Level 2

1. Distance can never be _________ for a moving body?

a. Negative
b. Positive
c. Zero
d. Zero and negative
i. D (if a body is moving then speed*(time of motion) is never
0 or negative)
2. If we get a curve line in displacement-time graph then velocity is
a. Uniform
b. Non uniform
c. Increasing
d. Decreasing
i. B (curved line means slope is varying which is to say d/t =
velocity is non uniform)
3. Velocity time graph has area equal to 20. What is the displacement of the
body?
a. 20
b. 20/2
c. 20/4
d. 40
i. A (the area under velocity time curve is equal to the
displacement of the body)
4. A body can be at rest and motion at the same time?
a. Yes
b. No
c. Maybe
d. Insufficient information
i. D (a body may be on rest with respect to one reference
frame but that frame itself can be moving )
5. Acceleration of a body is 8m/s^2. Calculate the distance travelled by it in
20 sec?
a. 800 m
b. 400 m
c. 1600 m
d. 3200 m
i. C (distance = (u + at/2)t = 8*400/2 = 1600, u is 0)
6. Average speed is always less than or equal to average velocity?
a. Yes
b. No
c. Maybe
d. Insufficient information
i. B (Vavg = total displacement/time, Savg = total
distance/time, but total distance of a path is always greater
than total displacement therefor Savg>=Vavg)
7. When a body moves with constant speed then average velocity is?
a. Equal to avg speed.
b. Less than avg speed.
c. Greater than avg speed.
d. Insufficient information
i. A (distance travelled is equal to displacement of the body)
8. What quantity can be analysed by slope of speed-time curve
a. Velocity

b. Distance
c. Acceleration
d. Force
i. C (m/sec /sec = m/sec^2 = SI units of acceleration )
9. Which of the following can be zero for a body moving in circular motion?
a. Distance
b. Velocity
c. Displacement
d. Acceleration
i. C (after completing each round, displacement goes to 0m)
10.Distance is?
a. Scalar
b. Vector
c. Tensor
d. None
i. A (it has no direction)
11.Which force is responsible for moving the object in circular motion?
a. Gravitational
b. Centripetal
c. Nuclear
d. Magnetic
i. B (centripetal force acts towards centre of the circular path)
12.An object moving in opposite direction of gravity performs
a. Accelerated motion
b. Constant velocity motion
c. Oscillatory motion
d. Retarded motion
i. D (as the force of gravity is against the direction of motion,
therefore, the motion is retarded)
13.Where is the longest railway platform in India?
a. Chennai
b. Delhi
c. Kharagpur
d. Assam
i. C
14.Name the first Indian who got Oscar award
a. A.R Rehman
b. Amir khan
c. Bhanu Aditya
d. Dilip kumar
i. C
15.Ram is sixth in a queue from either end. How many people are there in the
queue?
a. 13
b. 12
c. 11
d. 10
i. C -(he has 5 people before him on either side therefore total
= 5 + 5 + 1= 11)
16.In which units the processing speed in a computer measured ?
a. Bits
b. Bytes
c. Hertz

d. Seconds
i. C (it is the measure of clock processor)
17.A bag contains 3 red balls, 5 black and 4 white balls. A ball is drawn from
the bag. What is the probability of not getting a black ball
a. 1/4
b. 5/12
c. 1/3
d. 7/12
i. D (probability of not an event = 1- probability of event)
18.Which of the following is a true statement ?
a. The ordinate is positive to the right of the origin
b. The ordinate is positive to the left of the origin
c. The ordinate is negative below x axis
d. The ordinate is positive below x axis
i. C (ordinate is the magnitude of y coordinate which is
negative below x axis )
19.The mass of a body is M on the earths surface. What is the mass of the
same body on moons surface?
a. M
b. M/6
c. M/2
d. Zero
i. A (mass of a body remains constant only weight changes
with gravity change)
20.In which of the following is the centrifugation method employed ?
a. Oil, dairy and sugar industries
b. Textile industries
c. Nuclear plant
d. Rubber industry
i. A (oil and dairy products are separated using centrifugation
process)
