A machine gun fires n bullets per second, each of mass m with velocity v. The force on the gun is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A machine gun fires n bullets per second, each of mass m with velocity v. The force on the gun is
A. nmv/t
B. ½ nmv
C. nmv²
D. nmv
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Force = rate of change of momentum = n × (mv) = nmv. This is average force required to hold gun.

Question #1
When a body is taken from equator to pole, its weight
A. Increases
B. Decreases
C. Remains same
D. Becomes zero

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
g is slightly higher at poles (9.83 m/s²) than equator (9.78 m/s²) due to Earth's rotation (centrifugal effect) and equatorial bulge. Weight = mg, so weight increases slightly. Mass constant.

Question #3
A bimetallic strip bends on heating due to
A. Different densities
B. Different specific heats
C. Different melting points
D. Different thermal expansion coefficients

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Bimetallic strip consists of two metals with different coefficients of linear expansion. On heating, one expands more, causing bending. Used in thermostats, fire alarms. Expansion difference causes curvature.
