Explanation: At the highest point, the projectile has only a horizontal velocity while the acceleration due to gravity acts
vertically downwards.

Explanation: Since force is a vector quantity, the impulse is also a vector in the same direction. Impulse applied to an object
produces an equivalent vector change in its linear momentum, also in the same direction.

Explanation: Due to the lightness of the gas bubble they feel less centrifugal force so they get collect near the neck of the
bottle. They collect near the centre of circular motion i.e. near the neck of the bottle.
11.
(d) The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction in
which the force acts
Explanation: If the mass does not change then the acceleration of a particle is dependent on the forces acting upon the particle
and the particle's mass. For a given particle, if the net force is increased, the acceleration is increased. For a given net force, the
more mass a particle has, the less acceleration it has.

(c) 3 ms-2
Explanation: As trolley accelerates forward, a pseudo force acts on the box in reverse. It prevents its slippage in backward
direction, as friction starts acting on it. But as friction can be increased to a maximum value of μ mg. So maximum
acceleration that is possible for block before it starts slipping = μg = 0.3 × 10 = 3 ms -2.

33.
(d) F1 = 3N, F2 = 5N, F3 = 6N
Explanation: Range of resultant of F1 and F2 varies between (3 + 5) = 8N and (5 − 3) = 2N. It means for some value of angle
(θ), resultant 6 can be obtained. So, the resultant of 3N, 5N, and 6N may be zero and the forces may be in equilibrium.

Restoring force, F = kA = 2ma or a = kA

There will be no relative motion between P and Q if pseudo force on block P is less than or just equal to limiting friction
between P and Q.

(b) 1.23 N
Explanation: If a person climbs up or down along the rope with acceleration a, then tension in the rope will be m(g + a) or m(g
- a) respectively.
Force of action = m(g + a)
= 0.1 (9.8 + 2.5) = 1.23 N

Tension in the coupling between 30th and 31st wagon will be due to mass of remaining 50 wagons.
Now, mass of remaining 50 wagons = 50 × 5 × 103 kg
∴ Required tension T = 50 × 5 × 103 × a = 50 × 5 × 103 × 1 = 25 × 104 N .
44. (a) static friction
Explanation: If a force is applied to pull the body and it does not move, the friction acts which is equal in magnitude and
opposite in direction to the applied force, i.e., friction is self-acting force. Further as the body is at rest the friction is called
static friction. If the applied force is increased the force of static friction also increases. If the applied force exceeds a certain
maximum value, the body starts moving. This maximum force of static friction upto which body does not move is called
limiting friction, i.e. static friction is a self-adjusting force with an upper limit called limiting friction. The maximum value of
force of friction upto which the body remains at rest, i.e., limiting friction is found experimentally:
i. to depend on normal reaction, i.e., fL ∝ R
or fL = μ R s

where μ is called the coefficient of static friction

s

ii. independent of area of surface in contact.

where T is the tension in the string

(m1 - m2)g = (m1 + m2)a

( m1 − m2 )
or a = ( m1 + m2 )

Final relative velocity of the express train w.r.t the passenger train,
veq = 0 (because express train comes to rest relative to passenger train)
From first equation of motion,
veq = uep - at ⇒ 0 = 25 - 4t, 4t = 25

(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation: A scalar quantity has magnitude only, such as speed, distance, mass, etc, but these quantities have dimensions
too.
52.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation: Current density is a vector quantity. Hence, the assertion is false.

Current density = i

A

Hence the reason is true.

53.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: A⃗ × B⃗ = AB sinθ = 0
If neither A⃗ nor B⃗ is a null vector, then sinθ = 0
⃗
A ⋅ B
⃗
= AB cosθ = 0
If neither A⃗ nor B⃗ is a null vector, then cosθ = 0
But simultaneously cosθ = 0 and sin 0 = 0, this is not possible.
Hence either A⃗ or B⃗ should be a null vector.
So, the assertion is true.
Magnitude of null vector is 0. So, the reason is also true. But it does not explain the assertion.

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

On an unbanked road, friction provides the necessary centripetal force,
2
mv
= F = μR = μmg
r

−−−
∴ v = √μrg

Thus, with increase in friction, safe velocity also increases. When the road is banked with angle of θ, then its limiting velocity
is its given by,
−−−−−−−−
rg(tan θ+μ)
v = √
1−μ tan θ

Thus, limiting velocity increases with banking of road.

69.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: According to Newton's second law of motion F = ma. When body is moving uniformly along a straight line, and
there is no force of friction, acceleration or retardation of the body,
a = 0 ∴ F = ma = 0
i.e. no external force is required.
70.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: In uniform circular motion of a body the speed remains constant but velocity changes as direction of motion
changes. As linear momentum = mass × velocity, therefore linear momentum of a body changes in a circle.
On the other hand if the body is moving uniformly along a straight line then its velocity remains constant and hence
acceleration is equal to zero.
So, force = mass × acceleration = 0.
