The change in momentum of a body is equal to
A. Impulse
B. Energy
C. Force
D. Work
Answer: Option A
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 #2
Which of the following is a fundamental unit in the SI system?
A. Joule
B. Newton
C. Candela
D. Pascal

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The seven fundamental SI units are: metre (m), kilogram (kg), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol), and candela (cd). Candela is the unit of luminous intensity. Newton, joule, and pascal are derived units. Newton = kg·m/s², joule = kg·m²/s², pascal = kg/(m·s²). Hence, candela is a fundamental unit. Exam tip: Remember the acronym ‘MKS A K M C’ for the seven base units.

Question #3
The process of a solid changing directly into gas is
A. Condensation
B. Evaporation
C. Melting
D. Sublimation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Sublimation: solid → gas. Example: dry ice (CO₂), camphor. Deposition is reverse (gas → solid). Melting solid → liquid, evaporation liquid → gas.
