Question #1
The kinetic energy of a body becomes four times its initial value. The new momentum will be:
A. Four times the initial
B. Twice the initial
C. Half the initial
D. Same as initial

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Kinetic energy KE = p²/(2m), where p is momentum. Thus p = √(2m·KE). If KE becomes 4 times, p_new = √(2m·4KE) = 2√(2m·KE) = 2p_initial. Hence momentum doubles. This relationship shows momentum scales with square root of kinetic energy for constant mass. Memory tip: p ∝ √KE when mass constant. This conceptual link between momentum and kinetic energy is frequently tested in competitive exams to assess depth of understanding beyond rote formula memorization. Always derive relationships when direct formulas aren't recalled.

Question #3
Which of the following physical quantities has the dimensional formula [M^1 L^2 T^-3 A^-2]?
A. Electrical Conductance
B. Electrical Capacitance
C. Magnetic Flux
D. Electrical Resistance

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Electrical resistance (R) is Voltage/Current. Voltage (V) is Work/Charge. Work is [ML^2T^-2] and Charge is [AT]. So, V = [ML^2T^-3A^-1]. Therefore, R = V/A = [ML^2T^-3A^-2]. Memorizing the dimensional formula for resistance is highly recommended for competitive exams.
