Question 6

Indian Coast Guard Navik GD 2025• Section I

What is the unit of Torque?

  1. AOption (a)

    kg/cm2

  2. BOption (b)

    Kg/cm

  3. COption (c)

    Kg-cm

  4. DOption (d)

    gm/cc

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Kg-cm

Why this answer is correct

The unit of torque is determined by multiplying force and distance. While the SI unit is Newton-meters (N·m), in contexts using kilogram-force (kgf), torque can be expressed as kgf·cm. Among the options provided:

  • kg/cm² (pressure/stress)

  • kg/cm (linear measure)

  • kg-cm (force × distance, representing torque)

  • gm/cc (density)

Option 3 (Kg-cm) correctly represents torque as a product of force (kgf) and distance (cm). 

Answer: Option 3) Kg-cm.

Question 7

Indian Coast Guard Navik GD 2025• Section I

An object A with a mass m and velocity v has a kinetic energy of 100 J. Then the kinetic energy of an object B with a mass of 2 m and velocity v is:

  1. AOption (a)

    300 J

  2. BOption (b)

    200 J

  3. COption (c)

    50 J

  4. DOption (d)

    400 J

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

200 J

Why this answer is correct

The Correct answer is 200 J.

Key Points

  • The kinetic energy (K.E.) of an object is given by the formula, \(KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\) where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the object.
  • Given: Object A has a kinetic energy of 100 J with mass m and velocity v.
  • The kinetic energy of object A is calculated as \(KE_A=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=100J\)
  • For object B, the mass is 2m and the velocity remains v.
  • Substitute these values into the kinetic energy formula for object B: \(KE_B=\frac{1}{2}\times2m\times v^2=2KE_A\)
  • Thus, \(KE_B=2\times100=200J\).
  • Therefore, the correct answer is 200 J.

 Additional Information

  • Kinetic Energy
  • Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion.
  • It is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the square of its velocity.
  • The standard unit for measuring kinetic energy is the Joule (J).
  • Mass and Velocity
  • In the given problem, the mass m and velocity v are crucial factors that determine the kinetic energy.
  • Doubling the mass while keeping the velocity constant doubles the kinetic energy.

Question 8

Indian Coast Guard Navik GD 2025• Section I

What is the SI unit for electric flux?

  1. AOption (a)

    N m C-1

  2. BOption (b)

    N C-1 m2

  3. COption (c)

    N-1 m C2

  4. DOption (d)

    None of the above

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

N C-1 m2

Why this answer is correct

CONCEPT:

  • Electric flux (ΦE): The electric flux through a given area held inside an electric field is the measure of the total number of electric lines of force passing normally through that area i.e.,

ΔΦE = EΔS

Where E = Electric field and ΔS = area element

  • It is a scalar quantity.

EXPLANATION:

As electric flux is defined as

ΔΦE = EΔS

As we know that the SI unit of electric filed intensity = NC-1

SI unit of surface area = m2

∴ SI unit of electric flux (ΦE) = NC-1 m2

So option 2 is correct.

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

electric energy

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is "option 3"

Concept:

  • The electron volt is the unit of energy commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics.
  • The amount of energy gained by the charge of a single electron moved across an electric potential difference of 1 volt is called an electron volt.
  • The electron volt equals 1.602 × 10−12 erg, or 1.602 × 10−19 joule.

Important Points

  • Unit of Power is Watt (W):
  • ​ In other terms, we spent one Watt of Power while completing one Joule of Work in one second.
  • 1 Watt = 1 Joule / 1 second.
  • Other units of Power are Kilowatt (kW), Megawatt (MW) and Gigawatt (GW)
  • Unit of electric potential is volt (V)**:**and it can also be written as Joule per Coulomb.
  • Unit of electric Force is newton(N):
  • The electric force is the term for the attracting or repulsive forces that exist between two charges apart.
  • The SI unit of electric force is Newton denoted as N

Question 10

Indian Coast Guard Navik GD 2025• Section I

What is the dimensional formula of the universal gravitational constant?

  1. AOption (a)

    M-1 L3 T-2

  2. BOption (b)

    M-1 L3 T-1

  3. COption (c)

    M-1 L2 T-2

  4. DOption (d)

    M0 L0 T0

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

M-1 L3 T-2

Why this answer is correct

CONCEPT:

Newton's law of Gravitation: It states that everybody in this universe attracts every other body with a force, which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

The direction of the force is along the line joining the particles.

The magnitude of the gravitational force F is given by:

\(F = G\frac{{{M_1}{M_2}}}{{{R^2}}}\)

Where G = universal gravitational constant, M1 = mass of 1st body, M2 = mass of 2nd body and R = distance between the two bodies.

EXPLANATION:

  • The dimensional formula is defined as the expression of the physical quantity in terms of mass, length, time and ampere.

The above equation can be written as,

\(G = \frac{{F \times {R^2}}}{{{M_1}{M_2}}}\)

Now,

Force = mass × acceleration

∴ Dimensional formula of force (F) = [M] × [LT-2] = [MLT-2]

Dimensional formula of radius (R2) = [L2]

Dimensional formula of radius (M) = [M]

Dimensional formula of universal gravitational constant (G)

\(G = \frac{{ML{T^{ - 2}} \times {L^2}}}{{{M^2}}} = \frac{{M{L^3}{T^{ - 2}}}}{{{M^2}}} = {M^{ - 1}}{L^3}{T^{ - 2}}\)

∴ The dimensional formula of universal gravitational constant G is [M-1L3T-2].
