Question #1
Satellite orbital velocity v = √(GM/r). If radius doubles, velocity becomes:
A. Half
B. Same
C. √2 times
D. 1/√2 times

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
v ∝ 1/√r. If r' = 2r, v' = v/√2. Orbital velocity decreases with increasing radius. Memory aid: 'Higher orbit ⇒ slower speed; v ∝ r⁻¹/²'. Proportional reasoning question testing gravitation formula application, frequently appearing in competitive exams without heavy calculation.

Question #2
Myopia (nearsightedness) is corrected by using
A. Concave lens
B. Bifocal lens
C. Convex lens
D. Cylindrical lens

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Myopic eye focuses image in front of retina. A diverging (concave) lens spreads light so image falls on retina. Hypermetropia (farsightedness) corrected by convex lens. Bifocals for presbyopia. Cylindrical for astigmatism.

Question #3
Which of the following scenarios best illustrates conservation of momentum?
A. A ball falling freely under gravity
B. A book resting on a table
C. Collision between two billiard balls on a frictionless table
D. A car accelerating on a straight road

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Conservation of momentum applies to isolated systems with no external forces. In billiard ball collision on frictionless table, external forces (gravity, normal) cancel vertically, and no horizontal external forces act, so horizontal momentum is conserved. Book on table has zero momentum but no dynamic process. Falling ball has external gravity force. Accelerating car has external engine force. Thus only option B represents an isolated system where momentum conservation holds. Memory aid: Momentum conserved when net external force = 0. This conceptual question tests understanding of system boundaries and force analysis, crucial for mechanics sections in competitive exams.
