Ans.
4.During peddling of a bicycle, the force of friction exerted by the ground on the two wheels
is such that it acts [1990-2 marks]
a)in the backward direction on the front wheel and in the forward direction on the rear wheel
b)in the forward direction on the front wheel and in the backward direction on the rear wheel
c)in the backward direction on both, the front and the rear wheels
d)in the forward direction on both, the front and the rear wheels.
Ans.
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.

22.A reference frame attached to the earth [1986-2 marks]
a)is an inertial frame by deYnition.
b)cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is revolving round the sun.
c)is an inertial frame because Newton’s laws are applicable in this frame.

Ans.
Ans.(b), (d) a) It is incorrect. Earth is an accelerated frame, obviously it cannot be an inertial frame.
b)It is correct
c)It is incorrect
Newton’s laws are applicable to it only as a limiting case.
d)It is correct
Infact, a rotating or a revolving frame is accelerating and hence non-inertial. Options (b) and (d) are correct.
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 the Yrst situation.
Statement-2 :The coeWcient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the
increase in the angle of inclination. [2007-3 marks]

Ans.
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.
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.
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.
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”.
Subjective / Numerical integer type

27.In the Ygure, the blocks A, B and C have masses 3kg, 4 kg and 8 kg respectively. The
coeWcient of sliding friction between any two surfaces is 0.25.A is held at rest by a
massless rigid rod Yxed to the wall, while B and C are connected by a light iexible cord
passing around a Yxed frictionless pulley. Find the force F necessary to drag C along the
horizontal surface to the left at a constant speed. Assume that the arrangement shown in
the Ygure, i.e, B on C and A on B, is maintained throughout.[1978]
Ans.
Ans.When block C is moved to the left, the block B will move to right (due to reaction of C on B) while block
A always remains at rest. Let T be the tension in the cord when blocks Band C move. The frictional forces
between the different surfaces are as follows.
28.A uniform rope of length L and mass M is pulled by a constant force F. What is the
tension in the rope at a distance l from the end where the force is applied? [1978]
Ans.
Ans
Ans.(a) Refer the cgure. When the block moves down the inclined plane, the force of friciton f acts upwards
along the plane. Let Fj be the force needed to make the block move without any acceleration. As the
acceleration is zero, no net force acts on the block as its slides down the plane. Hence
30.Two blocks connected by a massless string slide do\frn an inclined plane having an angle
of inclination of 37°. The masses of the two blocks are M! – 4kg and M 2 = 2kg respectively
and the coeWcients of friction of Mj and M 2 with the inclined plane are 0.75 and 0.25
respectively Assuming the string to be taut, Ynd (i) the common acceleration of two masses
and (ii) the tension in the string.
(sin 37° = 0.6, cos37° = 0.8) [Takeg = 9.8ms -2 ]
Ans.
Ml
31.Masses M p M 2 and M 3 are connected by strings of negligible mass which pass over
massless and frictionless pulleys Pj and P 2 as shown in the Ygure. The masses move such
that the portion of the string between Pj and P 2 is parallel to the inclined plane and the
portion of the string between P 2 and M 3 is horizontal. The masses M 2 and M 3 are 4.0kg each
and the co-eWcient of kinetic friction between the masses and the Surfaces is 0.25. The
inclined plane makes an angle of 37° with the horizontal. If the mass Mj moves downwards
with a uniform velocity, Ynd
i)The mass of
ii)The tension in the horizontal portion of the string
(g = 9.8m/sec 2 , sin37° =3/5) [1981-6 marks]
Ans.
Ans.The question gives that mass Mj moves downwards with a uniform velocity. It means that net
acceleration of the system is zero. It is possible if the net pulling force, due to weights of M,, M2 & M3 and
frictional force, is zero.

43.A rocket moves forward by pushing the surrounding air backwards. [1980]
Ans.
Ans.False:A rocket is propelled not by pushing the surrounding air backwards but by the ejection of a
portion of its mass to the back. The forward force on the rocket is the reaction to the backward force on the
ejected material and as more material is ejected, the mass of the rocket decreases.

Ans.False:When a person walks on a rough surface, he pushes the foot backward . The motion of the
surface of contact is backward. Therefore the frictional force will act in the forward direction which is the
direction of motion of the person, the statement is false.

negligible. In (a) the mass m is lifted up by attaching a mass 2m to the other end of the rope.
