1) Frictional force acts opposite to the direction of motion. The unbalanced force of 2N is
letting it move hence frictional force of 2N acts opposite to the motion i.e. leftward

15) F Δt = change in momentum

19) In circular motion both velocity and acceleration changes

26) T1 = (m1 + m2) (g + a) = 16 × 12 = 192 N

27) Impulse = change in momentum

28) v = 300 m/s F = 210 N

29) The acceleration always occurs when an unbalanced force acts on an object. Hence the
direction of unbalanced net force is the direction of acceleration.

30) According to Newton's first law of motion a body at rest, will remain at rest and a body in
uniform motion continues to be in uniform motion until and unless external unbalanced force
is applied. This is also called law of inertia, which is the property of an object to resist any
change in its state of rest or of uniform motion.

57) (1) It helped in correcting the atomic masses of some of the elements e.g. beryllium was
corrected from 13.5 to 9. Similarly, indium, gold, platinum etc.
(2) He predicted the properties of some undiscovered elements and left gaps for them e.g.
Eka-boron, eka- aluminium and eka-silicon names were given for scandium, gallium, and
germanium (not discovered at the time of Mendeleev).
(3) He framed the periodic table with vertical and horizontal columns and gave shape to it.
(4) Isotopes are the atoms of the same element having different atomic masses. Therefore,
 according to Mendeleev’s classification, these should be placed at different places depending
upon their atomic masses.
For example, hydrogen isotopes with atomic masses 1, 2 and 3 should be placed at three
places. However, isotopes have not been given separate places in the periodic table because of
their similar properties.
