1. A constant mass undergoes uniform acceleration when the resultant force acting on it
A is proportional to the displacement from a fixed point. B is proportional to the velocity. C is zero. D is constant but not zero. E increases uniformly with respect to time.
2. Two blocks, X and Y, of masses m and 2m respectively, are accelerated along a smooth horizontal surface by a force F applied to the block X, as shown in the diagram.

What is the magnitude of the force exerted by block Y on block X during this acceleration?
A 0 B F/3 C F/2 D 2F/3 E F
3. The e.m.f. Eb of a battery is given by Eb = P/I where P is the power dissipated when a current I flows. The e.m.f. Ec induced in a coil by a changing magnetic flux is equal to the rate of change of flux, Ec = dΦ/dt. Which of the following is a unit for magnetic flux?

5. A small ball of weight W is suspended by a light thread. When a strong wind blows horizontally exerting a constant force F on the ball, the thread makes an angle θ to the vertical as shown in the diagram.

6. A linear accelerator sends a charged particle along the axis of a set of coaxial hollow metal cylinders as shown in the diagram.
