The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 meters per second squared. If a pendulum is whose length is 6.4 meters is placed on the moon, its period will be 12.56 SECONDS


Q-1: The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 meters per second squared. If a pendulum is whose length is 6.4 meters is placed on the moon, its period will be:
1) 1.57 seconds
2) 3.14 seconds
3) 12.56 seconds
4) 25.12 seconds
ANSWER: 3 -- 12.56 SECONDS
Q-2: Of the following, the type of wave that CANNOT be polarized is
1) electromagnetic
2) light
3) sound
4) radio
ANSWER: 3 -- SOUND
Q-3: Pressure is equal to:
1) Area divided by force
2) force divided by area
3) area times force
4) area minus force
ANSWER: 2 -- FORCE DIVIDED BY AREA
Q-4: The radiator of a room contains 10 kilogram of water. If the water gives off 50,000 calories of heat to the room, the drop in temperature of the water is:
1) 1 degree Celsius
2) 2 degrees Celsius
3) 5 degrees Celsius
4) 10 degrees Celsius
ANSWER: 3 -- 5 DEGREES CELSIUS

4) neutrons
ANSWER: 3 -- ELECTRONS
Q-6: As a pendulum swings from its highest to its lowest point, it has the SMALLEST acceleration when it is:
1) at its lowest point
2) at its highest point
3) at a point 1/3 the distance from the top of its swing
4) at a point 1/2 the distance from the top of its swing.
ANSWER: 1 -- AT ITS LOWEST POINT
Q-7:Two cars collide head-on. They stop at the point of collision. Both cars must have one of the following. Do they have
1) equal masses
2) equal but opposite velocities before the collision
3) equal but opposite momenta before the collision
ANSWER: 3 -- EQUAL BUT OPPOSITE MOMENTA BEFORE THE COLLISION
