In the equation F = ma, if mass is doubled and acceleration is halved, force becomes MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In the equation F = ma, if mass is doubled and acceleration is halved, force becomes
A. Half
B. Double
C. Same
D. Four times
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
F = m×a. New force F' = (2m)×(a/2) = m×a = F. So force remains unchanged. This is direct proportionality. Understand the relationship: doubling mass doubles force, halving acceleration halves it, net effect no change.

Question #1
If a body travels half the distance with speed v1 and remaining half with speed v2, average speed is
A. (v1+v2)/v1v2
B. 2v1v2/(v1+v2)
C. √(v1v2)
D. (v1+v2)/2

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Average speed = total distance / total time = d / ( (d/2)/v1 + (d/2)/v2 ) = 2v1v2/(v1+v2).

The gravitational constant G has dimensions
A. [ML²T⁻²]
B. [M⁻¹L³T⁻²]
C. [M⁻¹L³T⁻¹]
D. [M⁻²L³T⁻²]

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
F = G m1 m2 / r² => G = F r² / (m1 m2) => [MLT⁻²][L²]/[M²] = [M⁻¹L³T⁻²].
