NEET Practice: Physics 4

1. A force of 10 N acts on a body of mass 2 kg for 5 seconds. The change in momentum is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) 50 kg m/s

Explanation:
Impulse = F × t = 10 × 5 = 50 kg m/s = change in momentum
2. The kinetic energy of a body is increased by 300%. The percentage increase in momentum is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (b) 100%

Explanation:
KE ∝ v², p ∝ v → if KE becomes 4 times, v becomes 2 times → momentum doubles (100% increase)
3. The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is doubled by doubling:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (a) Area of plates

Explanation:
C = ε₀A/d → C doubles when A doubles
4. The frequency of fundamental mode of vibration of a string is 200 Hz. The frequency of second overtone is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) 600 Hz

Explanation:
Second overtone is 3rd harmonic → 3 × 200 = 600 Hz
5. A body is dropped from a height h. The time taken to reach the ground is t. The time taken to fall through the last half of the distance is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (b) t(√2 - 1)

Explanation:
Time to fall h/2 = t/√2. Remaining time = t - t/√2 = t(1 - 1/√2) = t(√2 - 1)
6. The angle of minimum deviation for a prism of refractive index √3 is 60°. The angle of prism is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) 60°

Explanation:
δ_min = (μ - 1)A → 60° = (√3 - 1)A → A = 60°
7. In Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is β. If the distance between slits and screen is doubled, the new fringe width is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) 2β

Explanation:
β = λD/d → D doubled → β doubled
8. The decay constant of a radioactive substance is λ. Its half-life is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (a) ln2 / λ

Explanation:
T_{1/2} = 0.693 / λ = ln2 / λ
9. The work done in stretching a spring by x is W. The work done in stretching it by 2x is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) 4W

Explanation:
W = (1/2)kx ² → for 2x, work = (1/2)k(2x)² = 4W
10. The direction of induced current is given by:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (b) Fleming’s right hand rule

Explanation:
Fleming’s right hand rule is used for direction of induced current (generator rule)
