A 6kg block slides down a frictionless incline from 10m height. What is its speed at the bottom? (Take g\=10m/s2)

Potential energy mgh=6×10×10=600J. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 600 J. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option A is scientifically correct.

In motion with constant acceleration in a plane, how are the x- and y-components of the motion related?

For motion with constant acceleration in a plane, the x- and y-components are independent of each other. The motion can be treated as two separate one-dimensional motions along perpendicular directions, with each component governed by its own constant acceleration. As per NCERT Class 11 Chapter 2, dimensional analysis checks correctness and SI units define base and derived quantities. This principle confirms that They are independent is correct because its dimensions and unit match the physical quantity asked.
