STATEMENT-1 : A block of mass mm starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity vv. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of 30∘30^{\circ} with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity vv. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the first situation.

STATEMENT-2 : The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the angle of inclination.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False
Option C (Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False) is correct because the decrease in mechanical energy is greater in the first situation, and the coefficient of friction does not depend on the angle of inclination.

A car is moving with a uniform speed on a level road. Inside the car there is a balloon filled with helium and attached to a piece of string tied to the floor. The string is observed to be vertical. The car now takes a left turn maintaining the speed on the level road. The balloon in the car will (Here the car is supposed to be air tight)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Be thrown to the left side.
The balloon will be thrown to the left side because the air inside the car will experience a pseudo force to the right, causing the lighter helium balloon to move in the opposite direction (to the left).
