1. A ball pushed across the floor exhibits:

Vibratory motion

Translational motion

Rotational motion

No motion

2. When a force is applied to the handle of a door, the door:

Moves forward

Remains stationary

Rotates about the hinges

Slides backward

3. Rotational motion occurs when:

The body is free to move

The body is hinged, and force is applied at the pivot

The force is applied at the centre of mass

A pivoted body is acted upon by a force away from the axis

4. The turning effect of a force about a point is called:

Linear force

Translational effect

Moment of force

Kinetic energy

5. Moment of force depends on:

Mass and velocity

Acceleration and time

Force and perpendicular distance from pivot

Force and time

6. The formula for moment of a force is:

$F + d$

$F \div d$

$F \times d$

$d - F$

7. The S.I. unit of moment of force is:

newton

joule

newton × metre

dyne × centimetre

8. To get maximum turning effect from a given force, the force should be applied:

Near the pivot

Far from the axis of rotation

At the centre of the body

At the axis itself

9. If the force is applied through the pivot point, the moment of force is:

Maximum

Zero

Infinite

Minimum but not zero

10. If the turning effect of a force on a body is anticlockwise, the moment is considered:

Zero

Negative

Positive

Undefined

11. A clockwise moment is conventionally taken as:

Positive

Negative

Zero

Infinite

12. The direction of an anticlockwise moment is:

Along the axis of rotation inward

Perpendicular to the force

Along the axis of rotation outward

Opposite to the applied force

13. The direction of a clockwise moment is:

Along the axis of rotation outward

Along the axis of rotation inward

Along the line of action of the force

Horizontal to the axis

14. In Figure given below, changing the point of application of force on a disc from A to B changes:

Direction of rotation only

The magnitude of the force only

The moment of inertia

Direction of moment (from anticlockwise to clockwise or vice versa)

15. In Figure given below, when the direction of force applied at the end of the axle is reversed, what changes?

The axis of rotation

The torque becomes zero

The direction of moment (clockwise or anticlockwise)

The force disappears
