Question #1
Radioactive decay to 1/32 initial: number of half-lives:
A. 3
B. 6
C. 5
D. 4

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
(1/2)ⁿ = 1/32 ⇒ 2ⁿ = 32 ⇒ n = 5 half-lives. Exponential decay calculation. Memory aid: '1/2ⁿ remaining; 1/32 = 1/2⁵ ⇒ 5 half-lives'. Radioactivity arithmetic frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
Work done by centripetal force in circular motion is:
A. Negative
B. Positive
C. Zero
D. Depends on radius

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Centripetal force acts radially inward, perpendicular to tangential displacement. Work W = F·d·cosθ; θ=90° ⇒ cos90°=0 ⇒ W=0. No energy transfer occurs; speed remains constant in uniform circular motion. Memory tip: 'Perpendicular force ⇒ zero work'. Conceptual question testing work-energy understanding, common in competitive exams to identify misconceptions about circular motion.

Question #3
The dimensional formula of Planck's constant is same as that of
A. Energy
B. Force
C. Linear momentum
D. Angular momentum

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Planck's constant h = E/ν. Dimensions: [ML²T⁻²]/[T⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. Angular momentum = mvr = [ML²T⁻¹]. Linear momentum [MLT⁻¹], force [MLT⁻²], energy [ML²T⁻²]. So angular momentum matches. This is a frequently asked SSC question.
