38, Assertion: A block of mass m starts moving on a rough
horizontal surface with a velocity v. Tt 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 stmaller than that in the first situation,
‘Reason: The coefficient of friction between the block and
the surface decreases with the increase in the angle of

inclination.
39. Assertion: Two cylinders, one hollow (metal) and the
‘other solid (wood) with the same mass and identical
dimensions are simultaneously allowed to roll without
slipping down an inclined plane from the same height.
‘The hollow cylinder will rach the bottom of the inclined
plane first.
Reason: By the principle of conservation of energy, the
total Kinetic energies of both the cylinders are identical
‘when they reach the bottom ofthe incline. (JEE 2008 P-1]
© Assertion: It is easier to pull a heavy object than to push
it on a level ground.
Reason: The magnitude of frictional force depends on the

Put a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended
index fingers with the left one at 0.00 cm and the right one
at 90.00 cm, When you attempt to move both the fingers
slowly towards the center, initially only the left finger
slips with respect to the scale and the right finger does not.
After some distance, the left finger stops and the right one
starts slipping. Then the right finger stops at a distance xp
from the center (50.00 cm) of the scale and the left one
starts slipping again, This happens because of the
difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the
coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the
fingers and the scale are 0.40 and 0.32, respectively, the
value of xe (in cm) is SEE Adv. 2020 P-1]
