For a body moving with relativistic speed, if the velocity is doubled, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Its linear momentum will be more than double
Option C (Its linear momentum will be more than double) is correct because at relativistic speeds, both velocity and relativistic mass increase when velocity is doubled, leading to a more than double increase in momentum.

A particle starts its motion from rest under the action of a constant force. If the distance covered in first 10 seconds is S1{S_1} and that covered in the first 20 seconds is S2{S_2} , then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
S2=4S1{S_2} = 4{S_1}
Option C (S2=4S1{S_2} = 4{S_1}) is correct because the distance covered under constant acceleration is proportional to the square of the time.

Statement-I: The average velocity of a particle is zero in a time interval. It is possible that the instantaneous acceleration is never zero in the interval.
Statement-II: The magnitude of average velocity in an interval is equal to its average speed in that interval.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement-I is true, statement-II is false
Option B is correct. Statement-I can be true if the object changes direction, resulting in zero average velocity but non-zero instantaneous acceleration. Statement-II is false because average speed and average velocity magnitudes are only equal for unidirectional motion.

Assertion: The displacement-time graph of a body moving with uniform acceleration is a straight line.

Reason: The displacement is proportional to time for uniformly accelerated motion.
View answer and explanation

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
55 kmh−155 \mathrm{~kmh}^{-1}

The relation between acceleration and velocity for a body moving in straight line is a∝v3a \propto v^3. Choose incorrect option. (xx is position and tt is time)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
x∝1v2x \propto \frac{1}{v^2}
The incorrect option is D (x∝1v2x \propto \frac{{1}}{{v^2}}) because the correct relation derived from a∝v3a \propto v^3 is x∝tx \propto \sqrt{{t}} and v∝1tv \propto \frac{{1}}{{\sqrt{{t}}}} which implies x∝v−2x \propto v^{-2} is incorrect.

Analyzing +4 | -1
Assertion: If two particles, moving with constant velocities are to meet, the relative velocity must be along the line joining the two particles.
Reason: Relative velocity means motion of one particle as viewed by the other.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A is correct because the relative velocity must be along the line joining the two particles for them to meet, and relative velocity is indeed the motion of one particle as viewed by the other.
