NEWTONS LAWS OF MOTION

VERY SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS (1 MARKS) 1. 2. 3. A person sitting in the compartment of a train moving with uniform speed throws a ball in the upward direction. What path of the ball will appear to him? What to a person standing outside? If force is acting on a moving body perpendicular to the direction of motion, then what will be its effect on the speed and direction of the body? The length of an ideal spring increases by 0.1 cm when a body of 1 kg is suspended from it. If this spring is laid on a frictionless horizontal table and bodies of mass 1 kg each are suspended from its ends, then what will be the increase in its length ? The two ends of a spring-balance are pulled each by a force of 10 kg. weight. What will be the reading of the balance? What happens to coefficient of friction, when weight of body is doubled? Which is greatest out of static friction, limiting friction and dynamic friction? Is friction a self adjusting force? What is the angle between frictional force and instantaneous velocity of the body moving over a rough surface?

SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS (2 MARKS) 1. 2. 3. Two bodies of mass M and m are allowed to fall freely from the same height. If air resistance for each body is same, then will both the bodies reach the earth simultaneously? A soda water bottle is falling freely. Will the bubbles of the gas rise in the water of the bottle? A bird is sitting on the floor of a wire case and the cage is in the hand of a girl. Will the girl experience any change in the weight of the cage when the bird (i) starts flying in the cage with a constant velocity (ii) flies upwards with acceleration (iii) flies downwards with acceleration? When a ball is thrown upwards, its momentum first decreases and then increases. Is conservation of linear momentum violated in this process? Automobile tyres are generally provided with irregular projections over their surfaces, why? Why is it difficult to climb up a greasy pole? Why frictional force gets increased when two surfaces in contact are polished beyond a certain limit? The driver of a truck travelling with a velocity v suddenly notices a brick wall in front of him at a distance d. It is better for him to apply brakes or to make a circular turn without applying brakes in order to just avoid crashing into the wall ? Why ? Why does water from a bucket not fall even when it is upside down while rotating in a vertical circle? Why does a pilot looping a vertical loop not fall down even at the highest point?

LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS (5 MARKS) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Explain what is meant by force, inertia and linear momentum? State and explain Newtons first law of motion. What are three types of inertia? Give at least two examples of each type. State and explain Newtons second law of motion. Hence deduce the relation F ma , where the symbols have their usual meaning. Define absolute and gravitational units of force. What are the dimensions of force? State and prove the principle of conservation of linear momentum.
