A car moving at 36 km/h is brought to rest in 2 s. Deceleration is
A. 2.5 m/s²
B. 5 m/s²
C. 18 m/s²
D. 10 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
36 km/h = 10 m/s. a = (0-10)/2 = -5 m/s², magnitude 5 m/s².

Question #2
The product of force and displacement in the direction of force is
A. Energy
B. Work
C. Momentum
D. Power

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Work = F s cosθ. Energy is capacity to do work. Power is rate of work. Momentum = m v. Work and energy have same unit joule.

Question #3
Electric motor works on principle of:
A. Thermal expansion
B. Force on current in magnetic field
C. Electrostatic attraction
D. Electromagnetic induction

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Motor: current-carrying conductor in magnetic field experiences Lorentz force (F = ILB), causing rotation. Generator uses reverse principle (induction). Memory tip: 'Motor: electricity ⇒ motion (force); Generator: motion ⇒ electricity (induction)'. Device principle question frequently tested in competitive electromagnetism sections.
