MCQ
Check up the only correct statement in the following :-
  • A
    A body has a constant velocity and still it can have a varying speed.
  • A body has a constant speed but it can have a varying velocity.
  • C
    A body having constant speed cannot have any acceleration.
  • D
    A body in motion under a force acting upon it must always have work done upon it.

Answer

Correct option: B.
A body has a constant speed but it can have a varying velocity.
b
When a body possesses constant velocity, both its magnitude (i.e., seed) and direction must remain constant. On the other hand, if the speed of a body is constant, then its velocity may or may not remain constant. For example, in uniform circular motion, through the speed of a body remains constant, velocity changes from point to point due to a change in direction. A body moving with a constant speed along a circular path constantly experiences a centripetal acceleration.

A thin convex lens is made of two materials with refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$, as shown in figure. The radius of curvature of the left and right spherical surfaces are equal. $f$ is the focal length of the lens when $n_1=n_2=n$. The focal length is $f+\Delta f$ when $n_1=n$ and $n_2=n+\Delta n$. Assuming $\Delta n \ll$ (n-1) and $1< n <2$, the correct statement(s) is/are :

$(1)$ The relation between $\frac{\Delta f}{f}$ and $\frac{\Delta n}{n}$ remains unchanged if both the convex surfaces are replaced by concave surfaces of the same radius of curvature.

$(2)$ $\left|\frac{\Delta f }{ f }\right|<\left|\frac{\Delta n }{ n }\right|$
