When you and your friend push a table in opposite direction, it becomes difficult to move. This is because the net force becomes the difference of the two forces.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Whenever forces act on an object in opposite directions—like the book on the table—the net force is equal to the difference between the two forces. In other words, one force is subtracted from the other to calculate the net force. If the opposing forces are equal, or balanced, the net force is zero, as it is for the book.

Hence, the net force becomes the differences of the two forces.

Make the correct statement (s)

  1. Force in the same direction by addition.

  2. Force in opposite direction by subtraction

  3. Force in same direction by subtracting

  4. Force in opposite direction by addition


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

If two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force is equal to the sum of the two forces. This always results in a stronger force than either of the individual forces alone.

Whenever forces act on an object in opposite directions—like the book on the table—the net force is equal to the difference between the two forces. In other words, one force is subtracted from the other to calculate the net force. If the opposing forces are equal, or balanced, the net force is zero, as it is for the book.

Hence, force in the same direction by addition and force in opposite direction by subtraction

Choose the wrong statement:

  1. 1 kg wt = 9.8 N

  2. Momentum is a vector quantity.

  3. Force is always conserved.

  4. Momentum is conserved in the absence of an external force.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$ 1kg-wt = 1 \times 9.8 N $ 

$ momentum = mass \times velocity $ As velocity is vector, momentum is vector.
Friction is non conservative force.
According to Newton's second law, rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to applied force.
So,if force is zero, momentum is conserved.
So wrong statement is option C.

  2. The impact force on the club head is greatest

  3. The impact force is the same for both

  4. The impact force has no effect on the club

  5. The impact force has no effect on the ball


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The impact force or impulse is given by $I=F\times t$  

 by Newton's third law both will exert an equal and opposite force on each other and time of impact is also same therefore  impact force (impulse) is same for both.

An object is subjected to a non-zero net force, $F$. Which of the following statements about its motion could not be true?

  1. The object will remain at rest

  2. The object has a constant velocity

  3. The object is travelling in a straight-line path with a constant speed

  4. The object is travelling in a circular path with a constant speed

  5. The acceleration of the object is perpendicular to the net force


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Net force on an object is directly proportional to the acceleration of the particle which is the rate of change of velocity.

When a body moves in a uniform circular motion, its velocity keep on changing though its speed is constant.

The amateur boxers, use larger and more padded gloves than professional boxers. The amateur boxers are more protected from injury because:

  1. The larger glove exerts a larger impulse on the boxer

  2. The larger glove exerts a larger force on the boxer

  3. The larger glove exerts more energy on the boxer

  4. The larger glove increases time of impact on the boxer

  5. The larger glove increases the power exerted on the boxer


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

We have impulse $\vec{I}=\vec{F}\times t=\vec{p} _{2}-\vec{p} _{1}$ 

when a boxer hits another boxer , change in momentum remains constant therefore product of force and time should be constant .we can decrease the force by increasing time of impact so boxer uses larger gloves to increase the time of impact  thus  decreases the force and avoids from injury.

Which of the statements about force are true?

  1. It can be seen

  2. It causes an object to move

  3. It is pull or a push

  4. It can change the motion of an object


Correct Option: B,C,D
Explanation:

The force can net be seen but we can see the effects of the force. The force is a pull or a push. The effect of forces are like as it causes an object to move, it can change the motion of the body, it can change shape or volume of the body. 

State whether true or false.
When a body is travelling at a constant velocity, the net force on it is infinite.
  1. True

  2. False

Force is an external effect in the form of a push or pull, which ..................

  1. Produces or tries to produce motion in a body at rest

  2. Stops or tries to stop a moving body

  3. Changes or tries to change the direction of motion of the body

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A,B,C
Explanation:

When force is applied in the direction of motion it increases velocity,

when applied opposite to the direction of motion it will try to reduce the velocity.
when force is applied at any angle with velocity of object, it will try to give a component in that direction where force is applied hence direction or magnitude of net velocity is changed.
When force is applied to any body, an acceleration is generated in that direction where force is applied.

You are on a frictionless horizontal plane. How can you get off if no horizontal force is exerted by pushing against the surface?

  1. By jumping

  2. By splitting or sneezing

  3. By rolling your body on the surface

  4. By running on the plane


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

While splitting or sneezing you will exhale things out with some momentum by applying force on it and in return you will experience a force in the opposite direction according to the $Newton's\quad Third\quad Law\quad of\quad Motion$.So, in this way you will aquire a velocity on a frictionless surface and you will be able to get off it.

What causes a moving body to resist a change in its state of motion?

  1. Its acceleration

  2. Its speed

  3. Its inertia

  4. Its weight


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The property of a body by virtue of which it resists any change in its state of rest or of motion in a straight line on its own is called its inertia.

A rider on horse falls back when horse starts running all of a sudden because

  1. Rider is taken back

  2. Rider is suddenly afraid of falling

  3. Inertia of rest keeps the upper part of body at rest while lower part of the body moves forward with the horse.

  4. Inertia of motion keeps the upper part of body at rest while lower part of the body moves forward with the horse.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A rider on horse falls back when horse starts running, all of a sudden because the rider is in state of rest initially and later inertia of rest keeps the upper part of body at rest while lower part of the body moves forward with horse.

If we apply the brakes to a moving car, it comes to rest. This shows that force can make a moving object go slower.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Ambiguous

  4. Data insufficient


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Answer is A.

Friction prevents objects from moving or slows them down. It also causes wear on surfaces as they rub against each other and generates heat. Thus energy is wasted in overcoming friction. Hence, the force of friction can slow down an object.
Hence, the statement is true.

Eqbal has to push a lighter box and Seema has to push a similar heavier box on the same floor. Who will have to apply a larger force ?

  1. Eqbal

  2. Seema

  3. Both apply same force

  4. cant say


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Force of friction arises because of interlocking of irregularities on the two surfaces in contact. When a heavy object is placed on the floor, the interlocking of irregularities on the surface of box and floor become strong. This is because the two surfaces in contact are pressed harder. Hence, more force is required to overcome the interlocking. Thus to push the heavier box, Seema has to apply a greater force than Eqbal.

  2. $\dfrac{{m} _{2}}{{m} _{1}}$

  3. $1$

  4. $\dfrac{\sqrt{{m} _{1}{m} _{2}}}{{m} _{1}+{m} _{2}}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bodies of mass $m _1$ and $m _2$ acted on by force F (say) for time t. Acceleration in mass $m _1$= $\dfrac{F}{m _1}$
Acceleration in mass $m _2$= $\dfrac{F}{m _2}$
Velocity acquired during this time for mass $m _1$
$v _1=\dfrac{F}{m _1} t$
Velocity acquired during this time for mass $m _2$
$v _2=\dfrac{F}{m _2} t$

Ratio of kinetic energy acquired
$\dfrac{E _1}{E _2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}m _1v _1^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}m _2v _2^2}$
$\dfrac{E _1}{E _2}=\dfrac{m _1\times (\dfrac{F}{m _1} t)^2}{m _2\times (\dfrac{F}{m _2} t)^2}$
$\dfrac{E _1}{E _2}=\dfrac{m _2}{m _1}$
