(C) Its volume
(D) Its shape
4. Newton’s First Law of Motion is also popularly known as the:
[1 Mark]
(A) Law of Conservation of Momentum
(B) Law of Action and Reaction
(C) Law of Gravitation
(D) Law of Inertia
5. When a carpet is beaten with a stick, the dust comes out of it. This phenomenon can be explained by:
[1 Mark]
(A) Newton's Third Law of Motion
(B) Newton's Second Law of Motion
(C) Law of Inertia (Newton's First Law)
(D) Law of Conservation of Energy
6. Momentum is defined as the product of an object's:
[1 Mark]
(A) Mass and acceleration
(B) Mass and velocity
(C) Force and velocity
(D) Mass and displacement
7. What is the SI unit of momentum?
[1 Mark]
(A) kg m/s²
(B) kg m/s
(C) N m
(D) J/s
8. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the:
[1 Mark]
(A) Applied unbalanced force
(B) Mass of the object
(C) Initial velocity of the object
(D) Frictional force
9. The mathematical formulation of Newton's Second Law yields which fundamental equation?
[1 Mark]
(A) F = m / a
(B) F = m + a
(C) F = m a
(D) F = a / m
10. Why does a fast-moving cricket ball cause more injury to a fielder's hand than a tennis ball moving at the same speed?
[1 Mark]
(A) The cricket ball has greater velocity.
(B) The cricket ball has greater mass, resulting in higher momentum to be reduced to zero.
(C) The cricket ball experiences zero friction.
(D) The cricket ball has less inertia.
11. A fielder pulls his hands backward while catching a fast-moving cricket ball. By doing so, what is he fundamentally doing to reduce the impact?
[1 Mark]
(A) Increasing the momentum of the ball.
(B) Decreasing the time taken to stop the ball.
(C) Increasing the time taken for the rate of change of momentum, thus reducing the force exerted.
(D) Increasing the mass of the ball.
12. Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These action and reaction forces:
[1 Mark]
(A) Act on the same body.
(B) Act on two different bodies.
(C) Cancel each other out perfectly so no motion can occur.
(D) Act in the same direction.
13. When a sailor jumps out of a rowing boat forward, the boat moves backwards. This is a classic example demonstrating:
[1 Mark]
(A) Newton's First Law
(B) Newton's Second Law
(C) Newton's Third Law
(D) Law of friction
14. The total momentum of an isolated system of interacting objects remains constant provided no external unbalanced force acts on it. This principle is known as:
[1 Mark]
(A) Law of Conservation of Energy
(B) Law of Conservation of Mass
(C) Law of Conservation of Momentum
(D) Law of Definite Proportions

[1 Mark]
(A) -1.5 m/s
(B) 1.5 m/s
(C) -3.0 m/s
(D) 3.0 m/s
16. Assertion (A): If an object is moving at a constant velocity, the net unbalanced force acting on it must be zero. Reason (R): An unbalanced force is only required to accelerate an object, not to maintain its uniform motion.
[1 Mark]
(A) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(C) A is true, but R is false.
(D) A is false, but R is true.
17. A constant force acts on an object of mass 5 kg for a duration of 2 s. It increases the object's velocity from 3 m/s to 7 m/s. Find the magnitude of the applied force.
[1 Mark]
(A) 5 N
(B) 10 N
(C) 15 N
(D) 20 N
18. Two objects of masses 100 g and 200 g are moving along the same line and direction with velocities of 2 m/s and 1 m/s respectively. They collide, and after the collision, the first object moves at a velocity of 1.67 m/s. What is the velocity of the second object?
[1 Mark]
