The change in momentum of a body is equal to MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The change in momentum of a body is equal to
A. Work
B. Force
C. Energy
D. Impulse
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Impulse = F Δt = Δp (change in momentum). Derived from Newton's second law. Force is rate of change of momentum. Impulse-momentum theorem important for collisions.

Question #1
What is the excess pressure strictly inside a soap bubble of radius R and surface tension T?
A. T / R
B. 4T / R
C. T / 2R
D. 2T / R

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A liquid drop has only one free surface, so its excess pressure is P = 2T/R. However, a soap bubble in the air has two completely free surfaces (an inner one and an outer one). Because both surfaces exert surface tension forces inward, the total excess pressure inside a soap bubble is exactly double: P = 4T/R.

Question #2
Which of the following scientists formulated the 'Uncertainty Principle', stating that exact position and momentum of an electron cannot be simultaneously known?
A. Niels Bohr
B. Erwin Schrodinger
C. Werner Heisenberg
D. Max Planck

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Werner Heisenberg, a German theoretical physicist, published his famous Uncertainty Principle in 1927. The principle dictates a fundamental limit to precision at the quantum level: the more precisely the position of a particle (like an electron) is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. Mathematically, delta_x * delta_p >= h/(4pi).

Question #3
Potentiometer measures EMF accurately because:
A. Both (a) and (c)
B. It has high resistance
C. It uses null deflection
D. It draws no current from cell

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Potentiometer uses null method: at balance, no current flows through cell, so measured voltage equals true EMF (no internal resistance drop). Memory aid: 'Null method ⇒ zero current ⇒ accurate EMF measurement'. Experimental physics concept frequently tested in competitive exams to verify understanding of precision measurement techniques.
