1. A point object is moving on the principal axis of a concave mirror of focal length 24 cm towards the
mirror. When it is at a distance of 60 cm from the mirror, its velocity is 9 cm/sec. What is the velocity of
the image at that instant
1) 5 cm /sec 2) 12 cm/sec 3) 4 cm/ sec 4) 9 cm / sec
2. A car is moving with a uniform velocity on a rough horizontal road. Therefore, according to Newton’s
first law of motion
1) No force is being applied by its engine 2) A force is surely being applied by tis engine
3) An acceleration is being produced in the car 4) The kinetic energy in the car is increasing
3. Two vessels A and B of different shapes have the same base area and are filled with water upto the
height ‘h’. The force exerted by water on the base is FA for vessel A and FB for vessel B. The respective
weights of water in the vessels are WA and WB. Then

1) FA > FB ; WA > BB 2) FA = FB ; WA > WB 3) FA = FB ; WA < WB 4) FA > FB ; WA = WB

4. The iron ball shown is being swung in a vertical circle at the end of a 0.7m long string. How slowly can
the ball to through its top position without having the string go slack ?

1) 1.3 m/s 2) 2.6 m/s 3) 3.9 m/s 4) 6.9 m/s
