Question #1
Which of the following scientists formulated the 'Uncertainty Principle', stating that exact position and momentum of an electron cannot be simultaneously known?
A. Erwin Schrodinger
B. Niels Bohr
C. Werner Heisenberg
D. Max Planck

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Werner Heisenberg, a German theoretical physicist, published his famous Uncertainty Principle in 1927. The principle dictates a fundamental limit to precision at the quantum level: the more precisely the position of a particle (like an electron) is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. Mathematically, delta_x * delta_p >= h/(4pi).

Question #2
The escape velocity from Earth's surface is approximately 11.2 km/s. If a planet has twice Earth's radius and same density, its escape velocity will be:
A. 11.2 km/s
B. 5.6 km/s
C. 22.4 km/s
D. 15.8 km/s

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Escape velocity v_e = √(2GM/R). Mass M = density ρ × volume = ρ×(4/3)πR³. Thus v_e = √(2Gρ×4/3πR³ / R) = √(8GρπR²/3) ∝ R√ρ. Given same density and R_planet = 2R_earth, v_e ∝ R, so v_e_planet = 2 × 11.2 = 22.4 km/s. This derivation shows escape velocity scales linearly with radius for constant density. Memory tip: v_e ∝ √(M/R) and M ∝ R³ for constant ρ, so v_e ∝ R. Such proportional reasoning questions test conceptual grasp of gravitation formulas in competitive exams without heavy calculation.
