The object having the greatest mass has the greatest inertia. Thus mass is the measure of inertia.

Inertia depends on which two factors:

  1. Height and Weight

  2. Length and Width

  3. Density and Mass

  4. Speed and Velocity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Inertia depends on density and mass. Directly proportional to both of them.

Inertia is __________ .

  1. a property of matter

  2. a type of force

  3. the speed of an object

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Inertia is a property of matter that offers the resistance to any change in its state of motion including changes to its speed and direction or the state of rest.

From the following 3 solids of the same shape and same volume which one has the highest inertia?

  1. Steel

  2. Wood

  3. Aluminium

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Steel has highest mass and highest density which means it has highest inertia.

Fill in the blank: 

Tendency of an object to _____ a change in its state of rest or motion is called inertia

  1. Allow

  2. Assist

  3. Resist

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Due to inertia, objects resist any change in motion. 

Which law is referred to as the law of inertia?

  1. First law of motion

  2. Second law of motion

  3. Third law of motion

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion is referred to as the law of inertia

Inertia means resistance to the change of state.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Inertia is defined as the property by virtue of it, body tends to continue its state of rest or of uniform motion.

So, given statement is true.

While dusting a carpet, we give a sudden jerk or beat with a stick because :

  1. Inertia of rest keeps the dust in its position and the dust is removed by movement of carpet away.

  2. Inertia of motion removes dust.

  3. No inertia involved in process.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When carpet is given sudden jerk, due to inertia dust particles does not change position, while carpet moves.

Thus dust particles gets separated from carpet.
So, Option A is correct. 

When a running horse suddenly stops, the rider falls forwards.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

the statement is true and the reason is Newton's law of inertia or First law of motion. 

As body tends to be in its original state when the horse suddenly stops, the lower part of rider stops with it but upper part remains in motion. So, rider falls forward.

Which of the following has more inertia ___

  1. 5Rp coin and 2Rp coin

  2. 2Rp coin and 3Rp coin

  3. 10Kg iron

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Inertia depends upon the mass of the body. If the mass is more, inertia is more and vice versa. 10kg iron has more mass than 5Rp coin and 2 Rp coin thus its inertia is also more.
So, the correct answer is '10kg iron'.

A water tanker filled up to $\dfrac {2}{3}$rd of its height is moving with a uniform speed. On sudden application of the brake, the water in the tank would

  1. move backward

  2. move forward

  3. be unaffected

  4. rise upwards


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Basically, the law of motion is that an object at rest stays at rest and an object continues in motion until an external force acts on it.
Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion, including changes to its speed and direction. It is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity.


So, on sudden application of brakes on the water tank, the water tank decelerates or may even stop but the water in the tank still has a tendency to move forward due to inertia. Hence the water in the tank would move forward.
A water tanker filled up to two-thirds of its height moving with a uniform speed, on sudden application of the brake, the water in the tank would move forward.

If a train is retarding and at same time coin is thrown upwards, then you will observe that:

  1. the coin reaches again in your hand

  2. the coin falls behind you

  3. the coin falls in front of you

  4. the coin follows a circular path


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

At t$=$0
Velocity of train$=$v
Velocity of coin$=$v(horizontal velocity in the direction of velocity of train)
at t$=$t
Velocity of train$=$v-$\Delta$ v
Velocity of coin$=$v
Distance travelled by train after retarding$=$(v-$\Delta$v)t
Distance travelled by coin$=$v$\times$t   which is greater than distance travelled by train.
So,the coin will fall infront of you.


A football has lesser inertia than a stone of the same size because:

  1. Football has more air inside than the stone.

  2. Football has less air inside than the stone.

  3. Football has less mass than the stone.

  4. Football has more mass than the stone.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Inertia is the property of mass. Mass of stone $>$ mass of football.

When a tree with a flexible stem is shaken vigorously,its fruits and leaves fall  own.This phenomenon can be explained by making use of

  1. Newton's first law of motion

  2. Newton's second law of motion

  3. Newton's third law of motion

  4. Law of conservation of momentum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 

There are three types of inertia:
1. Inertia of rest: This is the resistance offered by the body to remain in rest unless an external force is not applied on the body. Eg. : If a carpet is beaten with a stick then the dust particles due to inertia of rest tends to remain in rest while the fibres of carpet becomes in motion.


2. Inertia of direction: This is the resistance offered by the body to change its direction unless an ext. force is not applied on the body. Eg : If a bus takes a turn then passengers sitting in tends to remain in the same direction in which the bus was travelling before.


3. Inertia of motion: The resistance offered by the body to change its uniform motion. Eg : If a bus stops suddenly then the passengers fall forward due to inertia of motion

So when we shake a tree, due to inertia of motion the fruit tries to remain in motion. Due to which it gets detached from the branch and falls.

A and B are two objects with mass 6 kg and 34 kg respectively. Then

  1. A has more inertia than B

  2. B has more inertia than A

  3. A and B both have same inertia

  4. none of the above is true


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Inertia has direct dependence on $mass$. More is the mass of the body, more is the inertia.

Since, B has more mass, thus B has more inertia than A. 

P and Q are two objects with masses 5 kg and 30 kg respectively. Then

  1. P has more inertia than Q

  2. Q has move inertia than P

  3. P and Q have the same inertia

  4. neither P nor Q has any inertia


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Inertia has direct dependence on $mass$ of the body. More the mass of the body, more will be its inertia.

Since Q has more mass, thus Q has more inertia than P.

Why can dust be removed from a carpet by shaking it, or by beating it with a stick?

  1. Because of inertia of rest

  2. Because of inertia of motion

  3. Because of inertia of direction

  4. Because of momentum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When the carpet is shaken or beaten by a stick, then the carpet moves back but the dust remains still due to inertia of rest and hence the dust particles get separated out.

Which will have move inertia?

  1. A plastic eraser

  2. Pencil

  3. A book

  4. A table


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The object having the greatest mass has the greatest inertia.

As the the table is the heaviest object among the given options, thus table will have more inertia.

Why athletes stop themselves before the line marked for javelin throw

  1. Due to inertia of rest

  2. Due to inertia of motion

  3. Due to inertia of direction

  4. All


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Due to inertia of motion, an object do not stop all of a sudden rather it continues to move over some distance. Hence the athletes stop themselves much before line marked so that they come to rest before crossing that line, otherwise it is said to be a foul.

The sparks produced during sharpening of a knife against a grinding wheel leaves the rim of the wheel tangentially. This is due to which of the following?

  1. Inertia of rest

  2. Inertia of motion

  3. Inertia of direction

  4. Force applied


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Just after the sparks are produced, the force acting on the sparks becomes zero and due to inertia of direction, they start to move in their initial direction of motion which is tangential to the rim of the grinding wheel.

When a bus starts suddenly, the person falls backwards because of

  1. Inertia of rest of the passenger

  2. Inertia of motion of the passenger

  3. Inertia of rest of the bus

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When a bus starts suddenly,the person falls backwards because of inertia of rest of passenger.This is due to the fact that because of their inertia ,the passengers tend to remain in their state of rest when the bus starts suddenly.

Which of the following statement is true when a magician pulls a tablecloth from under a table full of dishes without disturbing the dishes?

  1. Gravity holds the dishes still

  2. The weight of the dishes is reduced

  3. Action-reaction forces are in operation

  4. The dishes have inertia

  5. The dishes have no acceleration


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The dishes have the inertia at rest, thus they tend to remain at rest even when the tablecloth is pulled of suddenly from the table and hence the dishes do not get disturbed.

Suppose gravity of earth suddenly becomes zero, then in which direction
will the moon begin to move if no other celestial body affects it ?

  1. Radial

  2. Tangential

  3. cant say

  4. None


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Moon will be launched in tangential direction with a speed at which it was orbiting around the earth.

In other words, it's speed and direction will be what it was at the time when gravitational force of earth ceased to exist.

Passengers standing in a bus are thrown outwards when the bus takes a sudden turn. This is due to:

  1. outward pull on them

  2. inertia

  3. change in momentum

  4. change in acceleration


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Newton's I law of inertia states that an object will change its direction when a force is applied to it. Hence, when a bus takes a sudden turn the passengers are thrown outward. This is due to the inertia of direction.

A truck and a car are moving with same kinetic energy. They are brought to rest by the application of brakes which provide equal force.

  1. both will cover equal distance

  2. the truck will cover a greater distance

  3. the car will cover a greater distance

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We know that, ${u}^{2}=2as$    (as final velocity will be zero).

$\Rightarrow$ $s=m\dfrac{{u}^{2}}{2F}$.
truck has greater mass  so distance will be more for truck yhan the car.

Two balls of the same size but of different materials, rubber and iron are kept on the smooth floor of a moving train. The brakes are applied suddenly to stop the train. Will the balls start rolling? If so, in which direction? Will they move with the same speed? 

  1. Iron ball is faster than rubber ball

  2. Rubber ball is faster than iron ball

  3. Both move at the same speed

  4. None of them move


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

(a) Inertia is the name for the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion, or an object at rest to remain at rest, unless acted upon by a force. This concept was quantified in Newton's First Law of Motion. For example when a car is abruptly accelerated, drivers and passengers may feel as though their bodies are moving backward. In reality, inertia is making the body want to stay in place as the car moves forward.

(b) Yes, both the balls will start rolling due to inertia of motion. The train stops due to brakes. But the balls continue to move in the direction of the train. But the balls will not roll with the same speed. Iron ball will move slower than the rubber ball because it is heavier in weight.

Galilee's law of inertia is another name for newton's (... ) law of motion.

  1. First

  2. Second

  3. Third

  4. Anyone of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Galileo's law of inertia is another name for newton's First law of motion. Newton's first law states that an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed in a straight line unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. Inertia comes from mass. Objects with more mass have more inertia.

What is the other name of Galileo's law of falling bodies?

  1. Law of motion

  2. Newton's first law

  3. Newton's second law

  4. Newton's third law


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Galelio’s hypothesis stated,”A falling body accelerates uniformly: it picks up equal amounts of speed in equal time intervals, so that, if it falls from rest, it is moving twice as fast after two seconds as it was moving after one second, and moving three times as fast after three seconds as it was after one second.”


The term inertia was first used by

  1. Newton

  2. Galileo

  3. Aristotle

  4. Kepler


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Galileo, a premier scientist in the seventeenth century, developed the concept of inertia. Galileo reasoned that moving objects eventually stop because of a force called friction. First thing it was discovered and not invented. It was discovered and stated and proved by Sir Isaac Newton.

Hence,
option $B$ is correct answer.
