What is the SI unit of force?

  1. Newton
  2. Joule
  3. Watt
  4. Pascal
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Newton

1. Force is defined as a push or pull that changes the state of motion of a body. 2. From Newton's second law, F = m·a, so its unit is kg·m/s². 3. This combined unit is given the name Newton (N) in the SI system. _Source: Selina Concise Physics ICSE Class 10, Ch 1 'Force' (icsehelp.com chapter extract)_

Which kind of motion happens when a fan blade rotates about its axis?

  1. Translational motion
  2. Rotational motion
  3. Vibrational motion
  4. Random motion
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Rotational motion

1. Translational motion means every point of the body moves in a straight line. 2. Rotational motion means different points trace circular paths around a fixed axis. 3. A fan blade spins about its central axis, so each point moves in a circle around that axis. 4. Hence the motion is rotational. _Source: Selina Concise Physics ICSE Class 10, Ch 1 'Force' (icsehelp.com chapter extract)_
