Statement I: A bullet is fired from a rifle. If the rifle recoils freely, the kinetic energy of the rifle is less than that of the bullet.
Statement II: In the case of a rifle-bullet system, the law of conservation of momentum is violated.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement I is true, Statement II is false
Option C is correct. Statement I is true because the rifle's kinetic energy is less than the bullet's due to the rifle's larger mass. Statement II is false because momentum is conserved in the rifle-bullet system.

When the road is dry and coefficient of friction is μ\mu, the maximum speed of a car in a circular path is 10 ms−1\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}. If the road becomes wet and μ′=μ/2\mu ' = \mu /2, what is the maximum speed permitted?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
52  ms−15\sqrt 2 \mathrm{\;m}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}
Option D (52  ms−15\sqrt 2 \;\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}) is correct because the maximum speed is proportional to the square root of the coefficient of friction.

A body at rest explodes into two equal parts. Then,
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
They move with same speed in opposite directions
Option D (They move with same speed in opposite directions) is correct because due to conservation of momentum, the two equal parts must move with equal speeds in opposite directions to maintain zero total momentum.

If μr,  μk{\mu _r},\,\,{\mu _k} and μs{\mu _s} represent the coefficients of rolling friction, kinetic and static friction, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
μr<μk<μs{\mu _r} < {\mu _k} < {\mu _s}

Assertion: Mass is a property of one object alone, whereas weight results from the interaction between two objects.
Reason: The weight of an object is proportional to its mass.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option B (If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because mass is an intrinsic property while weight is due to gravitational interaction, and weight is proportional to mass, but the latter doesn't explain the former.

In which of the following cases forces may not be required to keep the
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
The momentum of the particle constant
Option C (The momentum of the particle constant) is correct because, according to Newton's first law, if the momentum of a particle is constant, the net force acting on it is zero.

Assertion: A body can be at rest even when a number of external forces are acting on it.
Reason: It can happen, when the forces acting on the body are concurrent.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true, but reason is false.
The correct answer is C because the assertion is true (a body can be at rest with multiple forces), but the reason is false (forces need to have a zero resultant, not just be concurrent).

A man is slipping on a frictionless inclined plane and a bag falls down from the same height. Then the velocity of both is related as
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
vB=vmv_B=v_m
Option C is correct because both the man and the bag experience the same acceleration due to gravity, resulting in the same final velocity after falling from the same height.

Statement I: By pressing a block against a rough wall, one can balance it.

Statement II: Smooth walls can not hold the block by pressing the block against the wall, however high the force is exerted.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Statement - I and Statement - II are true but Statement - II is not the correct explanation of Statement - I
The correct answer is B because both statements are true, but the reason doesn't explain the assertion; Statement I is about friction, and Statement II is about the absence of friction.

If a coin is dropped in a lift it takes t1t_1 time to reach the floor and takes t2t_2 time when lift is moving up with constant acceleration, then which one of the following relation is correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
t1>t2t_1>t_2
Option B (t1>t2t_1>t_2) is correct because when the lift moves upwards with constant acceleration, the effective acceleration increases, thus reducing the time taken for the coin to reach the floor.

Statement-1: A man is standing on a bathroom scale. Suddenly he squats (sits down) with acceleration aa. The scale reading will increase.
Statement-2: Man pushes down on the scale while squatting.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement- 1 is false, Statement-2 is true
The correct answer is D (Statement- 1 is false, Statement-2 is true) because the scale reading will decrease as the man squats down, and the man does push down on the scale.

Assertion: Suppose there is a body in an elevator that is moving downward direction; Then the apparent weight of the body is less than the original weight of the body

Reason: There is a force produced by the lift itself
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Assertion is true, but Reason is false
Option C is correct because the Assertion is true (apparent weight is less when moving downwards), but the Reason is false (the force is due to acceleration, not the lift itself).

Assertion: Same force applied for the same time causes the same change in momentum for different bodies
Reason: The total momentum of an isolated system of interacting bodies remains conserved.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion.
Option B (Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion) is correct because both statements are true, but the conservation of momentum doesn't directly explain why equal force over equal time causes equal momentum change.
