Question #1
Which of the following statements is true regarding uniform circular motion?
A. Acceleration is zero
B. Speed is constant
C. Velocity is constant
D. Kinetic energy changes continuously

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, speed remains constant but direction changes, so velocity (vector) changes. There is centripetal acceleration towards centre, so acceleration is not zero. Kinetic energy = ½mv², depends on speed, so remains constant. Thus, only speed is constant.

Question #2
A body is in equilibrium under three concurrent forces. If two forces are perpendicular, the third force must be:
A. Zero
B. Equal and opposite to vector sum of the two
C. Equal to sum of the two
D. Equal to vector sum of the two

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
For equilibrium, net force = 0. If forces F₁ and F₂ are perpendicular, their vector sum R = √(F₁² + F₂²). The third force F₃ must balance R, so F₃ = -R, i.e., equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the vector sum of F₁ and F₂. Memory aid: 'Equilibrium: vector sum of all forces = 0; third force closes the triangle'. This statics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always use vector addition for force equilibrium; scalar sum is incorrect for non-collinear forces.
