Ans.(a) due to peddling, the point of contact of real wheel has a tendency to move backwards. So frictional
force opposes the back ward tendency i,e., frictional force acts in the forward direction. But the back wheel
accelerates the front wheel in the forward direction. To oppose this frictional force acts in the back ward
direction on front wheel.

Assertion & Reasoning type

Instructions : Each question contains statement-1(Assertion) and statement – 2 (Reason). Of these
statements, mark correct choice if
a)Statement-1 and 2 are true and statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1
b)Statement-1 and 2 are true and statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1
c)Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is ase
d)Statement-1 is false, statement-2 is true.
Ans.
23.Statement-1: A block of mass m starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity v. It stops
due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is
now tilted to an angle of 30°with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with
the same initial velocity v. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than
that in theCLASS
rst situation. PREVIOUS YEAR NCERT
Statement-2 :The coe cient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in
the angle of inclination. [2007-3 marks]
Ans.(c) You need to be clever. Do not waste time on statement-1, statement-2, is false. And only in
alternative (c), the statement -2 is false.
24.Statement-1 : A cloth covers a table. Some dishes are kept on it. The cloth can be pulled out without
dislodging the dishes from the table.
Statement-2 :For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. [2007-3 marks]
Ans.(b) The dishes will remain over there, their state of motion will not change, If the friction on them is not
enough to change the state of motion as fast as that of the cloth.
25.Statement-1 : For an observer looking out through the window of a fast moving train, the nearby
objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train, while the distant objects appear to be
stationary.
Ans.(b) Statement-1 relates to visual experience. Statement -2 is also correct. It is just the method the
relative velocity of an object w.r.t another is calculated. But it does not explains Statement-1. The correct
explanation of Statement-1 is passed on the visual perception of motion, particularly the angular velocity.
The object appears to be moving faster when its angular velocity is greater.
26.Statement-1 :It is easier to pull a heavy object than to push it on a level ground.
Statement-2 :The magnitude of frictional force depends on the nature of the two surfaces in contact.
Ans.(b) Statement-1 is practical experience of everyday life, it is true.Statement-2 is also true but is not the
correct explanation of Statement -1. Correct explanation of statement-1 is “ there is an increase in the
normal reaction when the object is pushed and there is a decrease in the normal reaction when object is
pulled”.
