The force that opposes relative motion between surfaces in contact is
A. Gravitational force
B. Frictional force
C. Electrostatic force
D. Magnetic force
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Friction acts parallel to surfaces, opposes motion. Static, kinetic, rolling friction. Depends on normal force and surface roughness. Necessary for walking, vehicles.

Question #2
The work done in moving a body along a closed path in a conservative force field is
A. Minimum
B. Depends on path
C. Maximum
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Conservative forces (gravitational, electrostatic) have zero net work around closed path. Friction is non-conservative.

Question #3
Alpha particles are fundamentally equivalent to:
A. High-energy photons
B. Fast-moving electrons
C. Helium nuclei
D. Hydrogen nuclei

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons tightly bound together. This is completely identical to the nucleus of a helium atom (He²⁺). Alpha particles are positively charged, relatively massive, have low penetrating power, and are emitted by heavy radioactive elements during alpha decay.
