Laws of Motion Multiple Choice Questions

5.1 A ball is travelling with uniform translatory motion. This means that

(a) It is at rest.

(b) The path can be a straight line or circular and the ball travels with uniform speed.

(c) All parts of the ball have the same velocity (magnitude and direction) and the velocity is constant.

(d) The centre of the ball moves with constant velocity and the ball spins about its centre uniformly.

Answer- c

Explanation- in a uniform translatory motion , all parts of the ball have the same velocity in magnitude and direction and this velocity is constant . in this situation body A will be in translatory motion.

5.2 A metre scale is moving with uniform velocity. This implies

(a) The force acting on the scale is zero, but a torque about the centre of mass can act on the scale.

(b) The force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about centre of mass of the scale is also zero.

(c) The total force acting on it need not be zero but the torque on it is zero.

(d) Neither the force nor the torque need to be zero.

Answer-b

Explanation- to solve this question we have to apply newton’s law of motion , in terms of force and change in momentum.

as we know F= dp/dt

As body moving uniform velocity so dp= 0

So F=0

As all part of scale is moving with uniform velocity and total force is zero . hence torque will also be zero.

A: 

This is a Multiple Choice  type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- c

Explanation- given u= (3? +4? )m/s

And v= - (3? +4? )m/s, and mass of ball is 150g=0.15kg

Change in momentum = final momentum – initial momentum

 = mv-mu

= m (v-u) = 0.15 [- (3? +4? )- (3? +4? )]

= - [0.15 × 6 i + 0.15 × 8 j ]

= - [0.9? +1.2? ]

? P =- [0.9? +1.2? ]

Q:  

In the previous problem (5.3), the magnitude of the momentum transferred during the hit is

(a) Zero               (b) 0.75 kg m s-1                    (c) 1.5 kg m s-1               (d) 14 kg m s-1

A: 

This is a Multiple Choice Questions type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- d

Explanation-we know that for a system Fext=dp/dt

If Fext=0, dp =0,

P = constant

Hence, momentum of a system will remain conserve if external force on the system is zero.

In case of collision between particles, equal and opposite forces will act on individual particles by newton's third law.

according to newton's 2nd law F=dp/dt

If F =0 then p = constant so momentum remains constant if external force is zero.

A: 

This is a Multiple Choice Questions type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- c

Explanation –consider the adjacent diagram

 OA= p1= initial momentum of player northward

AB= p2= final momentum of player towards west

OB= OA+AB

Change in momentum = P2-P1= AB-OA so we can say that AR will be along south west.

Q:  

A body of mass 2kg travels according to the law x(t)= pt+qt2+rt3 where p=3m/s ,q =4m/s and r= 5m/s . The force acting on the body at t = 2 seconds is

(a) 136 N

(b) 134 N

(c) 158 N

(d) 68 N

Read more
A: 

This is a Multiple Choice Questions type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- a

Explanation- x (t)= pt+qt2+rt3

V= dx/dt=p+2qt+3rt2

So a= o+2q+6rt

At t=2s a= 2q+6 * 2 (r)

= 2q+12r

= 2 (4)+12 (5)=68m/s

So F =ma= 2 (68)= 136N

Q:  

A body with mass 5 kg is acted upon by a force F= (–3ȋ + 4ĵ)N. If its initial velocity at t = 0 is v=(6ȋ-12ĵ) m/s , the time at which it will just have a velocity along the y-axis is

(a) Never

(b) 10 s

(c) 2 s

(d) 15 s

Read more
A: 

This is a Multiple Choice Questions type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- b

Explanation-  we know that m= 5 kg

F= (–3? + 4? ) N and

initial velocity v= (6? -12? ) m/s

So retardation a= F m  = ( - 3 ? 5 + 4 ? 5 ) m/s2

We know v=u+at, for X-component only ,0 = 6? - 3 ? 5 t

So t= 5 × 6 3 = 10s

Q:  

A car of mass m starts from rest and acquires a velocity along east v = vȋ (v>0) in two seconds. Assuming the car moves with uniform acceleration, the force exerted on the car is

(a) mv/2 eastward and is exerted by the car engine.

(b) mv/2  eastward and is due to the friction on the tyres exerted by the road.

(c) more than mv/2 eastward exerted due to the engine and overcomes the friction of the road.

(d) mv/2 exerted by the engine .

A: 

This is a Multiple Choice Questions type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- b

Explanation – mass of car m =0

Initial velocity =0,

velocity at east direction = v?

Time =2s

So v=u+at,

v? =0+a (2)

so a =v/2?

F=ma = m v 2 ?  so force = mv/2 towards east.

Q:

(a) The force at t = (1/8) s on the particle is –16π2 A m.

(b) The particle is acted upon by on impulse of magnitude 4π2 A m at t = 0 s and t = (1/4) s.

(c) The particle is not acted upon by any force.

(d) The particle is not acted upon by a constant force.

(e) There is no impulse acting on the particle.

Answer- a, b, d

Explanation – x=0 for t<0s

X (t)=Asin4 π t  for 0

X=0, for t>1/4s

For,0 π t

Acceleration will be, a= dv/dt=-16 π 2 Asin4 π t

At t= 1/8 s, a (t)=-16 π 2 Asin4 π 1 8 =-16 π 2 A

So force F =ma =-16 π 2 Am

Impulse = change in linear momentum = f (t)= -16 π 2 Am (1/4)

Impulse = change in linear momentum

=F × t =-16 π 2 A m × 1 4 = - 4 π 2 A m

= -4 π 2 Am so clearly force depends upon a so force is also not constant .

The impulse (change in linear momentum)

At t=0 is same as t=1/4s

Clearly, force depends upon A which is not constant. Hence, force is also not constant.

Q:

A: 

This is a Multiple Choice Questions type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- a, b, d, e

Explanation- suppose A and B are moving together acommon= F - f 1 m A + m B = 2 F - t 1 3 m

Pseudo force = mA (acommon)m2* 2F-t13m = F-t13

Force will be maximum when pseudo force and frictional force are equal to one another

F m a x - f 1 3 = ? m A g

= 0.2 * m 2 * g = 0.1 m g

Fmax= 0.3mg+f1

= 0.3mg+0.1 (3/2)mg= 0.45mg

(a) for F=0.25mgmax bodies will move together

(b) for F=0.5mg>Fmax body A will slip with respect to B

(c) for F=0.5mg>Fmax bodies will slip

A: 

This is a Multiple Choice Questions type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- b, d

Explanation – as we know f = μ N = μ m 1 g c o s θ

For system m1+m2 to move up

So m2g- (m1gsin θ + f )>0

So m2g- (m1gsin θ + μ m 1 g c o s θ )>0

So m2>m1 (sin θ + μ c o s θ )

But if bodies moves downward

m1gsin θ - f > m 2g

m1gsin> θ + μ m 1 g c o s θ m2g

m21 (sinθ - uCosθ)

Q:

A is connected by a light string passing over a frictionless pulley to another body B, also of mass m, sliding on a frictionless plane inclined at angle θ2 to the horizontal. Which of the following statements are true?

(a) A will never move up the plane.

(b) A will just start moving up the plane when µ= s i n θ 2 - s i n θ 1 c o s θ 1  .

(c) For A to move up the plane, θ2 must always be greater than θ1 .

(d) B will always slide down with constant speed.

A: 

This is a Multiple Choice Questions type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- b, c

Explanation- when A starts moving up

Mgsin θ 1 + f = m g s i n θ 2

mgsin θ1 + μmgcosθ1 = mgsinθ2

μ=sinθ2-sinθ1cosθ1

When A moves downward f= mgsinθ2- mgsin θ1 so clearly θ2>θ1

(a) The impulse imparted to each ball is 0.25 kg m s-1 and the force on each ball is 250 N.

(b) The impulse imparted to each ball is 0.25 kg m s–1 and the force exerted on each ball is 25 × 10-5 N.

(c) The impulse imparted to each ball is 0.5 Ns.

(d) The impulse and the force on each ball are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

A: 

This is a Multiple Choice Questions type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- c, d

Explanation – m1=m2 = 50g= 1/20kg

Initial velocity u1=u2= 5m/s

Final velocity v1=v2= -5m/s

Time duration = 10-3s

Change in linear 1momentum = m (v-u)= 1/20 (-5-5)=-0.5N-s

Force = impulse /time=0.5/10-3= 500N

So impulse and force are opposite in directions.

a=f/m= 10/10= 1m/s2

let θ 1 be the angle between R and F1

tan θ 1=8/6=4/3

θ 1= tan θ 1 (4/3) w.r.t F1=6N

let θ 2 be the angle between F and F2

tan θ 1=8/6=4/3

θ 2= tan θ 2 (4/3) w.r.t F2=8N

Laws of Motion Long Answer Type Questions

5.1 There are three forces F1, F2 and F3 acting on a body, all acting on a point P on the body. The body is found to move with uniform speed.

(a) Show that the forces are coplanar.

(b) Show that the torque acting on the body about any point due to these three forces is zero.

Explanation – as body moving with uniform acceleration a=0

The sum of forces is zero F1+F2+F3=0

a)let F1,F2,F3 be the three forces passing through the point . let F1and F2 be in the plane A

so F3 =-(F1+F2) so F3 is also in plane A.

b)consider the torque of the forces about P . since all the forces pass through P the torque is zero

torque = OP(F1+F2+F3)

since F1+F2+F3=0 so torque =0

5.2 When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of 45° with the horizontal, it takes time T. When the same body slides down from rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it is seen to take time pT, where p is some number greater than 1. Calculate the co-efficient of friction between the body and the rough plane.

Explanation- as angle is 45

On smooth inclined plane acceleration will be a = gsin θ

So acceleration will become a= g/ 2

Using equation of motion s =ut +1/2at2

S= 1 2 g 2 T 2

On rough inclined plane a = g(sin θ - μ c o s θ )

= g(sin 45 - μ c o s 45 )= g ( 1 - μ ) 2

So s=ut +1/2at2

S= 0+ 1 2 g 1 - μ 2 ( p T ) 2

Comparing two above distance

1 2 g 1 - μ 2 ( p T ) 2= 1 2 g 2 T 2

So after solving we get  μ = ( 1 - 1 / p 2 )
