Question #1
A student measures length as 3.600 cm using vernier calliper of least count 0.001 cm. Number of significant figures is
A. 1
B. 2
C. 4
D. 3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
3.600 has 4 significant figures (3,6,0,0). Trailing zeros after decimal are significant due to precision.

Question #2
A block of mass 5 kg is pushed against a wall with a horizontal force of 50 N. If coefficient of friction is 0.4, the block
A. Remains at rest
B. Oscillates
C. Moves up
D. Falls down

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Maximum friction = μN = 0.4×50 = 20 N. Weight = 50 N. Friction < weight, so block will fall. Wait, force 50 N horizontal, weight 5×10=50 N. Frictional force upward max 20 N, weight 50 N down, net downward 30 N, so it slides down. So it falls down. Answer A. Let's correct: option A: Falls down. I'll set A.

Question #3
A body is moving with uniform speed in a circular path. Which statement is correct?
A. Acceleration is zero
B. Velocity is constant
C. No force acts on the body
D. Acceleration is directed towards the center

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, speed is constant but velocity direction changes continuously, requiring centripetal acceleration directed toward the center (a = v²/r). By Newton's second law, a centripetal force must act. Velocity isn't constant (direction changes); acceleration isn't zero; force is required. Memory tip: 'Uniform circular motion: constant speed, changing velocity, center-seeking acceleration'. This conceptual question tests understanding of circular dynamics, crucial for mechanics in competitive exams. Always distinguish speed (scalar) from velocity (vector) in motion analysis.
