1) Explain Question: An insect is moving on a rough incline (μ = 1) and can walk either up or
down the slope. We need to analyze the role of friction and find the correct statements about
its possible acceleration and motion.
Concept: For walking insect, friction is the driving force and can act either up or down the
incline depending on the direction of motion. The maximum static friction is and the
insect's acceleration depends on the net force along the incline.

Question Explanation : Two blocks (Block 1: 1 kg , μ1 = 0.4 and Block 2 : 2 kg, μ2 = 0.5) are
on a 60º incline. Since the lower block (Block 2) is slower, the upper block (Block 1) pushes
against it.
Concept : Newton's Second Law ( )
Solution :
To determine if they move together, we compare their potential individual accelerations.
Because the block in front (Block 2) has a lower potential acceleration than the one behind it
(Block 1), Block 1 will catch up and push Block 2. They will move together with a common
acceleration .

4) Question Explanation:
Calculating the speed of a conveyor belt based on the kinematic behavior of a block moving
under the influence of friction. Concept:
Friction and Kinematics on a Moving Surface.
Solution: When a block is placed on a moving conveyor belt with an initial velocity, kinetic
friction acts on the block to oppose the relative motion between the two surfaces. This friction
eventually causes the block's velocity to match the belt's velocity.
Acceleration due to friction: Final velocity v = u + at Identify the Initial Conditions: Initial
velocity of block relative to ground (u): (opposite to belt motion). Time taken to reach
belt speed (t): . Coefficient of friction . Gravity (g): .
Calculate Acceleration (a): The friction force provides the acceleration a that

For (2) : For system, reaction given by ground = 20 + 30 = 50N
For block A reaction between A & B = 50 – 10 = 40N
For (3) : For motion of A, NAB – 10 = 1 × 25 ⇒ NAB = 35N
For (4) : For motion of A, NAB = 1 × 35 = 35N

9) Explain Question: A 20 kg block is placed on a 30 kg block, and the ground below the 30
kg block is frictionless. A horizontal force of 100 N is applied to the 20 kg block. Find the
frictional force acting on the 20 kg block
Concept: First check whether the blocks move together using static friction, if the required
friction exceeds fsmax, then slipping occurs and kinetic friction acts.
Solution:
10) Explain Question: The problem asks to match various physical states of a block (moving
right, moving left, on the verge of sliding, or at rest) with the correct vector expression for the
friction force acting on it. The block experiences a pulling force F at an angle θ relative to the
horizontal +x-direction (represented by ).
Concept: The key concept is that kinetic friction always opposes the direction of relative
motion, whereas static friction self-adjusts to oppose the tendency of motion, balancing out
the horizontal component of the applied force (Fcosθ) up to its maximum limiting value (μs N).
In static condition =–

frictionless, and the threads are inextensible. Find the mathematical relationship between the
masses (m1, m2, m3) for which the block of mass m1 will remain completely at rest
Concept: For mass m1 to remain at rest, the upward tension supporting it must exactly
balance its gravitational weight. Because the upper mass is stationary, the lower massless
pulley acts as a fixed atwood machine where its upward tension equals twice the tension of the
lower string.

Concept: Treat the coil as a magnetic dipole with magnetic moment . For

According to Collision Theory, not all collisions between reactant molecules lead to the

barrier).
2. Orientation Factor: The molecules must collide in a specific, proper orientation so that
existing bonds can break and new bonds can form. If either of these conditions is not satisfied,
the molecules simply bounce back without reacting.
Rate of Reaction ∝ Number of Effective Collisions.
Mathematically: k = P ⋅ Z ⋅ e−E /RT a
−Ea/RT
Here, P represents the orientation (steric) factor and e represents the fraction of molecules with sufficient threshold energy.

are attached to carbon number respectively
Concept:
This question is based on nomenclature of poly functional group containing compound.
Solution:
Parent carbon chain selection rule
Senior most functional group > Maximum number of multiple bond > Maximum number of
carbon atoms > Maximum number of substituents > Lowest set of locant > Alphabetisation
Ethyl-3-amino-5-cyanocyclohex-2-ene-1-carboxylate

Final Answer :
The correct option is (3)
Concept:
Solution:
The longest continuous carbon chain contains six carbon atoms (hexane). The –OH group has highest
priority, so numbering is done from the end nearest to –OH, placing it at C‑2.
This gives a chloro substituent at C‑1 and a methyl substituent at C‑4. Substituents are written in
alphabetical order with appropriate locants.

Question Explanation:
The question asks for the IUPAC name of the compound having the structure CH2=CH–CN.
Concept:
This question is based on IUPAC Nomenclature, Nitrile Functional Groups.
Solution :
The compound contains a –CN (nitrile) group, which is the principal functional group and must
be included in the parent chain.
The carbon of the –CN group is counted as C-1. Including this carbon, the longest chain has
three carbon atoms.
There is a C=C double bond between C-2 and C-3.
Hence, the parent name is prop-2-ene, and with the nitrile suffix, the complete name becomes
prop-2-enenitrile.
Concept:
This is based on IUPAC priority rules (nitrile as principal group, longest chain selection).
Solution:
Include the –CN in the parent: treat the molecule as a pentanenitrile (nitrile = principal suffix).
Substituents: formyl (–CHO) at C-2 and the oxo (ketone) at C-3.
IUPAC name: 2-Formyl-3-oxopentanenitrile.
