  3. Flywheel is an important part of a steam engine because it :

  4. A.

     Accelerates the speed of the engine

    B.

     Helps the engine in keeping the speed uniform

    C.

     Decreases the moment of inertia

    D.

     Gives strength to the engine


  5. The following particles move with same kinetic energy. Which of them has maximum momentum ?

  7. Should cars have bumpers that collapse under impact?

  8. A.

     Yes, since the offending car should get damaged and pay for the mistake

    B.

     No, since it would be very expensive to get the car repaired

    C.

     No, since the colliding car would then ram into the occupants and kill them

    D.

     Yes, since they help to absorb the impact of a collision and keep the occupants safe
