gravity, what is the force with which the body presses on the floor?
3.The Earths gravitational force causes an acceleration of 5m/s2 in a 1kg mass
somewhere in space. How much will the acceleration of a 3kg mass be at the same place?
4.Why is the gravitational force of attraction between two bodies of ordinary mass not
noticeable in everyday life?
5.The gravitational force between two objects is F.If masses of both objects are halved
without changing the distance between them,then what will be the new gravitational force
between them?
6.In the equation F=Gm1m2/R2,what is/are the factor/s on which G is dependent?

the total distance covered by the stone?
8. Calculate the force of gravitation between the earth and the Sun, given that the mass of
the earth = 6 1024 kg and of the Sun = 2 1030 kg. The average distance between the
two is 1.5 1011 m.

stick together. What will be the velocity of the combined object after collision?
13.A ball is thrown vertically upward with avelocity 49m/s.Calculate (i)the maximum

14.A car of mass 200 kg moving at 36 km/h is brought to rest after it covered a distance
of 10 m. Find the retarding force acting on the car.
15.A certain force exerted for 1.2 seconds raises the speed of an object from 1.8 m/s to
4.2 m/s. Later the same force is applied for 2 seconds. How much does the velocity
change in 2 seconds?
16.A force of 5N produces an acceleration of 8m/s2 on a mass m1 and acceleration of
24m/s2 on m2.What acceleration would the same force provide if both the masses are tied
together?
17.When force applied by a moving vehicle is calculated, the actual force applied by the

brakes may be slightly less than the one calculated theoretically.Why?

18. A scooter is moving with a velocity of 20m/s when brakes are applied. The mass of
the scooter and the rider is 180Kg. the constant force applied by the brakes is 500N.
a) How long should the brakes be applied to make the scooter comes to a halt?
b) How far does the scooter travel before it comes to rest?
19.When the brakes are applied to the bike the back seater moves forward why?
20.There are three solids X,Y,Z of the same shape and same volume.MX>MY>MZ is the
mass relationship among themselves where M is mass Which of them would have highest
inertia and why?
21.A bullet of mass 15g leaves the barrel of a gun with a velocity of 120m/s.The gun
recoils with a velocity of 1m/s. Find the mass of the gun?
22.A force of 3N acts on a mass of 0.5kg at rest for 10s. Find the final velocity and the
momentum of the body after 10s?
23.A ball is gently dropped from a height of 20 m. If its velocity increases uniformly at
the rate of 10 m s-2, with what velocity will it strike the ground? After what time will it
strike the ground?
24.State which of the following situations are possible and give an example for each of
these:
(a) an object with a constant acceleration but with zero velocity
(b) an object moving in a certain direction with an acceleration in the perpendicular
direction.
25.Why it is easier to stop a tennis ball than a cricket ball moving with same speed?

very short time of 0.01 s.What is the force of the nail on the hammer?
27.While catching a fast moving ball,fielder gradually pulls his hand backwards .Explain
only mathematically.No marks will be given for non-mathematical explanation.
28.Two objects of masses 100 g and 200 g are moving along the same line and direction
with velocities of 2 m/s and 1 m/s respectively.They collide and after the collision, the
first object moves at a velocity of 1.67 m/s. Determine the velocity of second object.
