1. In which case does the potential energy decrease
a) On compressing a spring
b) On stretching a spring
c) On moving a body against gravitational force
d) On the rising of an air bubble in water
Explanation: In compression or extension of a spring work is done against restoring force. In moving a body against gravity work is done against gravitational force of attraction. It means in all three cases potential energy of the system increases. But when the bubble rises in the direction of upthrust force then system works so the potential energy of the system decreases.
2. Two bodies of masses m and 2m have same momentum. Their respective kinetic energies \[E_{1}\] and \[E_{2}\] are in the ratio

d) 1 : 4
Explanation:
3.If a lighter body (mass \[M_{1}\] and velocity \[V_{1}\] ) and a heavier body (mass \[M_{2}\] and velocity \[V_{2}\] ) have the same kinetic energy, then
a) \[M_{2}V_{2}< M_{1}V_{1}\]
b) \[M_{2}V_{2}= M_{1}V_{1}\]
c) \[M_{2}V_{1}= M_{1}V_{2}\]
d) \[M_{2}V_{2}>M_{1}V_{1}\]
Explanation:
4. If the kinetic energy of a body becomes four times of its initial value, then new momentum will
a) Becomes twice its initial value
