The weight of a body on a planet is 100 N. If planet's radius is half and density same as Earth, weight becomes MCQ with Answer and Explanation

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. 100 N
B. 50 N
C. 200 N
D. 25 N
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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 #1
The force required to keep a body moving in uniform velocity on a frictionless surface is
A. Equal to its weight
B. Zero
C. Product of mass and velocity
D. Equal to applied force

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
On a frictionless surface, no net external force is required to maintain uniform velocity (Newton's first law). Only to change velocity force is needed. Thus, force required is zero. If friction present, force would be needed to balance friction.

Question #2
The work done by a conservative force acting on a particle moving around any closed path is:
A. Positive
B. Zero
C. Negative
D. Depends on the path taken

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
By definition, a force is conservative if the work done by it on an object moving between two points is completely independent of the path taken. A direct consequence of this is that the total work done by a conservative force (like gravity or electrostatic force) in moving an object around a closed loop (returning to the starting point) is exactly zero.
