Torque dimensions same as: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Torque dimensions same as:
A. Momentum
B. Force
C. Power
D. Work
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Torque τ = r×F: [L][MLT⁻²] = [ML²T⁻²]. Work W = F·d: same dimensions. Physically distinct: torque (vector, rotational), work (scalar, energy). Memory tip: 'Torque and work: same [ML²T⁻²]; different physical meaning'. Dimensional analysis frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
Bohr radius r_n ∝
A. n
B. 1/n²
C. n²
D. 1/n

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Bohr model: r_n = n²a₀ ⇒ r ∝ n². Higher n = larger orbit. Memory tip: 'Bohr: r ∝ n²; E ∝ -1/n²'. Atomic physics relation frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
Sound cannot travel through:
A. Vacuum
B. Gases
C. Liquids
D. Solids

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Sound requires material medium for mechanical wave propagation. Vacuum lacks particles to transmit vibrations. Light (EM wave) travels through vacuum. Memory tip: 'Sound = mechanical wave ⇒ needs medium; light = EM wave ⇒ no medium needed'. Fundamental wave property frequently tested in competitive exams to assess medium-dependence understanding.

Question #3
The root mean square speed of gas molecules is proportional to:
A. Inverse of temperature
B. Temperature
C. Square root of temperature
D. Square of temperature

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
From kinetic theory, rms speed v_rms = √(3RT/M), where R is gas constant, T absolute temperature, M molar mass. Thus v_rms ∝ √T. This shows molecular speed increases with temperature but not linearly. Memory aid: 'Kinetic energy ∝ T; KE = ½mv² ⇒ v ∝ √T'. This conceptual question tests kinetic theory understanding, frequently examined in thermodynamics sections of competitive exams. Always use absolute temperature (Kelvin) in gas law calculations; Celsius would give incorrect proportionality.
