Question #1
The weight of a body on a planet is 100 N. If planet's radius is half and density same as Earth, weight becomes
A. 200 N
B. 100 N
C. 50 N
D. 25 N

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
g = GM/R² = G (ρ 4/3 π R³)/R² ∝ ρ R. If radius half, density same, g becomes half. Weight half = 50 N.

Question #2
Escape velocity of a body from Earth is 11.2 km/s. For a planet with mass 9 times Earth and radius same, escape velocity is
A. 33.6 km/s
B. 3.73 km/s
C. 11.2 km/s
D. 22.4 km/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
v_esc ∝ √M. M'=9M => v'=3×11.2=33.6 km/s.

Question #3
The prefix 'femto' in SI units represents a factor of:
A. 10⁻⁹
B. 10⁻¹⁵
C. 10⁻¹⁸
D. 10⁻¹²

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The SI prefix 'femto' denotes a factor of 10⁻¹⁵. This is standardized by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. Common prefixes: pico (10⁻¹²), femto (10⁻¹⁵), atto (10⁻¹⁸), nano (10⁻⁹). Femtometer (10⁻¹⁵ m) is used in nuclear physics to measure atomic nuclei sizes. Exam tip: Remember the sequence: pico, femto, atto for decreasing scales. This question tests fundamental knowledge of SI prefixes essential for unit conversions in competitive examinations.
