Question #1
When a body is taken to a height equal to radius of Earth from surface, its weight becomes
A. Half
B. One-fourth
C. Same
D. Double

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
g' = g (R/(R+h))². If h=R, g' = g (R/2R)² = g/4. Weight = mg' = mg/4, one-fourth. Above surface, g decreases with square of distance from centre.

Question #2
Ideal gas internal energy depends on:
A. Temperature only
B. All state variables
C. Volume
D. Pressure

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ideal gas: no intermolecular forces ⇒ internal energy = kinetic energy ∝ T. U = f/2 nRT. Memory tip: 'Ideal gas: U = U(T) only; real gases have V dependence'. Thermodynamics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
An object is moving in a circular path with constant speed. Which of the following remains constant?
A. Velocity
B. Acceleration
C. Linear momentum
D. Kinetic energy

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed constant implies magnitude of velocity constant, so kinetic energy (½mv²) is constant. Velocity changes due to direction change. Acceleration (centripetal) is directed towards centre, changes direction. Linear momentum vector changes. So only kinetic energy remains constant.
