Newton's First Law of Motion is also known as the Law of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Newton's First Law of Motion is also known as the Law of:
A. Momentum
B. Gravitation
C. Inertia
D. Action and Reaction
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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 #1
Which scientific instrument is explicitly designed for measuring extremely small lengths with high precision by using a main scale and a rotating circular scale?
A. Spectrometer
B. Screw Gauge (Micrometer)
C. Spherometer
D. Vernier Caliper

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A micrometer screw gauge uses the principle of a screw rotating in a nut to measure very tiny dimensions (like the diameter of a thin wire). It features a linear main scale and a rotating circular scale on the thimble. While a Vernier caliper measures small distances using sliding scales, the screw gauge generally offers greater precision (least count often 0.01 mm or 0.001 mm).

Question #3
The phenomenon of beats can be observed when two sound waves have:
A. Same frequency and amplitude
B. Slightly different frequencies
C. Same frequency but different amplitudes
D. Very different frequencies

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Beats occur due to interference of two waves with slightly different frequencies (Δf small, typically < 10 Hz for audible beats). The beat frequency is |f₁ - f₂|, causing periodic loudness variation. Same frequency (A, B) produces steady interference (no beats); very different frequencies (D) produce rapid fluctuations not perceived as beats. Memory aid: 'Beats: |f₁ - f₂| small ⇒ audible pulsations; used in tuning'. This wave phenomenon question tests superposition understanding, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always link beat perception to frequency difference magnitude; competitive exams often test qualitative conditions for observable beats.
