Which one of the following four statements is false?
(a) A body can have zero velocity and still be accelerated
(b) A body can have constant velocity and still have varying speed.
(c) The direction of the velocity of a body can change when its acceleration is constant
(d) A body can have constant speed and still have varying velocity
Answer
(b) A body can have constant velocity and still have varying speed.
This statement is false. Constant velocity means constant magnitude and direction, so the speed (the magnitude of velocity) must also be constant. The others are true: at the top of a vertical throw but ; projectile motion changes direction under constant acceleration; uniform circular motion has constant speed but varying velocity.

The image of an object formed by a device is always virtual and small. The device may be ……
(a) Convex mirror
(b) Concave mirror
(c) Convex lens
(d) A glass plate
Answer
(a) Convex mirror
A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image for any object position in front of it. A concave mirror and convex lens can form real or magnified images, and a glass plate forms an image of the same size.
