Question #1
Assertion (A): It is easier to pull a lawn roller than to push it. Reason (R): Pushing increases the apparent weight of the roller, thereby increasing the frictional force.
A. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
B. A is true but R is false.
C. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
D. A is false but R is true.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
When you pull a roller at an upward angle, the vertical component of the applied force acts strictly upwards, reducing the normal reaction (N = mg - Fsin_theta) and thus reducing friction (muN). When you push it at a downward angle, the vertical component adds to the weight (N = mg + Fsin_theta), increasing the normal reaction and consequently increasing the rolling friction.

Question #2
The dimension of Planck's constant is same as that of
A. Angular momentum
B. Force
C. Linear momentum
D. Energy

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Planck's constant h = E/ν, so its dimensions are [Energy]/[Frequency] = [ML²T⁻²]/[T⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. Angular momentum = mvr = M·LT⁻¹·L = [ML²T⁻¹]. Energy = [ML²T⁻²], linear momentum = [MLT⁻¹], force = [MLT⁻²]. Thus, Planck's constant and angular momentum share dimensions. This is a key dimensional match in quantum mechanics.

Question #3
Two waves interfering at a point have a path difference of lambda / 2. Their corresponding phase difference is exactly:
A. pi / 2 radians
B. pi / 4 radians
C. pi radians
D. 2pi radians

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The relationship between phase difference (phi) and path difference (delta x) is given by the formula phi = (2pi / lambda) * delta x. Given a path difference of lambda / 2, substitute this into the formula: phi = (2pi / lambda) * (lambda / 2) = pi radians. This indicates strictly destructive interference.
