Question #1
An object is moving in a circular path with constant speed. Which of the following remains constant?
A. Linear momentum
B. Velocity
C. Acceleration
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.

Question #2
Dispersion occurs because:
A. Prism absorbs colors
B. TIR occurs
C. Different colors have different speeds in medium
D. Different frequencies

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
n varies with λ ⇒ v = c/n varies ⇒ different refraction angles (Snell's law). Frequency constant; wavelength changes in medium. Memory aid: 'Dispersion: n(λ) ⇒ v(λ) ⇒ different bending; violet bends most'. Optics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
Weight of 10 kg mass on Moon (g_moon ≈ g_earth/6) is:
A. 16.7 N
B. 60 N
C. 100 N
D. 10 N

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Weight W = mg. On Earth: 10×10 = 100 N. On Moon: g_moon ≈ 10/6 ≈ 1.67 m/s². W_moon = 10×1.67 ≈ 16.7 N. Mass remains 10 kg; weight changes with gravity. Memory tip: 'Mass constant; weight ∝ g'. Tests mass-weight distinction and gravity variation, common conceptual question in competitive exams.
