Questions and Answers

What is the value of the gravitational constant (G) in the provided scenario?

  • 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm2/kg2 (correct)
  • 75
  • 4.002 x 10^-7 N
  • 5.34 x 10^-9 m/s2
  • According to Newton’s first equation of motion, what is the formula to calculate velocity (v)?

  • v = u/t + a
  • v = u x a
  • v = u + at (correct)
  • v = a/t
  • If Mahendra starts with an initial velocity of zero and experiences an acceleration of 5.34 x 10^-9 m/s2, what will be his velocity after 1 second?

  • 75
  • 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm2/kg2
  • 5.34 x 10^-9 m/s (correct)
  • 4.002 x 10^-7 N
