A student attempts to pull himself up by tugging on his hair. He will not succeed
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
As the force applied is internal to the system

Statement-I: If net force on a rigid body is zero, it is either at rest or moving with a constant linear velocity.
Statement-II: Constant velocity means linear acceleration is zero
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-I is true and statement-II is true
Option A (Statement-I is true and statement-II is true) is correct because a zero net force implies either rest or constant velocity (Newton's First Law), and constant velocity inherently means zero acceleration.

348 of 426
Understanding +4 | -1
Which of the following statement is incorrect about friction ?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Kinetic friction is self adjusting
Option D (Kinetic friction is self adjusting) is the incorrect statement because kinetic friction has a fixed value determined by the coefficient of kinetic friction and the normal force.

Statement I: When the car accelerates horizontally along a straight road, the accelerating force is given by the push of the rear axile on the wheels.
Statement II: When the car accelerates, the rear axile rotates with a greater frequency.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is the correct explanation for Statement I
Option A (Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is the correct explanation for Statement I) is correct because the push of the rear axle on the wheels is the accelerating force, and this push is due to the rotation of the axle at a greater frequency.

Assertion: Pulling a lawn roller is easier than pushing it.
Reason: Pushing increases the apparent weight and hence the force of friction.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A is correct because pushing a lawn roller increases the effective weight, leading to higher friction, making it harder to pull.

A nucleus at rest splits into two nuclear parts having same density and radii in the ratio 1:21:2. Their velocities are in the ratio
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
8:18:1
Option D (8:18:1) is correct because the ratio of velocities is inversely proportional to the ratio of masses, which is related to the cube of the radii ratio.

Statement-I: Coefficient of friction can be greater than unity.
Statement-II: Force of friction is dependent on normal reaction and ratio of friction and normal reaction cannot exceed unity.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement-I is true and statement-II is false
Option B (Statement-I is true and statement-II is false) is correct because the coefficient of friction can be greater than unity, but the statement about the ratio of friction and normal reaction is misleading.

Understanding +4 | -1
A particle is moving with a constant speed along a straight line path. A force is not required to
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Keep it moving with uniform velocity
Option D (Keep it moving with uniform velocity) is correct because, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by a force.

The same change in momentum about in ...X... time needs
...Y... force applied. Here, X and Y refer to
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
both 1 & 2
Option C (both 1 & 2) is correct because a smaller time interval requires a larger force to achieve the same change in momentum, and vice versa, as dictated by the impulse-momentum theorem.
