Which of the following pairs of forces cannot be added to give a resultant force of $4N$?

  1. $2 N$ and $8 N$

  2. $2 N$ and $2 N$

  3. $2 N$ and $6 N$

  4. $2 N$ and $4 N$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Resultant force, 

$F=\sqrt{F _1^2+F _2^2+2F _1F _2cos\theta}$. . . . . . . . .(1)
Lets consider the option A,

$F _1=2N$
$F _2=8N$

For maximum resultant force, $cos\theta=1$
From equation (1),
$F _{max}=\sqrt{F _1^2+F _2^2+2F _1F _2}=\sqrt{(F _1+F _2)^2}$
$F _{max}=F _1+F _2$
$F _{max}=8+2=10N$
For minimum resultant force, $cos\theta=-1$
$F _{min}=\sqrt{F _1^2+F _2^2-2F1F _2}=\sqrt{(F _1-F _2)^2}$
$F _{min}=\sqrt{(2-8)^2}=6N$
So, the $4N$ does not lie within this range. Thus it is not possible to have it as resultant force.
The correct option is A.

Two forces 12 N and 5 N are acting perpendicular to each other. Then the net force acting is.

  1. 17 N

  2. 18 N

  3. 7 N

  4. zero

  5. 13 N


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

$ \vec F _{net} = \vec F _1 +\vec F _2$

$| \vec F _{net}| = \sqrt{F _1^2 +F _2^2 +2F _1F _2\cos\theta}$
$| \vec F _{net}| = \sqrt{12^2 +5^2 +2\times 12 \times 5\cos 90^0}$
$| \vec F _{net}| = \sqrt{12^2 +5^2 }$
$| \vec F _{net}| = 13N$
Therefore, E is correct option.

Two forces of $12 \mathrm { N } \text { and } 8 \mathrm { N }$ acts upon a body. The resultant force on the body has maximum value of

  1. $4 \mathrm { N }$

  2. $0 \mathrm { N }$

  3. $20 \mathrm { N }$

  4. $8 \mathrm { N }$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given,

$|\vec F _1|=12N$
$|\vec F _2|=8N$

The resultant force on the body is 
$|\vec R|=\sqrt{F _1^2+F _2^2+2F _1F _2cos\theta}$

For maximum value, $cos\theta=1$
$|\vec R|=\sqrt{(12)^2+(8)^2+2\times 12\times 8\times 1}$

$|\vec R _{max}|=\sqrt{144+64+24\times 8}$

$|\vec R _{max}|=\sqrt{400}=20N$
The correct option is C.

Fill in the blanks:
The net force is ______ than the individual applied forces.

  1. either larger or smaller

  2. always smaller

  3. always greater

  4. always equal


Correct Option: A

The net force is either sum or difference of individual applied forces. So, the force is either larger or smaller than individual forces.

In tug of war, if the two teams have equal strength then:

  1. the rope will break.

  2. the rope will stay at the same place.

  3. the rope will move towards one of the sides.

  4. the rope will move towards each end alternatively.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The rope breaks only if the force applied by both the teams is very large. It has nothing to do with the equality of the strength in the teams on the two sides of the rope.
In a tug of war, if the two teams are applying equal force on the rope then the net force acting on the rope is zero and hence the rope stays at the same place.

A set of unequal and opposite forces is called:

  1. Balanced forces

  2. Unbalanced forces

  3. Equilibrium forces

  4. None


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Unequal and opposite forces do not cancel out each other completely and thus resulting in net force acting in a particular direction. A set of such forces is called a set of unbalanced forces.

A number of forces act on a body at the same point and the body does not move. What do you conclude from this?

  1. Body is acted upon by a set of balanced forces.

  2. Body is acted upon by a set of unbalanced forces.

  3. Body is acted upon by a set of unknown forces.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Balanced forces cancel out the effect of each other. Thus, no net external force acts on the body and hence a body at rest does not move.

If the forces on an object are balanced, then the net force is:

  1. Either positive or negative depending on the strength of forces.

  2. Negative

  3. Positive

  4. Zero


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

If the forces on the object are balanced, this means that the individual force cancel out each other resulting in a zero net force acting on the object.

The strength of force is expressed by?

  1. Direction

  2. Magnitude

  3. Both

  4. None


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Force could be larger or smaller than the other.the strength of a force is usually expressed by its magnitude.

Mark the correct statement(s).

  1. When unbalanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will move.

  2. Unbalanced forces are necessary to cause a non-moving object to start moving.

  3. Unbalanced forces produces change in motion (acceleration).

  4. All


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Unbalanced forces result in a non-zero net external force acting on a body which produces an acceleration of the body in a particular direction and hence the body at rest starts to move in that direction. Thus unbalanced forces are necessary to cause a non moving object to start moving. Thus option D is correct.

You alone can push a roller. But when your friend joins you, the roller moves faster. This is because:

  1. forces in same direction add up.

  2. forces in same direction do not add up.

  3. forces in same direction get subtracted.

  4. forces in same direction remain same.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When your friend joins you, both of you push the roller in same direction. So, your forces, being applied in same direction, add up to a larger value. Thus the roller moves faster.

If force is applied on the body in the direction of motion then

  1. Speed of the body will increase

  2. Speed of the body will decrease

  3. Speed of the body will not change at all

  4. All the options are possible


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If applied force acts on a body in the direction of motion,the speed of the body will increase.

If the direction of force on the body is opposite to the direction of motion,the speed will decrease.

Which of the following pairs of forces will never give resultant force of $2N$

  1. $2N$ and $2N$

  2. $1N$ and $1N$

  3. $1N$ and $3N$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Because if these two forces Act then it cancelled out because they have the same value. Either it acts in same or opposite direction 

A particle is moving along x-axis under the action of a force, $F$ which varies with its postion (x) as $F \propto x^{-1/4}$. The variation of power due to this force with $x$ is

  1. $100 N$

  2. $85 N$

  3. $75 N$

  4. $105 N$


Correct Option: B

When you and your friend pushed heavy table in the same direction , it becomes easier to move. This is because:

  1. The net force is the sum of forces.

  2. The net force is the difference of force.

  3. The net force is division of forces.

  4. The net force is multiplication of forces. 


Correct Option: A
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.

Hence, the net force is the sum of forces

Two forces P and Q can support the body of weight W, one by one, when the body is on the inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ with horizontal and P and Q are acting parallel to the length and base of the inclined plane respectively. Hence

  1. $P^{2} + Q^{2} = W^{2}$

  2. $P^{2} - Q^{2} = W^{2}$

  3. $\cfrac{1}{P^{2}} + \cfrac{1}{Q^{2}} = \cfrac{1}{W^{2}}$

  4. $\cfrac{1}{P^{2}} - \cfrac{1}{Q^{2}} = \cfrac{1}{W^{2}}$


Correct Option: A

A 200 g of putty ball falls vertically into a 2.5 kg cart that is rolling freely at 2 m/s on a horizontal surface. What is the final speed of the cart?

  1. $11.85 m/s$

  2. $1.85 m/s$

  3. $10.85 m/s$

  4. $2.85 m/s$


Correct Option: B

You want to lift a heavy box. The force of gravity pulls it downwards with a force of $500N$. Your father applies an upward force of $220 N$ from below. How much force will you have to apply to lift it upwards?

  1. $720 N$

  2. $280 N$

  3. $180 N$

  4. $380 N$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The force of the gravitational pull is 500 N and the additional force of 220 N is applied in the opposite direction.
So, to lift the box, the box has to apply an extra force of 500 N - 220 N = 280 N in order to lift the box against the gravitational pull.
Resultant force is nothing but the total force acting on a body including their directions. Here, the gravitational force acts opposite to the force applied by the father and the boy.
Hence, the boy has to apply a force of 280 N to lift the box.

The ratio of SI to cgs units of force is

The strength of a force is usually expressed by its:

  1. unit

  2. magnitude

  3. direction

  4. both unit and magnitude.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A force could be larger or smaller than the other and the strength of the force is expressed by its magnitude only. For example, $1\ N$ of force is larger than $1\ mN$ of force.

What will be the net force acting on an object when two equal forces are applied on an object in opposite directions?

  1. Sum of the forces.

  2. Zero

  3. Equal to each of the applied forces.

  4. Difference of the forces.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The forces acting on the object in the opposite directions are equal. The net force will be the difference of the two equal forces. Since both the forces are equal, net force is zero.

$1\ gf$

  1. $105\ dyne$

  2. $981\ dyne$

  3. $9.8\ N$

  4. $1\ N$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Force, $F = mg$    where $m = 1$ gram  and $g = 981$ $cm/s^2$

$\therefore$  $1$ $gf = 1\times 981   =981$ $dyne$  where dyne is a cgs unit of force

Which is correct for balanced and unbalanced forces?

  1. If set of forces acting on body results in change in state such forces are called unbalanced forces

  2. The vector sum of all forces is zero i.e. $\sum Fx = 0$

  3. The object is in non-equilibrium state and the resultant force is non-zero. i.e. $\sum Fx \neq 0$

  4. All


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

If a set of forces acting on a body does not change the state of rest or of motion of an object such forces are called balanced forces. In this case object is said to be in equilibrium state. The vector sum of all forces is zero i.e. $\sum Fx = 0$.
Set of forces acting on body results in change in state i.e. either changes the speed or direction, such forces are called unbalanced forces.  In this case the object is in non-equilibrium state and the resultant force is non-zero. i.e. $\sum Fx \neq 0$.

Which is not the non-SI unit of force

  1. $Dyne$

  2. $Kg - force$

  3. $Gram - force$

  4. $kg\ m/s^{2}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Force       $F  = ma$
SI unit of force is  $kg$ $m/s^2$ or Newton $(N)$ 
Whereas the rest are non-SI units of force.

The force acting on an object are balanced, then the object:

  1. must be at rest

  2. must be moving

  3. must not be accelerating

  4. must lose energy


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Balanced forces always result in a zero external force acting on an object  i.e  $F _{ext}  =0$

$\therefore$   Acceleration       $a  = \dfrac{F _{ext}}{m}  =  0$
Thus the object must not be accelerating or it must be moving with constant velocity or remain at rest (if it was at rest initially). Hence option C is correct.

In tug of war, there are teams A and B. A applies $200 N$ force and B applies $1000 N$ force. Choose the correct statement(s).

  1. The rope will stay at the same place.

  2. The rope will break.

  3. Rope will be drawn towards A.

  4. Rope will be drawn towards B.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Force applied by team A:        $F _A = 200\ N$           (towards A)

Force applied by team B:        $F _B = 1000\ N$         (towards B)

Net force, $F _{net} = F _B-F _A = 1000-200  =800\ N$        (towards B)

What kind of force is required to accelerate the motion of an object?

  1. Balanced force

  2. Unbalanced force

  3. Pressurized force

  4. Equal and opposite force


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Unbalanced forces produce a resultant force acting on the object in a particular direction which tends the object to accelerate in that particular direction.

On a body, a force of $5N$ is applied towards North and another force of $2N$ is applied towards South. Net force on the body is

  1. $3N$

  2. $7N$

  3. $5N$

  4. $2N$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When forces are applied inn the opposite directions, the forces get subtracted.
So, net force on the body$=(5-2)N=3N$

To pull a heavy goods' train, two engines are often connected one after another. This is to

  1. increase the pull

  2. decrease the pull

  3. save the power

  4. do none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Two engines set one after another will increase the pull.

To move a roller, a force of $300 N$ is required. You alone can produce a force of $30 N$. How many of your friends who are equally strong as you should join you to move the roller?

  1. 9

  2. 10

  3. 5

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Force applied by you $= 30 N =$ force applied by any of your friends.
So, let there be $x$ people in total to push the roller.
When $x$ people, each giving a force of $30N$, give force in same direction, total force = $30xN$
To move the roller, $30x=300$
So, $x=\frac{300}{30}=10$
$\therefore$ number of friends to join you $=(10-1)=9$

You are pushing a ball. If your younger sister pushes it from the opposite side with lesser force, the ball will

  1. move slower

  2. move faster

  3. move at same speed

  4. move in another direction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When forces are applied from opposite directions, the forces get subtracted. So, the resultant or net force is less than the force which you were applying initially. As a result, the ball will move at a slower speed.

A $5N$ force is applied from one direction on a body and at the same time same force is applied on it from the other side.So,what wil be the result

  1. Body will move towards left

  2. Body will move towards right

  3. Body will not move at all

  4. Body will start rolling at its place


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In general, more than one force may be acting on an object.However,the effect on the object is due to the net force acting on it will be null.

$2N$ force is applied on a body from the right side and $6$ N is applied from the left side .The resultant force will be __________ N

  1. $8$

  2. $4$

  3. $3$

  4. None


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If two forces act in the opposite directions on an object,the net force acting on it is the difference between the two forces.

If force acts at an angle to the direction of motion,it can

  1. Change the speed of motion

  2. Change the direction of motion

  3. Both

  4. Change the magnitude of the motion 


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If the force acts at an angle to the direction of motion,it can change the speed as well as the direction of motion.

When two forces,applied on an object, equal and opposite,then the forces

  1. May move the object

  2. May stop the object

  3. May move the object and also cause a change in its shape

  4. Do not move the object but may cause a change in its shape.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A force may not always succeed in bringing a change in the state of motion of an object.

When equal and opposite force is applied it do not let the body to move,but cause change in shape of the body.

When a small body hits a very large body,then the

  1. Forces acting on both the bodies are different in magnitude but direction is same.

  2. Forces acting on both the bodies are equal in magnitude and direction is also same

  3. Forces acting on both the bodies are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction

  4. Forces acting on both the bodies are different and directon is also opposite to each other


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When a small body hits a very large body,then the forces acting on both the bodies are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.However the effect (of force)produced in the small body is very large as compared to the effect of (the equal)force on the larger body.

If two forces act in opposite directions on an object,the net force acting on it is the

  1. Addition of two forces

  2. Difference of two forces

  3. Division of two forces

  4. Multiplication of two forces


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Forces applied on an object in the same direction add to one another.

If two forces axt in the opposite directions on an object,the net force acting on it is the difference between the two forces

When three forces of 50N, 30N and 15N act on a body, then the body is 

  1. At rest

  2. Moving with a uniform velocity

  3. In equilibrium

  4. Moving with an acceleration


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Here all the three force will not keep the particle in equilibrium$,$

So$,$ the net force will not be zero and the part particle will move with an acceleration$.$
Hence,
option $(D)$ is correct answer.

Raj was riding his bicycle.After some time, he got tired and stopped paddling the cycle. The cycle stopped after traveling some distance.Which laws of motion helps us to explain this phenomenon?

The relation between the $S.I.$ unit of force and the weight of a $1 kg$ mass is : 

  1. $1 kgf = 1N$

  2. $1 kgf = 0.98 N$

  3. $1 kgf = 9.8 N$

  4. $1 N= 9.8 kgf$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Answer is C.

The S.I. unit of force is Newton, the absolute unit of force in the International System of Units (SI units). It is defined as that force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per second.


S.I. unit of Force = $Mass(kg)\times Acceleration\quad due\quad to\quad Gravity(g)(9.8m/{ s }^{ 2 })$ = Newton

Force (Newton) = Mass x g 

For example, The weight (force) of a mass of 1 kg = 1 x 9.8 = 9.8 N

Hence, 1 kgf = 9.8 N

Force acting on a particle is 5 N. If the unit of length and time are doubled and unit of mass is halved then the numerical value of the force in the new unit will be ________ times the initial value.

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 4


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Force = $\displaystyle 5: : \frac{kg\times m}{sec^{2}}$
If unit of length and time are doubled and the unit of mass is halved
Then the unit of force will be $\displaystyle \left ( \frac{\frac{1}{2}\times 2}{(2)^{2}} \right )=\frac{1}{4}$ times
Hence the numerical value of the force will be 4 times (as numerical value $\displaystyle \propto\frac{1}{unit}$)

1 dyne is equal to

  1. 980 g wt

  2. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{980}$ g wt

  3. 980 kg wt

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Dyne is unit of force specified in CGS system. 

So $ 1 dyne= 10^{-5} N $
And $ 1 N = \dfrac{1}{9.80} kg $
Now,
$ 1 dyne= \dfrac{1}{9.80} \times 10^{-5}  kg$


Changing kg into grams,
 $ 1 dyne = \dfrac{1}{9.80} \times 10^{-5}  \times 10^3 g $
So,
 $ 1 dyne= \dfrac{1}{980}g  \ wt $.

Which of the following sets of concurrent forces may be in equilibrium?

  1. $\displaystyle { F } _{ 1 }=3N,{ F } _{ 2 }=5N,{ F } _{ 3 }=1N$

  2. $\displaystyle { F } _{ 1 }=3N,{ F } _{ 2 }=5N,{ F } _{ 3 }=9N$

  3. $\displaystyle { F } _{ 1 }=3N,{ F } _{ 2 }=5N,{ F } _{ 3 }=6N$

  4. $\displaystyle { F } _{ 1 }=3N,{ F } _{ 2 }=5N,{ F } _{ 3 }=15N$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
"Forces are in equilibrium when vector sum of these three forces is zero and they form a triangle.
For a triangle, the sum of the two sides is always greater than the third side
Therefore, $F _1 = 3N; F _2 = 5N; F _3 = 6N$

$F _1 + F _2 > F _3$

$F _2 + F _3 > F _1$

$F _3 + F _1  > F _2$


In a game of tug of war, three girls of team $A$ pull the rope with forces of $100 N$, $120 N$ and $170 N$. In team $B$, the three members pull the rope with forces of $130 N$, $150 N$ and $155 N$. Who will win the tug of war? What is the resultant force?

  1. Team $A$, $55 N$

  2. Team $B$, $55 N$

  3. Team $A$, $45 N$

  4. Team $B$, $45 N$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Resultant force is nothing but the total force acting on a body including their directions. If the object is at rest or it moves with a same velocity, the resultant force should be zero. All forces are acting on same direction, resultant force should be the sum of all the forces.

In this case, the forces applied by team A are 100 N, 120 N and 170 N. The total force is 100 N+120 N+170 N = 390 N. The forces applied by tema B are 130 N, 150 N and 155 N. The total force is 130 N+150 N+155 N=435 N.
Now, both the total forces are in the opposite direction as the team are in the opposite direction. So, the resultant force is 435 - 390 = 45 N. 
Therefore, Team B will win in the game as they apply more force of 45 N.

Suppose a body that is acted on by only two forces, is accelerated. For this situation, mark the correct statement :
( Initial Velocity is non zero and in same direction as acceleration  ) 

  1. The body cannot move with constant speed

  2. The velocity can never be zero

  3. The sum of two forces cannot be zero

  4. The two forces must act in the same line


Correct Option: A,B,C
Explanation:

If the body is accelerating, then there is a net force which drives the body. Since the body is accelerating, velocity can not be zero or moving with a constant speed. 
It is not necessary that the two forces must act in the same line however they may act in the same line.

A force F is given by $F=at+bt^2$, where t is time. The dimensions of a and b are:

  1. $[MLT^{-3}]$and$ [MLT^{-4}]$

  2. $[MLT^{-4}]$and$ [MLT^{-3}]$

  3. $[MLT^{-1}]$and$ [MLT^{-2}]$

  4. $[MLT^{-2}]$and$ [MLT^{0}]$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given that $F=at+bt^2$ where $t$ is time.


For this equation to be dimensionally correct, the each term in the right hand side should have the dimensions of $F$

Dimensional formula of $F=[ MLT^{-2}]$

$\implies aT=[ MLT^{-2}]$
$\implies$ Dimension of $a$ is $[ MLT^{-3}]$

and
$\implies bT^2=[ MLT^{-2}]$
$\implies$ Dimension of $b$ is $[ MLT^{-4}]$

Hence, option $(A)$ is correct.

What happens when two forces in the same direction, are applied on an object?

  1. Forces add up.

  2. Forces subtract.

  3. Resultant force is the division of forces.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When two forces are applied on a object in the same direction, forces added up and net force increases.

When you and your friend push a table in opposite directions, it becomes difficult to move. This is because:

  1. the net force becomes the sum of  the two forces.

  2. the net force becomes the difference of the two forces.

  3. the table becomes heavier.

  4. the table becomes lighter.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When two forces are applied in opposite directions, the net force becomes the difference of the two. So, the net force becomes small and the table becomes difficult to move.

Fill in the blanks:

The SI unit of force is _______.

  1. Pascal

  2. Kelvin

  3. Newton

  4. Celcius


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In SI system of units, force is expressed in Newtons ($N$).

In the game of tug-of-war, the team that pulls the rope harder wins the game. This is because:

  1. the rope moves in the direction of larger force.

  2. the rope moves in the direction of the smaller force.

  3. the rope does not move at all.

  4. the rope moves in the direction of product of the forces.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a game of tug-of-war, teams apply forces in terms of pulls on the rope. On the rope, two pulls act in opposite directions. The net force becomes the difference of the two forces (pulls) and the rope moves in the direction of the larger force (pull).

When you and your friend pushes heavy table in the same direction, it becomes easier to move. This is because:

  1. the net force is the sum of forces.

  2. the net force is the difference of forces.

  3. the table becomes lighter.

  4. friction reduces.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When you and your friend pushes heavy table in the same direction, the force applied by you and your friend get added. So, applied forces sum up to get a larger force. Hence the table moves easily.

What happens when two forces are applied in the opposite direction on an object?

  1. Net force is the addition of forces.

  2. Net force is the subtraction of forces.

  3. Net force is the division of forces.

  4. Net force is the multiplication of forces.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When two forces are applied in the opposition direction on an object, the net force will be the difference between the two forces.
