Question 1

Fill in the blanks by suitable inversion of units.

(a) 10kg m2 S-2 = ¾ g cm2 S-2

(b) 1m = ¾ light year

(c) 3m S-2 = ¾ km/ h-2

(d) G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2(kg)2
          = ¾ (cm)3 S-2 g-1

Question 2

Complete the following

Chose the correct alternative. The SI unit of length is the meter. Suppose we adopt a new unit of length which equals y meters. The area of 1m2 expressed in terms of the new unit has a magnitude.

(a) y (b) 1/y (c) 1/y2 (d) y2

Question 3

Complete the following.
(a) 1 Fermi = ¾
(b) 1 Angstrom (A) = ¾
(c) 1 light year = ¾
(d) 1 parsec = ¾

Question 4

A man wishes to estimate the distance of a nearby tower from him. He stands at a point A in front of the tower C abd spots a very distant object O in line with AC. He then walks perpendicular at AC up to B, a distance of 100m and looks at O and C again. Since O is very distant, the direction BO is practically the same as A; but he find the line of sight of C shifted from the original line of sight by an angle ) = 40°. Estimate the distance of the tower C from his original position ?

Question 5

According to Newton's law of gravitation F = Gm 1 m2 /  r 2 where F is the magnitude of force of attraction between two masses m1 and m2 at a distant ' r ' apart. Derive the unit for the gravitational distant G in terms of the base unit of S.I.

Question 6

Question 8

Read each statement below carefully and state if they are true or false. A particle in one - dimensional motion (a) with zero speed at an instant may have non-zero aueltration at that instant.
