Chapter 09 Forces and Laws of Motion

Answers

1. b. true
Explanation: The two forces acting on same body, which are in equal and
opposite direction form action and reaction pair. This is the newton’s thirds law
of motion.

2. b. both A and B
Explanation: Rocket moves forward according to newton’s third law of
motion. The gas and other substance coming out from the tail push the rocket in
forward direction. Newton’s laws are universal.

3. d. 1-D, 2-A, 3-C, 4-B

Explanation: Friction is the the force that makes it difficult for one object to
slide along the surface of another.
The limiting friction is the frictional force just sufficient to move the object.
Sliding friction refers to the resistance created by two objects sliding against
each other.
Rolling friction refers to the resistance created by an object rolling across a
surface.

4. b. Non-zero force
Explanation: Any object which face non zero force will have some change in
speed if the body is at rest or moving. So it is not possible to travel with constant
speed. The forces can do work against each other. For example, you could push
the object at constant speed over a rough surface. The net force on the object is
zero.

5. d. third law of motion

Explanation: Jet engine sucks air in at the front with a fan. A compressor
raises the pressure of the air. The compressor is made with many blades
attached to a shaft. The blades spin at high speed and compress or squeeze the
air. The compressed air is then sprayed with fuel and an electric spark lights
 the mixture. The burning gases expand and blast out through the nozzle, at the
back of the engine. As the jets of gas shoot backward, the engine and the
aircraft are thrust forward (Newton's third law of motion).

6. SI unit of impulse=Unit of force x Unit of time= .

7. A force of 200 N is applied in the forward direction.Thus,from Newton's third law of

motion, an equal amount of force will act in the opposite direction.Hence,a frictional
force of 200 N is exerted on the cabinet.

8. Yes,the body will gradually slow down due to the opposing force of friction.

9. Rocket works on the principle of Newton’s third law of motion.

10. No. It is because the body is moving with an uniform acceleration. Hence,its velocity
is increasing continuously and as a result the momentum of the body also increases.

11. Initial velocity,u = 60 m/s

Final velocity,v= 0

Acceleration due to gravity,g = -10 m/s2

a. From

Therefore,the stone will take 6 s to reach the maximum height.

b.

Therefore,the maximum height reached by the stone is 180 m

c. Total time of flight= 2(time of ascent)= 12 s
Now,
 Here,negative sign implies that the velocity is directed downwards.

Therefore,the velocity when it reaches the ground is 60ms-1

12. Let m be the mass of the body

Given : F = 40 N, a = 5 ms-2
From the relation : F = ma we have 40 = m 5
or m =

13. Separation between them will increase. Initially the momentum of both of them are
zero as they are at rest. In order to conserve the momentum the one who throws the
ball would move backward. The second will experience a net force after catching the
ball and therefore will move backwards that is in the direction of the force.

14. Here, mass of object = 1 kg, velocity of object,

Total momentum just before the impact =
= 1 kg
From principle of conservation of momentum, we have
Total momentum just after the impact = Total momentum just before the impact = 10

Now, this object of mass 1 kg sticks to a stationary wooden block of mass 5 kg.
So,
Mass of object + mass of block, = 1 kg + 5 kg = 6 kg
velocity of combined object= =?
According to the law of conservation of momentum, we have

So, the velocity of combined object is

15. i. In the beginning water and clothes are in the state of rest. When the wet clothes
are jerked, the particles of water tend to continue in its state of rest because of
inertia of rest. Therefore the removal of water helps wet clothes to dry quickly
because the droplets of water fall off from the clothes.
ii. When a carpet is hit with a stick, the carpet moves, but dust on account of inertia
 of rest flies off because of the sudden movement. It is in fact the carpet which
comes out of the dust.
iii. In the beginning the fruits on the branches are in the state of rest. On account of
inertia of rest, the fruits tend to continue in their state of rest, but due to strong
wind the fruits fall off the branches.
iv. At first the pillion rider and driver are in a state of motion. When the driver
applies brakes, the body of pillion rider continues moving forward on account of
inertia of motion. Hence the pillion rider falls forward.
