1. An example of an inertial reference frame is:
A) any reference frame that is not accelerating
B) a frame attached to a particle on which there are no forces
A system that moves at a constant speed without external force or rotational motion is said to
be in an inertial frame. Because the earth rotates about its axis and revolves around the sun with
some acceleration, it is not an inertial frame of reference. Thus any frame with no acceleration
resulting in no force is the reference frame. So, option B is correct.
C) any reference frame that is at rest
D) a reference frame attached to the center of the universe
E) a reference frame attached to the Earth

Ans: B
Difficulty: E
2. An object moving at constant velocity in an inertial frame must:
A) have a net force on it
B) eventually stop due to gravity
C) not have any force of gravity acting on it
D) have zero net force acting on it

E) have no frictional force acting on it

Ans: D
Difficulty: E
3. In SI units a force is numerically equal to the ______, when the force is applied to it.
A) velocity of the standard kilogram
B) speed of the standard kilogram
C) velocity of any object
D) acceleration of the standard kilogram
Force  F = ma
Si unit of force is Kgf. In SI unit a force is numerically equal to the acceleration of standard kg, when the
force is multiplied to it.

E) acceleration of any object

Ans: D
Difficulty: E
4. Which of the following quantities is NOT a vector?
A) Mass
The mass is a scalar quantity which does not have a direction. Displacement, weight and acceleration
are vector quantities.

B) Displacement
C) Weight
D) Acceleration
E) Force

Ans: A
Difficulty: E
5. A newton is the force:
A) of gravity on a 1 kg body
B) of gravity on a 1 g body
C) that gives a l g body an acceleration of 1 cm/s2
D) that gives a 1 kg body an acceleration of 1 m/s2
Newton is the fundamental unit of force in the International System of Units, which is the S.I.
unit of force. It is described as the amount of force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass by
one meter per second with an acceleration of 1 m/s^2. Hence option D is correct.
E) that gives a 1 kg body an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2

Ans: D
Difficulty: E
6. Mass differs from weight in that:
A) all objects have weight but some lack mass
B) weight is a force and mass is not
Solution - Every object that has weight has mass. Therefore option A is incorrect. Weight is
the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. Thus, in general, the mass of an object is
always less than its weight. And, like other physical qualities, mass can be represented in any
system. Therefore options C, D, and E are also incorrect. On the other hand, mass is not a force
but weight is a force and represented in the unit of Newton generally. Therefore, option B is
correct.
C) the mass of an object is always more than its weight
D) mass can only be expressed in the metric system
E) there is no difference

Ans: B
Difficulty: E
7. The mass of a body:
A) is slightly different at different places on the Earth
B) is a vector
C) is independent of the acceleration due to gravity
Solution - The mass of the body is constant and does not change with the position or place on
Earth. Also, the vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. And since the mass
has no direction, it is a scaler quantity and not a vector. Different bodies of different densities
can same mass but a different volume and vice versa. And, the spring scale is dependent upon
the gravitational pull and thus its value will vary if measured at different points of the universe.
Thus, options A, B, D, and E are incorrect. On the other hand, the mass is always independent of
free-fall acceleration. Therefore, out of all the given choices, option C defines the mass most
accurately.
D) is the same for all bodies of the same volume
E) can be measured most accurately on a spring scale

Ans: C
Difficulty: E
8. The mass and weight of a body:
A) differ by a factor of 9.8
B) are identical
C) are the same physical quantities expressed in different units
D) are both a direct measure of the inertia of the body
E) have the same ratio as that of any other body placed at that location
Solution - The mass multiplied by the gravitational acceleration is known as weight. In the
case of Earth, the value of gravitational acceleration is 9.8 meters per second square so option A
might be correct in some cases but to consider this as a general case would be disastrous because
the value of gravitational acceleration is different at different locations. Thus, options A, B, C,
and D are incorrect. Now, the ratio of weight and mass will give the value of gravitational
acceleration at that point. And, unless the locations are far away, the value of gravitational
accelerations is generally equivalent for a considerable amount of area in a location. Therefore,
option E is correct.

Ans: E
Difficulty: E
9. Acceleration is always in the direction:
A) of the displacement
B) of the initial velocity
C) of the final velocity
D) of the net force
 Force is calculated by taking the product of mass and acceleration. As mass is a scalar
quantity and the direction of force and acceleration would be the same under Newton's second
rule of motion. Hence option d is correct.
E) opposite to the frictional force

Ans: D
Difficulty: E
10. The block shown moves with constant velocity on a horizontal surface. Two of the forces on
it are shown. A frictional force exerted by the surface is the only other horizontal force on the
block. The frictional force is:

A) 0
B) 2 N, leftward
The block moves with constant velocity on horizontal surface, this indicates the acceleration of
block is zero,. From newton's IInd law of motion net external force should be zero in case of zero
acceleration.
Fnet = 0
Taking right direction as positive force direction
5 N + f N+ (-3) N=0 => f= -2 N where f is frictional force.
the frictional force value is 2N in leftward direction, hence correct answer is B.

C) 2 N, rightward
D) slightly more than 2 N, leftward
E) slightly less than 2 N, leftward

Ans: B
Difficulty: E
