    The angular velocity of the engine (and hence of the wheel) of a scooter is proportional to the petrol input per second. The scooter is moving on a frictionless road with uniform velocity. If the petrol input is increased by 10%, the linear velocity of the scooter is increased by
    (a) 50%
    (b) 10%
    (c) 20%
    (d) 0%.
    digAnsr:   d
    Ans : (d) 0%.
    On a frictionless road, we have:
    Angular velocity of the engine = 0
    Therefore, increase in petrol input will not affect the angular velocity and hence the linear velocity of the scooter will remain the same.
