Q5.
Refer to the above image Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an
expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Akhtar and Kiran started pondering over the
situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of
the motorcar (because the change in the velocity of the insect was much more than that of the motorcar). Akhtar said that
8/31/23, 9:03 PM TestLo
since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. And as a result the insect died.
Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a
change in their momentum.

Q9. State Newton’s third law of motion and give two examples to illustrate the law.
Ans:
According to Newton's third law of motion: Whenever one body exerts a force on another body, the second body exerts an equal
and opposite force on the first body. In other words, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Two examples to illustrate this law:
When a man jumps out from a boat, the boat moves backwards. This is due to the fact that to step out of the boat, the man
presses the boat with his foot in the backward direction. The push of the man on the boat is action. The boat exerts an equal
force in the forward direction and since the boat is not fixed and is floating, it moves backwards due to the action force
exerted by the man.
Gunman gets a jerk on firing a bullet from his gun. This is because when a bullet is fired from a gun, the force sending the
bullet forward is equal to the force sending the gun backwards but due to high mass of the gun, it moves only a little distance
backwards giving a jerk to the gunman.

Q12. Describe an experiment to show that sound cannot pass through vacuum.
Ans:
Sound cannot travel through vacuum. This can be shown by the following experiment:
1. A ringing electric bell is placed inside an air tight glass jar containing air. We can hear the sound of ringing bell clearly. Thus,
when air is present as medium in the bell jar, sound can travel through it and reach our ears.
2. The bell jar containing ringing bell is placed over the plate of a vacuum pump. Air is gradually removed from the bell jar by
switching on the vacuum pump. As more and more air is removed from the bell jar, the sound of ringing bell becomes fainter
8/31/23, 9:03 PM TestLo
and fainter. And when all the air is removed from the bell jar, no sound can be heard at all. Thus, when vacuum is created in the
bell jar, then the sound of ringing bell placed inside it cannot be heard.
This shows that sound cannot travel through vacuum.

Q15. Show by using the graphical method that:
1 2
s = ut + at
2
where the symbols have their usual meanings.

Ans:
Consider the velocity-time graph of a body shown in figure. The body has an initial velocity u at a point A and then its velocity
changes at a uniform rate from A to B in time t. In other words, there is a uniform acceleration a from A to B, and after time t its
final velocity becomes v which is equal to BC in the graph. The time t is represented by OC.
Suppose the body travels a distance s in time t. In the figure, the distance travelled by the body is given by the area of the space
between the velocity-time graph AB and the time axis OC, which is equal to the area of the figure OABC. Thus:
Distance travelled = Area of figure OABC
= Area of rectangle OABC + area of triangle ABD
Now, we will find out the area of rectangle OABC and area of triangle ABD.
1. Area of rectangle OADC = OA × OC
=u×t
= ut
2. Area of triangle ABD = ( 1

Q19. Show by means of graphical method that:

v = u + at
where the symbols have their usual meanings.
Ans:
Consider the velocity-time graph of a body shown in figure.
8/31/23, 9:03 PM TestLo
The body has an initial velocity u at a point A and then its velocity changes at a uniform rate from A to B in time t. In other words,
there is a uniform acceleration a from A to B, and after time t its final velocity becomes v which is equal to BC in the graph. The
time t is represented by OC. To complete the figure, we draw the perpendicular CB from point C, and draw AD parallel to OC. BE is
the perpendicular from point B to OE.
Now, Initial velocity of the body, u = OA ...(1)
And, Final velocity of the body, v = BC ...(2)
But from the graph BC = BD + DC
Therefore, v = BD + DC ...(3)
Again DC = OA
So, v = BD + OA
Now, from equation (1), OA = u
So, v = BD + u ...(4)
We should find out the value of BD now. We know the slope of a velocity-time graph is equal to the acceleration, a.
Thus, Acceleration, a = slope of line AB
or a = BD
AD
But AD = OC = t, so putting t in place of AD in the above relation, we get:

BD
a =
t
Now, putting this value of BD in equation (4), we get:

v = u + at
Q20. Two strings X and Yare tied to the two opposite faces of the block as shown in figure. If we apply a force by pulling the string X,
the block begins to move to the right. Similarly, if we pull the string Y, the block moves to the left. But, if the block is pulled from
both the sides with equal forces, the block will not move. Such forces are called balanced forces and do not change the state of
rest or of motion of an object. Now, let us consider a situation in which two opposite forces of different magnitudes pull the
block. In this case, the block would begin to move in the direction ofthe greater force. Thus, the two forces are not balanced
and the unbalanced force acts in the direction the block moves. This suggests that an unbalanced force acting on an object
brings it in motion. Force is push or pull.
1. Force is nothing but.
1. Push
2. Pull
3. Both push or pulls
4. None of the above
2. If the block is pulled from both the sides with equal forces, the block will not move. Such forces are called:

force. Such forces are called:
1. Balanced
2. Unbalanced

Q24. Discuss the conservation of momentum in each of the following cases:
1. A rocket taking off from ground.
2. Flying of a jet aeroplane.
Ans:
1. Rocket taking off from the ground: The chemicals inside the rocket burn and produce very high velocity blast of hot gases.
These gases pass out through the tail nozzle of the rocket in the downward direction with tremendous speed and the rocket
moves up to balance the momentum of the gases. The gases have a very high velocity ang hence a very large momentum. An
equal momentum is imparted to the rocket in the opposite direction, so that it goes up with a high velocity.
2. Flying of jet aeroplane: In jet aeroplanes, a large volume of gases produced by the combustion of fuel is allowed to escape
through a jet in backward direction. Due to high velocity, the backward rushing gases have a large momentum. They impart an
equal and opposite momentum to the jet aeroplane due to which it moves forward with a great speed.
Q25. Using second law of motion, derive the relation between force and acceleration. A bullet of 10g strikes a sand-bag at a speed of
103m s-1 and gets embedded after travelling 5cm. Calculate
1. The resistive force exerted by the sand on the bullet.
2. The time taken by the bullet to come to rest.
Ans:
If a body of mass (m), moving at velocity (u) accelerates uniformly at (a) for time T, so that its velocity changes to v, then
initial momentum p1 = mu
and final momentum p2 = mv
8/31/23, 9:03 PM TestLo
∴ Change in momentum = p2 - p1 = mv - mu = m (v - u)
According to the second law of mation, force F ∝
Change in momentum
Time
p2 −p1
⇒ F ∝
t
m(v−u)
⇒ F ∝
t
v−u
⇒ F ∝ ma [where, = a]
t
⇒ F = kma
Here, k = 1
∴ F = ma
Given, m = 10g = 1000

10 3
kg = 0.01kg, u = 10 m/s, v = 0 [∵ 1kg = 1000g]
and s = 5cm = 5

m = 0.05m [∵ 1m = 100cm]

a = = −10 m/s

Now, force applied by the bullet,

F = ma
= 0.01 × 107 = -105 N [negative sing show against the direction of motion]
The resistive force exerted by the sand on the bullet = 105 N
2. From first equation of motion, v = u + at
⇒ at = v − u
Now, time taken by bullet to come to rest, t =

Hence, force (F) = 105 N and time (t) = 10-4 s.

Q28. An object is dropped from rest at a height of 150m and simultaneously another object is dropped from rest at a height 100m.
What is the difference in their heights after 2s if both the objects drop with same accelerations? How does the difference in
heights vary with time?
Ans:
For first object given, u = 0 (because object dropped from rest) and time (t) = 2s
from second equation of motion, the distance covered by first object in 2s is
1 2
h = ut + gt
2

h = 0 + × 10 × 4 = 20m

8/31/23, 9:03 PM TestLo
Height of first object from the ground after 2s (h1) = 150m - 20m = 130m for second object guven, u = 0 and time (t) = 2s
From second equation of motion, the distance covered by second object in 2s is
1 2 1 2 2
h = ut + gt = 0 × 2 + × 10 × (2) [∵ g = 10m/ s ]
2 2
1
= 0 + × 1 = ×4 = 20m
2
Height of second object from the ground after 2s then h2 = 100m – 20m = 80m Now, difference in the height after 2s = h1 – h2 =
130 – 80 = 50 m
The difference in hights of the objects will remain same with time as both the objects have been dropped from rest and are falling
with same acceleration i.e (acceleration due to gravity).

Q35. Explain why, a cricket player moves his hands backwards while catching a fast cricket ball.
Ans:
A player moves his hands backwards while catching a fast ball because a fast moving ball has a large momentum and in stopping
this ball, its momentum has to be reduced to zero. Now, when a cricket player moves back his hands on catching the fast ball, then
the time taken to reduce the momentum of the ball is increased. So, the rate of change of momentum of ball is decreased and
hence a small force is exerted on the hands of the player and the hands of the player do not get hurt.

Q43. Explain why it is possible for a small animal to fall from a considerable height without any injury being caused when it reaches
the ground.
Ans:
It is possible for a small animal to fall from a considerable height without being injured because a small animal has small mass, so
the momentum produced is less. When the small animal falls to the ground with less momentum, less opposing force of ground
acts on it and hence no injury is caused to it.

Q54. A car is travelling at 20m/s along a road. A child runs out into the road 50m ahead and the car driver steps on the brake pedal.
What must the car's deceleration be if the car is to stop just before it reaches the child?
Ans:
We have to find the deceleration. We have the following information given,
Initial velocity, (u) = 20m/s
Final velocity, (v) = 0m/s
Distance travelled, (s) = 50m
Let the deceleration for the entire journey be (a)
We can calculate acceleration by using the 3rd equation of motion,
2 2
v −u
a =
2s
Where,
(s) - Displacement
(u) - Initial velocity
(a) - Acceleration
(v) - Final velocity
Put the values in above equation to find the deceleration,

Hence, deceleration is 4m/s2.

Q55. The figure shows an x-t graph of a particle moving along a straight line. What is the sign of the acceleration during the intervals
OA, AB, BC, and CD?
Ans:
1. From the graph we can infer that in the interval OA, it’s almost a straight line with a positive slope. Therefore velocity is positive
that is with increase in time distance also increases and thus acceleration is also positive as well as uniform.
2. In the interval AB, the line has a negative slope as with increase in time distance decreases. Here velocity is negative and it
shows retardation.
3. BC represents more downfalls in the slope of the line which means velocity will become more negative and hence it shows
retardation with greater magnitude than AB.
4. CD shows that with increase in time distance is increasing again with a positive slope. Therefore velocity is positive which
implies acceleration is also positive.
