Which law relates force, mass, and acceleration?

  • A Newton's First Law
  • B Newton's Second Law
  • C Newton's Third Law
  • D Law of Gravitation
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Newton's Second Law
Explanation: Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration, describing how the net force applied to an object determines its rate of acceleration, with heavier objects requiring more force for equal acceleration.

What is the term for the force that opposes relative motion between surfaces in contact?

  • A Gravity
  • B Tension
  • C Friction
  • D Normal force
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Friction
Explanation: Friction is a resistive force that opposes relative motion between two surfaces in contact. It depends on the nature of the surfaces and the normal force pressing them together, and can be reduced using lubricants.

A diode allows current to flow in:

  • A A direction determined by voltage frequency
  • B Neither direction
  • C Both directions equally
  • D Only one direction
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Only one direction
Explanation: A diode is a semiconductor device designed to allow electric current to flow easily in only one direction while blocking flow in the reverse direction, making it useful for rectification.

Weight of a body is the force of gravity acting on its:

  • A Volume
  • B Area
  • C Density
  • D Mass
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Mass
Explanation: Weight is the gravitational force exerted on the mass of an object by a nearby celestial body such as Earth, calculated as mass multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration, and it varies with location.
