Question - 4

A cricket ball of mass 150 g is thrown with an initial speed of 72 km \(h^{-1}\).  The batsman deflects it by an angle of \(45^{o}\) withour change in its speed.  If bat interacts with the ball for a short duration of 50 ms, the force imparted by the batsman to the ball is

  • C swinging his arms keeping his back towards the shore
  • D swinging his arms keeping his front towards the shore

Question - 6

If a body of mass 3 kg is moving on a circular path with radius to 3m with a velocity of 2 \(ms^{-1}\) and acceleration of  1 \(ms^{-2}\).  The ratio of normal force to ner force is

Question - 8

A train is moving at a constant speed along a straight level track.  Then

  • A the frictional force is zero
  • B the frictional force on the engine and the coach acts in the same direction
  • C the pushing force is greater than the frictional force
  • D the resultant of all the forces acting on the train is zero

Question - 9

The force of friction

  • A is directly proportional to ares of contact between the surfaces for a given load.
  • B does not always oppose the relative motion of one surface over another.
  • C acts parallel to the instantaneous velocity of a body
  • D acts parallel to but opposite in direction to the instaneous velocity of a body.
