A body of weight \(\mathrm{w}_{1}\) is suspended from the ceiling of a room through a chain of weight \(\mathrm{w}_{2}.\)The ceiling pulls the chain by a force:
| 1. | \(\mathrm{w}_{1}\) | 2. | \(\mathrm{w}_{2}\) |
| 3. | \(\mathrm{w}_{1}+\mathrm{w}_{2}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{\text w_{1}+\text w_{2}}{2}\) |
When a horse pulls a cart, the force that helps the horse to move forward is the force exerted by:
| 1. | the cart on the horse. |
| 2. | the ground on the horse. |
| 3. | the ground on the cart. |
| 4. | the horse on the ground. |
Neglect the effect of rotation of the earth. Suppose the earth suddenly stops attracting objects placed near its surface. A person standing on the surface of the earth will:
| 1. | fly up |
| 2. | slip along the surface |
| 3. | fly along a tangent to the earth’s surface |
| 4. | remain standing |
A force \(F_1\) acts on a particle so as to accelerate it from rest to a velocity \(v.\) The force \(F_1\) is then replaced by \(F_2\) which decelerates it to rest.
1. \(F_1\) must be equal to \(F_2\)
2. \(F_1\) may be equal to \(F_2\)
3. must be unequal to \(F_2\)
4. none of these
Two objects \(A\) and \(B\) are thrown upward simultaneously with the same speed. The mass of \(A\) is greater than the mass of \(B\). Suppose the air exerts a constant and equal force of resistance on the two bodies.
| 1. | the two bodies will reach the same height. |
| 2. | \(A\) will go higher than \(B\). |
| 3. | \(B\) will go higher than \(A\). |
| 4. | any of the above three may happen depending on the speed with which the objects are thrown. |
A person reports that a particle has a non-zero acceleration even though no force is acting on it. Which of the following could explain this observation?
| 1. | The person is lying. |
| 2. | The person’s clock might be running slow. |
| 3. | The person’s metre scale might be longer than the standard scale. |
| 4. | The observation might have been made from a non-inertial frame of reference. |
| Statement A: | The linear momentum of a particle is independent of the frame of reference. |
| Statement B: | The kinetic energy of a particle is independent of the frame of reference. |
| 1. | Both Statement A and Statement B are correct. |
| 2. | Statement A is correct and Statement B is incorrect. |
| 3. | Statement A is incorrect and Statement B is correct. |
| 4. | Both Statement A and Statement B are incorrect. |
