Angular Displacement
1. In a spectrometer, the circular scale, graduated by half a degree, is attached with:
- A. Telescope
- B. Turntable
- C. Cross wire of telescope
- D. None of these options are correct
View answer and explanation
Answer: B. Turntable
In a spectrometer the circular scale is attached to the turntable (the prism table), so it rotates together with the prism or grating whose angle is being measured. The telescope carries the cross-wire used for sighting, not the scale, so the turntable is the correct attachment.
Angular Relations
2. In a record turntable, a point at radius has linear speed s⁻¹. What is the angular speed?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
View answer and explanation
Answer: B.
Angular Relations
3. The critical speed at the top of a vertical loop for a mass to complete the loop is:
- A. gR
- B.
- C.
- D.
View answer and explanation
Answer: B.
At the top, the minimum centripetal force is provided by gravity alone (tension So, , which gives

Common questions about Rotational and Circular Motion practice
How many Rotational and Circular Motion MCQs are available on DIFF. MDCAT?
The current Rotational and Circular Motion question bank contains 694 practice MCQs across 4 topics. This is the bank size, not the length of one test. Choose your topics and a question count from 1 to 180, limited by the questions available in those topics.
Which topics does the Rotational and Circular Motion quiz cover?
The selectable topics are Angular Displacement, Angular Velocity, Angular Relations, Torque. Use Select all for a broad chapter drill, Clear to start a focused selection, or choose individual topics. Questions are drawn from your chosen topics, so you can target a weak concept before returning to a wider test.
How do I build a custom Rotational and Circular Motion test?
Open the chapter builder, select one or more topics, enter your question count, and choose Tutor Mode or Timed Exam. The available-question total updates with your selection. Start Test generates a shuffled drill; you do not have to follow a fixed Quiz 1 or Quiz 2 sequence.

How should I use Rotational and Circular Motion MCQs to improve?
Start with a short tutor drill on one of these topics: Angular Displacement, Angular Velocity, Angular Relations. Read the explanation for incorrect and uncertain answers, revise the relevant textbook section, and retry before taking a timed drill. Compare your reasoning with the answer key rather than memorising the option letter.
