Question #1
The prefix 'femto' in SI units represents a factor of:
A. 10⁻¹⁸
B. 10⁻⁹
C. 10⁻¹²
D. 10⁻¹⁵

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The SI prefix 'femto' denotes a factor of 10⁻¹⁵. This is standardized by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. Common prefixes: pico (10⁻¹²), femto (10⁻¹⁵), atto (10⁻¹⁸), nano (10⁻⁹). Femtometer (10⁻¹⁵ m) is used in nuclear physics to measure atomic nuclei sizes. Exam tip: Remember the sequence: pico, femto, atto for decreasing scales. This question tests fundamental knowledge of SI prefixes essential for unit conversions in competitive examinations.

Question #2
Newton's First Law of Motion is also known as the Law of:
A. Momentum
B. Inertia
C. Gravitation
D. Action and Reaction

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Newton's First Law states that a body at rest stays at rest, and a body in motion stays in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force. This inherent property of matter to resist any change in its state of rest or motion is called inertia, hence it is known as the Law of Inertia.

Question #3
Which of the following statements is correct for an object moving with constant speed?
A. It must have zero acceleration
B. Its velocity is constant
C. It may have acceleration
D. Its displacement equals distance

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Constant speed does not imply zero acceleration if direction changes, e.g., uniform circular motion has centripetal acceleration. Velocity may change direction. Displacement magnitude ≤ distance. So only option B is correct.
