Question #1
A body starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration a. The ratio of distances covered in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seconds of motion is:
A. 1:3:5
B. 1:2:3
C. 1:1:1
D. 1:4:9

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Distance covered in nth second: sₙ = u + a(2n-1)/2. With u=0, sₙ ∝ (2n-1). For n=1: 2(1)-1=1; n=2: 3; n=3:5. Thus ratio 1:3:5. This result holds for any uniformly accelerated motion starting from rest. The distances covered in successive equal time intervals follow odd number ratio. Memory aid: This is a standard result derivable from s = ut + ½at² by calculating s at t=n and t=n-1. Frequently appears in competitive exams testing equation of motion applications.

Question #2
A body weighs 72 N on the surface of the Earth. What is the gravitational force on it at a height equal to half the radius of the Earth?
A. 32 N
B. 72 N
C. 16 N
D. 28 N

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Weight on surface W = mg = 72 N. Acceleration due to gravity at height h is g' = g [R / (R+h)]². Here h = R/2. So, g' = g [R / (R + R/2)]² = g [1 / (3/2)]² = g (2/3)² = 4g/9. The new weight W' = mg' = m(4g/9) = (4/9)mg = (4/9) × 72 = 32 N.

Question #3
If X = a²b³/c², and percentage errors in a, b, c are 2% each, the maximum percentage error in X is
A. 8%
B. 14%
C. 12%
D. 10%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
ΔX/X = 2(Δa/a) + 3(Δb/b) + 2(Δc/c) = 2×2% + 3×2% + 2×2% = 4% + 6% + 4% = 14%. Always add absolute relative errors.
