Statement I : If the net external force on the body is zero, then its acceleration is zero.
Statement II : Acceleration does not depend on force.
According to Newton's second law of motion
i.e. magnitude of the acceleration produced by a given force is inversely proportional to the mass of the body. Higher is the mass of the body, lesser will be the acceleration produced i.e. mass of the body is a measure of the opposition offered by the body to change a state, when the force is applied i.e. mass of a body is the measure of its inertia.
Statement I : Static friction is self adjusting force.
Statement II : Friction does not depend on the mass of the body.
Statement I : A cricketer moves his hands forward to catch a ball so as to catch it easily without hurting.
Statement II : He tries to decrease the distance travelled by the ball so that it hurts less.
A cricket player moves his hands backward to increase the time interval for reducing the momentum of the ball to zero. Thus the ball does not hit him hard as force is directly proportional to change of momentum.
Statement I : Same force applied for the same time causes the same change in momentum for different bodies.
Statement II : The total momentum of an isolated system of interacting bodies remains conserved
According to 2nd law of motion;
Thus the same force for the same time causes the same change in momentum for different bodies.
I. To move a football at rest, some one must kick it.
II. To throw a stone upwards, one has to give it an upward push.
III. A breeze causes the branches of a tree to become stationary.
IV. A strong wind can move even heavy objects.
Only I
Only III
III and IV
I and II
A breeze causes branches of tree to swing. In general force is required to put a stationary object in motion.
Select the incorrect statement(s) about static friction.
I. Static friction exists on its own.
II. In the absence of applied force static friction is maximum.
III. Static friction is equal and opposite to the applied force upto a certain limit.
IV. Static friction is greater than limiting friction
I and IV
II and III
I and III
The static friction comes into play, the moment there is an applied force. As the applied force increases, static friction also increases, remaining equal and opposite to the applied force upto a certain limit. But if the applied force increases so much, it overcomes the static friction and the body starts moving.
Select the incorrect statement(s) from the following.
I. Limiting friction is always greater than the kinetic friction.
II. Limiting friction is always less than the static friction.
III. Coefficient of static fiction is always greater than the coefficient of kinetic fiction.
IV. Force of static friction is zero when no driving force is applied.
I only
I, II and IV
Limiting friction is the maximum static friction beyond which the object starts moving. It decreases a little bit before the object comes into motion. Thus limiting friction is less than the kinetic friction
Which of the following statements is/are correct ?
I. Newton's first law of motion defines force.
II. Newton's second law of motion defines inertia.
III. Newton's third law of motion is a measure of force.
IV. Newton's second law of motion is called real law of motion.
Newton's 2nd law of motion gives . Thus it is a measure of force. Newton's first law of motion simply gives a qualitative definition of force.
