Question #2
A variable force F = (3x^2 + 2x) N acts on a particle. The work done by this force in moving the particle from x = 1 m to x = 2 m is:
A. 12 J
B. 10 J
C. 14 J
D. 16 J

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Work done by a variable force is the definite integral of F dx. W = Integral(3x^2 + 2x) dx from 1 to 2. W = [x^3 + x^2] evaluated from 1 to 2. Upper limit: (2^3 + 2^2) = 8 + 4 = 12. Lower limit: (1^3 + 1^2) = 1 + 1 = 2. Work = 12 - 2 = 10 Joules.

Question #3
The magnifying power of a simple microscope is maximum when the image is formed at
A. Infinity
B. Near point
C. Focus
D. 2F

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
M = 1 + D/f when image at near point (D = 25 cm). For infinity, M = D/f. So max at near point.
