    A constant horizontal force is applied to a body initially at rest on a smooth horizontal table. Which of the following quantities will not change during the application of the force?

    • The displacement of the body.

    • The velocity of the body.

    • The acceleration of the body.

    • The kinetic energy of the body.

    Correct Answer
    A. The acceleration of the body.
    Explanation
    The acceleration of the body will not change during the application of the force. This is because acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to an object, according to Newton's second law of motion. As long as the force remains constant, the acceleration will also remain constant. The displacement, velocity, and kinetic energy of the body, on the other hand, will change as the force is applied.

    What does each division on the vernier scale of a vernier calipers represent?

    • 0.01 mm

    • 0.1 mm

    • 0.1 cm

    • 1 cm

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.1 mm
    Explanation
    Each division on the vernier scale of a vernier calipers represents a measurement of 0.1 mm. This means that each small division on the scale corresponds to a difference of 0.1 mm in the measurement being taken. The vernier scale is used to provide a more precise measurement than what can be obtained from the main scale alone, allowing for measurements to be taken to the nearest 0.1 mm.

    The normal force acting on a body is always equal (in magnitude) to its weight. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The normal force acting on a body is not always equal to its weight. The normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. It is always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by the object on the surface. The weight of an object, on the other hand, is the force exerted by gravity on the object and is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the normal force and weight can be equal only when the object is in equilibrium and on a horizontal surface.
