14 Statement-1: centripetal force is always required for motion in a curved path.
Statement-2: on a banked road the vertical component of normal reaction provides the necessary
centripetal force
Ans: c
15 A ball of mass 1 kg is dropped from height 9.8 m strikes with ground and rebounds to height of 4.9 m. If the
time of contact between ball and ground is 0.1 s then find impulse and average force acting on ball.
16 A nucleus is at rest in the laboratory frame of references. Show that if it disintegrates into two smaller
nuclei the products must be emitted in opposite directions.
17 A man weighs 70 kg. He stands on a weighing machine in a lift which is moving
(i) upwards with a uniform speed of 10 ms–1
(ii) downwards with a uniform acceleration of 5 ms–2
(iii) upwards with a uniform acceleration of 5 ms–2.
What should be the readings on the scale in each case?
What would be the reading if the lift mechanism failed and it came down freely under gravity?
18 Two masses 10 kg and 20 kg respectively are connected by a massless spring as shown. Force of 300 N acts
on the 20 kg mass. At the instant shown in figure the 10 kg mass has 15 ms–2. What is the acceleration of 20
kg mass.
19 Three blocks are connected by strings as shown, and are pulled by a force of T3 = 150 N. If m1 = 5 kg, m2 =
10 kg and m3 = 15 kg. Calculate the acceleration of the system T1 and T2.
20 A mass m is hung with a light inextensible string as shown. Find the tension in horizontal string.
21 A body is sliding down a rough inclined plane which makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Calculate the
acceleration. (Coefficient of friction = 0.25)
22 Find the force required to move a train of 2000 quintal up an incline of 1 in 50 with an acceleration of
2 ms-2, the force of friction being 0.5 N/per quintal.
23 An electric bulb suspended from the roof of a railway train by a flexible wire shifts through an angle of
19 ֯48’, when the train goes horizontally round a curved path of 200m radius. Find the speed of the train.
24 A car drives over a hill. At the crest, the radius of curvature is 50.0 m. What is the maximum speed the car
can have and still keep its tires on the road?
