zero; force is required. Memory tip: 'Uniform circular motion: constant speed, changing velocity, center-seeking acceleration'. This conceptual question tests understanding of circular dynamics, crucial for mechanics in competitive exams. Always distinguish speed (scalar) from velocity (vector) in motion analysis.

Question #2
Two resistance wires of same material and same length have diameters in ratio 2:1. Their resistances are in ratio
A. 1:2
B. 1:4
C. 2:1
D. 4:1

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
R ∝ L/A ∝ 1/d². So R₁/R₂ = (d₂/d₁)² = (1/2)² = 1/4 = 1:4.
