5. Newton's Laws of Motion
1. If the external force applied is zero, then
which of the following is conserved?
[BP 2011]
[BP 2011]
Linear momentum.
Angular momentum.
Torque.
Time period.
(a) According to Newton's first law (law of inertia) and the principle of conservation of linear momentum, if the net external force acting on a system is zero, then the total linear momentum of the system remains constant.
2.
No force is required for a body moving
with
[MOE 2014]
[MOE 2014]
Constant velocity.
Constant speed on circular path.
Constant acceleration.
Variable acceleration.
(a) According to Newton's first law of motion, a body continues to move with constant velocity (constant speed and constant direction) unless acted upon by an external force.
3.
Two blocks of masses 6kg and 4kg tied to
ends of a light inextensible string passing
over a frictionless pulley are released.
Then acceleration of the system will be
2m/s
2.5 m/s
4m/s
Sm/s2
(a) For a system of two masses connected by a string over a pulley, the acceleration a = (m₁ - m₂)g / (m₁ + m₂) = (6 - 4) * 9.8 / (6 + 4) = 2 * 9.8 / 10 = 19.6 / 10 = 1.96 m/s². The closest option is 2 m/s².
4.
What is the minimum acceleration of a
fireman sliding down a fixed vertical rope
for which breaking strength is a times his
weight
ag
2tra
(0 - 1)g
(1-d)g
(d) Let the breaking strength be Fbreak = αW, where W = mg is the weight. When sliding down with acceleration a, the tension T in the rope is given by W - T = ma => T = W - ma = mg - ma = m(g - a). For the rope not to break, T ≤ Fbreak => m(g - a) ≤ αmg => g - a ≤ αg => g - αg ≤ a => a ≥ g(1 - α). The minimum acceleration is g(1 - α) or (1-α)g.
5.
A block of 2kg on a horizontal surface is
pulled at 30" with horizontal by a force of
10N. Then normal reaction on the block is
10N
15N
20N
25N
(b) Vertical forces are Normal reaction (N) upwards, weight (mg) downwards, and the vertical component of the applied force (Fsinθ) upwards. N + Fsinθ = mg => N = mg - Fsinθ = 2 * 9.8 - 10 * sin30° = 19.6 - 10 * (1/2) = 19.6 - 5 = 14.6 N. The closest option is 15N.
6. . A 5kg stone falls from a height of 100m
and penetrates 2m is a layer of sand. The
time of penetration is
14.28s
0.089s
7.14s
0.89s
(b) Velocity before entering sand v = √(2gh) = √(2 * 9.8 * 100) = √1960 ≈ 44.27 m/s. For penetration, 0 = v - at => t = v/a. Force by sand F = ma = (mg(h+d))/d = (5 * 9.8 * 102) / 2 = 2499 N. Acceleration a = F/m = 2499 / 5 = 499.8 m/s². Time t = v/a = 44.27 / 499.8 ≈ 0.0886 s ≈ 0.089 s.
7. A balloon is descending at a constant
acceleration a. The mass of the balloon is
M. When a mass m is released from the
mass of the balloon it starts rising with the
same acceleration a. Assuming that the
volume doesn't change when the mass is
released, what is the value of m/M ?
a
2a
a+g
atg
(b) Let upthrust be U. For descending balloon: Mg - U = Ma. For rising mass m: U - mg = ma. From first equation, U = Mg - Ma = M(g - a). Substitute in second: M(g - a) - mg = ma => Mg - Ma = mg + ma => Mg - Ma - ma = mg => M(g - 2a) = mg => m/M = (g - 2a) / g = 1 - 2a/g. None of the options match this result.
8. A balloon of mass M is rising up with
acceleration a, then to double the
acceleration, the fraction of weight of
balloon to be detached is
a
2a
2a+g
atg
(a) Initially: U - Mg = Ma => U = M(g + a). Finally: U - (M - ΔM)g = (M - ΔM)2a => M(g + a) - Mg + ΔMg = 2aM - 2aΔM => Mg + Ma - Mg + ΔMg = 2aM - 2aΔM => Ma + ΔMg = 2aM - 2aΔM => ΔM(g + 2a) = aM => ΔM/M = a / (g + 2a). Fraction of weight detached = ΔW/W = ΔMg / Mg = ΔM/M = a / (g + 2a). Option a is given as a/(2a+g).
9. What is the force exerted by the block B on
block A if lift accelerates
downward at acceleration
2m/s' if mass of block B is
0.5kg
IN
SN
4N
6N
(c) Consider block B. Forces on B are Normal reaction (N) upwards and weight (mBg) downwards. Net force downwards = mB(g + a) = 0.5 * (9.8 + 2) = 0.5 * 11.8 = 5.9 N. This net force is also equal to the force exerted by A on B downwards. Force exerted by B on A upwards (Normal reaction) is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. So, force exerted by B on A upwards = 5.9 N. There's a mistake in options. Let me reconsider the net force on B as mB(g - a) downwards = 0.5 * (9.8 - 2) = 0.5 * 7.8 = 3.9 N ≈ 4 N.
10. A man weighing 80kg is standing on a
trolley weighing 320kg. The trolley is
resting on frictionless horizontal rails. .If
the man starts walking on the trolley along
the rails at speed 1m/s, then after 4sec, his
displacement relative to ground will be
5m
4.8m
c. 3.2m
(c) Total mass M = 80 + 320 = 400 kg. Velocity of man w.r.t trolley Vmt = 1 m/s. Let velocity of trolley w.r.t ground be Vtg and velocity of man w.r.t ground be Vmg. Vmt = Vmg - Vtg => 1 = Vmg - Vtg => Vmg = 1 + Vtg. By conservation of momentum, MmanVmg + MtrolleyVtg = 0 (initially at rest). 80(1 + Vtg) + 320Vtg = 0 => 80 + 80Vtg + 320Vtg = 0 => 400Vtg = -80 => Vtg = -0.2 m/s. Vmg = 1 + Vtg = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 m/s. Displacement of man relative to ground after 4 sec = Vmg * time = 0.8 * 4 = 3.2 m.
11. A 600kg rocket is set for a vertical firing.
If the exhaust speed is 100ms , the mass of
the gas ejected per second to supply the
thrust needed to overcome the weight of
rocket is
117.6 kg/s
58.6kgs
6 kg/s
76.4 kg/s
(c) Thrust F = vrel * dm/dt. To overcome weight, Thrust = Mg = 600 * 9.8 = 5880 N. 5880 = 100 * dm/dt => dm/dt = 5880 / 100 = 58.8 kg/s. The closest option is 58.6 kgs.
12. A bullet of mass 10g is fired from a gun of
mass 1kg with recoil velocity of gun =
5m/s. The muzzle velocity will be
a. 30km/min b.
60 km/min
c. 30km/min
d. 500m/s
(d) By conservation of momentum, momentum before firing = momentum after firing. 0 = mbulletvbullet + mgunvgun. 0 = (0.01)vbullet + (1)(-5) => 0.01vbullet = 5 => vbullet = 5 / 0.01 = 500 m/s.
13. A uniform rod of mass 6kg and length is
suspended from . a rigid support. The
tension at a distance - from the free end is
60N
15N
45N
Zero
(b) Tension at a distance x from the free end supports the weight of the part of the rod below that point. Length of this part = l - x = l - l/4 = 3l/4. Mass of this part = (3l/4) * (6/l) = 18/4 = 4.5 kg. Tension = weight = 4.5 * g = 4.5 * 10 = 45 N. Option c. If distance is l/4 from the support, length below is 3l/4, mass is 4.5 kg, tension is 45 N. If distance is l/4 from free end, length below is l/4, mass is 1.5 kg, tension is 1.5 * 10 = 15 N. Option b.
14. A block of mass M is pulled along a
horizontal frictionless surface by a rope of

(b) Acceleration of the system a = F / (M + m). Force exerted by the rope on the block F' = Ma = FM / (M + m).
15. A boy of mass 40kg is hanging from the
horizontal branch of a tree. The tension is
arms is maximum when angle between the
arms is :
0
60
90
120
(d) Let the tension in each arm be T and the angle between the arms be θ. The vertical component of tension balances the weight of the boy: 2Tsin(θ/2) = mg. T = mg / (2sin(θ/2)). Tension is maximum when sin(θ/2) is minimum, which occurs when θ is maximum (180°), but arms cannot be at 180 degree. Tension is minimum when sin(θ/2) is maximum, which occurs when θ = 180 degree, but arms can't be straight. Tension is maximum when θ/2 is minimum, so θ is minimum (closest to 0). But that's not an option. Let's consider other way. Tension in each arm T. Vertical component 2T sin(θ/2) = mg. T = mg / (2sin(θ/2)). For T to be max, sin(θ/2) should be min. sin(θ/2) is min for min value of θ/2. As θ increases from 0 to 180, sin(θ/2) increases. So Tension is maximum for minimum angle. If angle is 180, Tension is infinite. If angle is 0, Tension is mg/0 which is infinite. Tension is minimum at 180. Tension is maximum at angle closest to 0. Option d is the largest angle given.

(b) Mass swept per unit time dm/dt = αv. Force on satellite due to dust F = -v dm/dt = -αv². Acceleration of satellite a = F/M = -αv²/M.
18. A jet of water with area of cross-section

normal and rebounds elastically from the
wall with the same speed. If the speed of
water in the jet is 10m/s, then the force
acting on the wall is
ON
40N
20N
(d) Change in momentum per second (Force) = 2 * (mass/time) * v cosθ = 2 * (ρAv) * v cosθ = 2 * 1000 * 2 * 10⁻⁴ * 10 * 10 * cos60° = 2 * 0.2 * 10 * 0.5 = 2 N.
19. A ball of mass 0.5kg moving with a velocity

125N
100ON
C. 2000N
d. 5000N
(c) Change in momentum = m(vf - vi) = 0.5 * (-2 - 2) = -2 kg m/s. Force = Change in momentum / Time = -2 / 0.001 = -2000 N. Magnitude is 2000 N.

100ON
600N
c. 640N
d. 64N
(c) Weight of boy = mg = 60 * 10 = 600 N. Weight of bag = 40 N. Total downward force = 600 + 40 = 640 N. The floor will push up with an equal and opposite force (Normal reaction) to balance the weight, so 640 N.
21. A 20 kg crate hangs at the end of a long

2.3m/s downward
d
m/s upward.
(c) Net force = Tension - weight = 150 - (20 * 9.8) = 150 - 196 = -46 N (downward). Acceleration a = F/m = -46 / 20 = -2.3 m/s² (downward).

360N
720N
C. 180N
d. 120x10.8N
(a) Initial velocity u = 108 km/hr = 108 * 1000 / 3600 = 30 m/s. Final velocity v = 0. Time t = 10 s. Acceleration a = (v - u) / t = (0 - 30) / 10 = -3 m/s². Force F = ma = 120 * (-3) = -360 N. Magnitude is 360 N.
23. A ball is dropped onto a floor from a

1800m/s
(c) Velocity before impact v₁ = √(2gh₁) = √(2 * 10 * 10) = √200 = 10√2 m/s (downward). Velocity after impact v₂ = √(2gh₂) = √(2 * 10 * 2.5) = √50 = 5√2 m/s (upward). Change in velocity Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 5√2 - (-10√2) = 15√2 m/s (upward). Average acceleration a = Δv / Δt = 15√2 / 0.01 ≈ 2121 m/s². Closest option is 1400m/s² or 2100m/s². Let's use g=9.8. v₁ = √(2*9.8*10) = √196 = 14 m/s. v₂ = √(2*9.8*2.5) = √49 = 7 m/s. Δv = 7 - (-14) = 21 m/s. a = 21 / 0.01 = 2100 m/s².
24. 80 railway wagons all of same 5x10'kg ar
pulled by an engine with a force of 4x10'N

C. 20x 10'N
32x10'N
(a) Total mass = 80 * 5 * 10³ = 400 * 10³ kg = 4 * 10⁵ kg. Acceleration a = F/m = 4 * 10⁵ / 4 * 10⁵ = 1 m/s². Tension in coupling between 30th and 31st wagon pulls the remaining 50 wagons. Mass of 50 wagons = 50 * 5 * 10³ = 250 * 10³ kg. Tension = mass * acceleration = 250 * 10³ * 1 = 2.5 * 10⁵ N. Option a is 1.25 * 10⁵ N.
25. Two trains A and B are running in th
same direction on parallel tracks such that
A is faster than B. If packets of equal
weights are exchanged between the two
then
A will be retarded but B will be accelerated
A will be accelerated but B will be retarded
There will be no change in velocity of A
but B will be accelerated.
There will be no change in velocity of B
but A will be accelerated.
(a) When a packet is thrown from A (faster train) to B (slower train) in the direction of motion, the packet carries some of A's higher velocity, thus slightly decreasing A's velocity (retardation) due to conservation of momentum. Conversely, when a packet is thrown from B to A (opposite to motion relative to B), the packet carries some of B's lower momentum, thus slightly decreasing B's forward momentum (retardation) and increasing A's momentum (acceleration). The question says packets are exchanged. If A throws to B, A retards, B accelerates. If B throws to A, B retards, A accelerates. Assuming simultaneous exchange in the direction of motion.
26. An open knife edge of mass M is dropped
from a height h on a wooden floor. If the
blade penetrates S into the wood, th
average resistance offered by the wood to
the blade is
Mg
Mg (1+5 )
Mg(1 -3)
Mg (1+4)2
(b) Velocity just before penetration v = √(2gh). Work done by resistance = change in kinetic energy. F * S = 0 - 1/2 Mv² = -1/2 M(2gh) = -Mgh. Resistance F = Mgh/S. Net downward force = Mg - F = Mg - Mgh/S. Average resistance offered by wood opposes motion, so in upward direction. Work done by resistance = change in KE. -F * S = 0 - 1/2 Mv² = -Mgh. F = Mgh/S. Average resistance = Mg + Retarding force = Mg + Mgh/S = Mg(1 + h/S). Option b has h/S as 1+5 which looks like typo and should be h/S.

(d) Let acceleration be a. For 2kg: T₁ = 2a. For 1.5kg: T₂ - T₁ = 1.5a => T₂ = 2a + 1.5a = 3.5a. Ratio T₁/T₂ = 2a / 3.5a = 2/3.5 = 4/7. None of the options match. Let's reconsider the figure. It's not provided, assuming masses are pulled horizontally. If masses are in vertical arrangement, for 3kg at bottom: T₃ - 3g = 3a. T₃ = 3(g+a). For 1.5kg: T₂ - T₃ - 1.5g = 1.5a => T₂ = 4.5(g+a). For 2kg: T₁ - T₂ - 2g = 2a => T₁ = 2(g+a) + 4.5(g+a) = 6.5(g+a). T₁/T₂ = 6.5/4.5 = 13/9. Still not matching.
28. Two masses of 10kg and 20kg respectively

(c) For 10 kg mass: Force by spring Fs = m1a1 = 10 * 12 = 120 N. For 20 kg mass: Applied force - Force by spring = m2a2 => 200 - 120 = 20 * a₂ => 80 = 20 * a₂ => a₂ = 4 m/s². None of the options match.
29. A body of mass 5kg at rest explodes into 3
segments having masses in the ratio 2:2:1.
The fragments with equal masses fly in
mutually perpendicular directions with
speed 15ms". What will be the velocity of
the lighter segment?
15ms-1 .
b. 15ms
c. 30ms
d.30 V2ms
(d) Masses are 2x, 2x, x. 2x + 2x + x = 5 => 5x = 5 => x = 1 kg. Masses are 2 kg, 2 kg, 1 kg. Momentum before explosion = 0. Momentum after explosion = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃ = 0. 2 * 15 î + 2 * 15 ĵ + 1 * v₃ = 0 => v₃ = -30 î - 30 ĵ. Velocity of lighter segment = √((-30)² + (-30)²) = √1800 = 30√2 m/s.

(c) Tension in the rope is equal to the force applied by either team, which is 10 KN.
31. A truck weighing 8000kg is moving along a
track with negligible friction at 1.8ms'
with the engine turn off when it begins t
rain hard. The rain drops fall vertically
with respect to the ground. The speed of
the truck, when it. has collect 1000kg of
rain water is
1.6ms
b. . 10ms
3ms
9ms"
(a) By conservation of momentum, initial momentum = final momentum. (Mass of truck) * (Velocity of truck) = (Mass of truck + Mass of rain water) * (Final velocity). 8000 * 1.8 = (8000 + 1000) * vf => 14400 = 9000 * vf => vf = 14400 / 9000 = 1.6 m/s.
32. A body of mass 10kg is moving eastward
with a uniform speed of 2m/s. A force of
20N is applied to it towards north. What is
the magnitude of displacement after
2second?
a. 4m
b. 8m
c. 4V2 m
d. 8V/2 m
(c) Motion in East: ux = 2 m/s, ax = 0, t = 2 s => x = uxt + 1/2 axt² = 2 * 2 + 0 = 4 m. Motion in North: uy = 0, ay = F/m = 20/10 = 2 m/s², t = 2 s => y = uyt + 1/2 ayt² = 0 + 1/2 * 2 * 2² = 4 m. Total displacement = √(x² + y²) = √(4² + 4²) = √32 = 4√2 m.

4N, 7N, 12N
4N, 7N, 14N
(b) For no acceleration (equilibrium), the net force must be zero. This means the vector sum of the three forces is zero, or they can form a triangle when arranged head to tail. For three forces to form a triangle, the sum of any two forces must be greater than or equal to the third force. For option a: 4 + 7 = 11 < 15, so they cannot form a triangle, and the net force cannot be zero, thus producing acceleration.
34. Two bodies of masses 4 Kg and 5Kg are
acted upon one after the other by the same
force. If the acceleration of the heavier
2ms', the acceleration of the lighter
body is
[MOE 20651
[MOE 2065]
4ms
2.5ms"
2 m/s2
3.5ms"
(b) Force F = ma. For heavier body (m₂ = 5 kg, a₂ = 2 m/s²): F = 5 * 2 = 10 N. For lighter body (m₁ = 4 kg, same force F = 10 N): a₁ = F/m₁ = 10 / 4 = 2.5 m/s². There seems to be a mistake in my calculation. Let me recheck. F = m₂a₂ = 5 * 2 = 10 N. a₁ = F/m₁ = 10/4 = 2.5 m/s². Option a is 4ms which is incorrect. Option b is 2ms which is incorrect. Option c is 3.5ms which is incorrect. There might be an error in the question or options.

2.5m/s
3m/sz
(b) The minimum net force occurs when the two forces act in opposite directions. Minimum net force = |6 N - 2 N| = 4 N. Minimum acceleration = Net force / mass = 4 N / 2 kg = 2 m/s².
36. A body of mass 2 kg moving with a certain
velocity is acted upon by an opposing force

4N
8N
(b) To continue motion with the same velocity (constant velocity, zero acceleration), the net force on the body must be zero. Since there is an opposing force of 4N acting on the body, an equal and opposite force of 4N should be applied to counteract it and maintain constant velocity.
37. A force of P magnitude is acting on the

(a) Distance in successive seconds: s₁ = u + 1/2 a(1)² = u + a/2 = 4. s₂ = u + 1/2 a(3) = u + 3a/2 = 5. s₃ = u + 1/2 a(5) = u + 5a/2 = 6. Subtracting first from second: a = 1 m/s². Force F = ma = 8 * 1 = 8 N.
39. A 60 Kg man pushes a 40 Kg man by a
force of 60 N. The 40 Kg man has pushed
the other man with a force of [BPKIHS-95]
[BPKIHS-95]
40 N
C. 60 N
20 N
(c) According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If the 60 kg man pushes the 40 kg man with a force of 60 N, then the 40 kg man will push back on the 60 kg man with a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction, which is 60 N.
40. A rope of length / is pulled by a constant
force F. What is the tension in the rope at a
distance x from the end where force is
applied
[BPKIHS 98]
[BPKIHS 98]
F(1/x)
F(UI-X
FX/I-x
F(1-X)/L
(d) Consider a point at distance x from the end where force F is applied. The tension at this point will be responsible for accelerating the mass (M(l-x)/l) of the rope of length (l-x). Acceleration of rope a = F/M. Tension T = (M(l-x)/l) * a = (M(l-x)/l) * (F/M) = F(l-x)/l.
41. A force F, acts on a particle so as to
accelerate it from rest to velocity v. The
force F, is replaced by a force F, which
[KU 2015)
decelerates it to rest. Then
[KU 2015]
F1 must be equal to F2
b. F1 may be equal to F2
C.
F, must be unequal to F2
one of these
(b) Work done by F₁ = change in KE = 1/2 mv². Work done by F₂ = change in KE = 0 - 1/2 mv² = -1/2 mv². F₁d₁ = 1/2 mv², F₂d₂ = -1/2 mv². If distances are same, then F₂ = -F₁. Magnitudes are equal. If distances are different, magnitudes may be unequal. So F₁ may be equal to F₂.
42. A thief stole the book weighing 'w' then
jump vertically down the wall. What is the
resultant wt of the body before he reach
the ground?
[KU 2016]
[KU 2016]
zero
b. 2w
d. w/2
W
(a) Before reaching the ground, the thief is in free fall, so the apparent weight is zero.
43. When a man weighing 10kg in lift is
accelerated downward
with
the
acceleration of 1m/s' then apparent wt is:
[KU 2016

68
(b) Apparent weight = m(g - a) = 10 * (9.8 - 1) = 88 N.
44. A rest substance is broken into three pieces.
First two pieces have equal mass with the
velocity of 30 m/s move in perpendicular
direction, 3" piece has its mass 3 times the
mass of each equal piece. Find the velocity of
third piece.
[TOM 2016)
[TOM 2016]
a. 9.8 m/s
b. 20 m/s
c. 14.4 m/s
d. 30 m/s
(c) Let mass of each equal piece be m. Mass of third piece is 3m. Total mass before explosion = 5m. Momentum before = 0. Momentum after = m(30 î) + m(30 ĵ) + 3m v₃ = 0. v₃ = (-10 î - 10 ĵ). Velocity = √((-10)² + (-10)²) = √200 = 10√2 ≈ 14.4 m/s.
