Question #1
The number of protons in an atom determines its
A. Mass number
B. Isotope
C. Atomic number
D. Neutron number

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Atomic number Z = number of protons. Defines chemical element. Mass number = protons + neutrons. Isotopes same Z, different neutrons. Isobars same A, different Z.

Question #2
A body falls freely from rest. The ratio of distances covered in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seconds is
A. 1:1:1
B. 1:4:9
C. 1:2:3
D. 1:3:5

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
s_nth = u + (g/2)(2n-1). u=0 => s ∝ (2n-1). So 1, 3, 5. Classic kinematic ratio.

Question #3
A car accelerates from rest at 2 m/s² for 10 s, then moves with constant velocity for 10 s. Total distance covered is
A. 400 m
B. 200 m
C. 100 m
D. 300 m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Acceleration phase: s₁ = ½a t² = ½×2×100 = 100 m, v = a t = 20 m/s. Constant velocity phase: s₂ = v×t = 20×10 = 200 m. Total = 300 m. Motion in two parts.
