Question #1
Assertion (A): It is easier to pull a lawn roller than to push it. Reason (R): Pushing increases the apparent weight of the roller, thereby increasing the frictional force.
A. A is true but R is false.
B. A is false but R is true.
C. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
When you pull a roller at an upward angle, the vertical component of the applied force acts strictly upwards, reducing the normal reaction (N = mg - Fsin_theta) and thus reducing friction (muN). When you push it at a downward angle, the vertical component adds to the weight (N = mg + Fsin_theta), increasing the normal reaction and consequently increasing the rolling friction.

Question #2
A wire of resistance R is cut into three equal parts. These parts are then connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is
A. R
B. 3R
C. R/9
D. R/3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Each part resistance = R/3. Three such in parallel: 1/R_eq = 3/(R/3) = 9/R => R_eq = R/9. For n equal parts cut and connected parallel, R_eq = R/n².

Question #3
If the kinetic energy of a body is increased by 300%, its momentum will increase by:
A. 150%
B. 300%
C. 200%
D. 100%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The relationship between kinetic energy (K) and momentum (p) is K = p² / 2m. If K is increased by 300%, the new kinetic energy K' = K + 3K = 4K. Since p = √(2mK), the new momentum p' = √(2m × 4K) = 2√(2mK) = 2p. The momentum has doubled. Percentage increase = [(2p - p)/p] × 100 = 100%.
