Question #1
Which measuring instrument is most suitable for measuring the internal diameter of a narrow tube with high precision?
A. Vernier caliper
B. Screw gauge
C. Meter scale
D. Measuring tape

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Vernier caliper is ideal for measuring internal diameters of narrow tubes due to its internal jaws designed for such measurements. Screw gauge measures external dimensions like wire diameter. Meter scale and measuring tape lack the precision (least count ~1 mm) needed for narrow tubes. Vernier calipers typically have least count 0.01 mm or 0.02 mm. Practical tip: Always use internal jaws for internal measurements, external jaws for outer dimensions. This application-based question tests knowledge of instrument selection in experimental physics, commonly featured in practical examination sections.

Question #2
Which of the following statements is perfectly true regarding uniform circular motion?
A. Velocity is constant but speed changes.
B. Speed is constant but velocity changes continuously.
C. Both speed and velocity change continuously.
D. Both speed and velocity are constant.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, the magnitude of velocity (speed) remains constant. However, the direction of motion is continuously changing tangentially at every point on the circular path. Since velocity is a vector quantity (requiring both magnitude and direction), a change in direction means the velocity is changing continuously, resulting in an accelerated motion.
