Question #1
A passenger in a moving train tosses a coin which falls behind him. This shows that the motion of the train is:
A. Accelerated
B. Uniform
C. Retarded
D. Along a circular track

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
When the coin is tossed, it moves forward with the initial velocity of the train due to inertia of motion. If the train accelerates during the time the coin is in the air, the train moves faster and travels a greater distance horizontally than the coin. Thus, the coin falls behind the passenger.

Question #3
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface is g. At a height equal to Earth's radius above the surface, g' will be:
A. g/2
B. 2g
C. g/4
D. g/9

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Acceleration due to gravity at height h: g' = gR²/(R+h)², where R is Earth's radius. Given h = R, so g' = gR²/(2R)² = gR²/4R² = g/4. This inverse square law dependence arises from Newton's law of gravitation. At depth, variation differs, but for height, this formula applies. Memory aid: Double the distance from center ⇒ gravity becomes one-fourth. This standard result is frequently tested in gravitation sections of competitive exams. Always verify whether height or depth is specified, as formulas differ significantly.
