Question #1
A projectile is launched at 30° with speed 20 m/s. Horizontal range is: (g=10 m/s²)
A. 20√3 m
B. 10√3 m
C. 40 m
D. 20 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Range R = u²sin(2θ)/g = (20)²×sin(60°)/10 = 400×(√3/2)/10 = 20√3 m. Formula applies for level ground projection. Memory tip: sin(2θ) for θ=30° is sin60°=√3/2. Standard projectile calculation frequently appearing in competitive exams with trigonometric values.

Question #3
The dimensional formula for energy density (energy per unit volume) is the same as that of:
A. Pressure
B. Momentum
C. Force
D. Power

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Energy density = energy/volume. Energy has dimensions [ML²T⁻²], volume [L³], so energy density = [ML²T⁻²]/[L³] = [ML⁻¹T⁻²]. Pressure = force/area = [MLT⁻²]/[L²] = [ML⁻¹T⁻²], identical. Force is [MLT⁻²], power [ML²T⁻³], momentum [MLT⁻¹]. This equivalence explains why pressure appears in Bernoulli's equation alongside kinetic/potential energy density. Memory aid: 'Pressure and energy density share dimensions [ML⁻¹T⁻²]'. This dimensional analysis question tests ability to derive and compare formulas, frequently appearing in competitive exams to assess conceptual depth.
