Physics flashcards for UVAS DVM Admission Test
24 of 50 cards from the Physics deck — real questions with worked answers.
What is the difference between a scalar and a vector quantity?
A scalar has only magnitude (e.g. mass, speed, energy), while a vector has both magnitude and direction (e.g. displacement, velocity, force).
Give three examples each of scalar and vector quantities.
Scalars: mass, temperature, energy, speed, time. Vectors: displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum.
How is a vector resolved into rectangular components?
For a vector F at angle θ to the x-axis: Fx = F cosθ and Fy = F sinθ. The vector is split into perpendicular x and y components.
How do you find the magnitude and direction of a vector from its components Fx and Fy?
Magnitude F = √(Fx² + Fy²); direction θ = tan⁻¹(Fy/Fx) measured from the x-axis.
State the head-to-tail (triangle) rule for vector addition.
Place the tail of the second vector at the head of the first; the resultant is the vector drawn from the tail of the first to the head of the last vector.
How is the resultant of two vectors A and B at angle θ found (parallelogram law)?
R = √(A² + B² + 2AB cosθ), with direction tan α = (B sinθ)/(A + B cosθ) relative to A.
What is the resultant of two perpendicular vectors of magnitudes 3 and 4?
R = √(3² + 4²) = √25 = 5 units.
Define torque (moment of a force) and give its formula.
Torque is the turning effect of a force about an axis: τ = r F sinθ = Force × perpendicular distance (moment arm). SI unit: N·m.
State the two conditions for complete equilibrium of a body.
1st condition: net force is zero (ΣF = 0). 2nd condition: net torque is zero (Στ = 0).
What are the three states/types of equilibrium?
Stable (returns to original position), unstable (moves further away when disturbed), and neutral (stays in new position).
State Newton's first law of motion.
A body remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a net external force (law of inertia).
State Newton's second law of motion and its equation.
The rate of change of momentum is proportional to the applied force and in its direction: F = ma (or F = Δp/Δt).
State Newton's third law of motion.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction; the two forces act on different bodies.
Define inertia.
Inertia is the property of a body to resist any change in its state of rest or uniform motion; it is measured by the body's mass.
Write the three equations of motion for uniform acceleration.
vf = vi + at; S = vi t + ½ a t²; vf² = vi² + 2aS.
What is the acceleration and velocity-time relationship for a freely falling body?
Acceleration = g (≈ 9.8 m/s² downward). v = gt, h = ½gt², and v² = 2gh, taking initial velocity zero.
Define projectile motion.
Two-dimensional motion of a body under gravity alone, having a constant horizontal velocity and a uniformly accelerated vertical motion.
For a projectile launched at velocity v and angle θ, what are the horizontal and vertical velocity components?
Horizontal: vx = v cosθ (constant). Vertical: vy = v sinθ − gt (changes with time).
Write the formula for the time of flight of a projectile launched at angle θ with speed v.
T = (2v sinθ)/g.
Write the formula for the maximum height of a projectile.
H = (v² sin²θ)/(2g).
Write the formula for the horizontal range of a projectile.
R = (v² sin2θ)/g.
At what launch angle is the horizontal range of a projectile maximum, and what is that range?
At θ = 45°, range is maximum and equals v²/g (since sin90° = 1).
What is the shape of a projectile's trajectory and the velocity direction at maximum height?
The trajectory is a parabola; at maximum height the vertical velocity is zero, so velocity is purely horizontal (v cosθ).
Define linear momentum and give its formula and unit.
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity: p = mv. It is a vector; SI unit is kg·m/s (or N·s).
Planning Physics for UVAS DVM Admission Test
Physics is about 27% of the UVAS DVM Admission Test syllabus by topic count — 43 of 159 topics, spread over 13 chapters. At roughly 45 minutes per topic plus 12 minutes per sub-topic, a first pass runs to about 30 hours.
The heaviest chapters are Force and Motion (4 topics), Work, Energy and Power (4 topics), Waves (4 topics) . Front-load those while your energy is high; the short chapters are better revision filler later.
Work top-down: read the chapter, then tick topics off individually rather than marking the whole chapter done. Sub-topics are where silent gaps hide.
