The gravitational constant G has dimensions MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The gravitational constant G has dimensions
A. [ML²T⁻²]
B. [M⁻¹L³T⁻¹]
C. [M⁻¹L³T⁻²]
D. [M⁻²L³T⁻²]
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
F = G m1 m2 / r² => G = F r² / (m1 m2) => [MLT⁻²][L²]/[M²] = [M⁻¹L³T⁻²].

Question #1
Projectile peak: velocity and acceleration are:
A. Both max
B. v=0, a=g downward
C. Both zero
D. v max, a=0

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
At maximum height, vertical velocity = 0 momentarily, but acceleration = g downward throughout motion. Memory tip: 'Peak: v=0, a=g; gravity never switches off'. Kinematics concept frequently tested to correct misconception that acceleration vanishes at peak.

Question #2
A body starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration. Which graph accurately represents its motion?
A. A straight line displacement-time graph passing through origin.
B. A parabolic displacement-time graph curving upwards.
C. A straight horizontal line on a velocity-time graph.
D. A decreasing straight line on a velocity-time graph.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
For uniform acceleration starting from rest, the displacement equation is s = ½at². Since displacement 's' is proportional to the square of time (t²), the displacement-time graph is a parabola curving upwards. A straight horizontal line on a v-t graph means constant velocity (zero acceleration).

Question #3
The principle of working of a hydrogen bomb is
A. Nuclear fission
B. Chain reaction
C. Nuclear fusion
D. Chemical explosion

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Hydrogen bomb uses uncontrolled fusion of deuterium and tritium triggered by fission bomb. Releases vast energy, thermonuclear reaction. Sun's energy is fusion.
