Statement-I: If the force varies with time in a complicated way then the net force is measured by the total change in momentum of the body.
Statement-II: Change in momentum and impulsive force are numerically equal.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement-I is false and statement-II is true
Option C (Statement-I is false and statement-II is true) is correct because the net force is related to the *impulse*, which equals the total change in momentum, and impulse force and change in momentum are numerically equal.

The mass of a body measured by a physical balance in the lift at rest is found to be m. If the lift is going up with an acceleration a, its mass will be measured as
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
m

Three forces are acting on a body to make it in equilibrium, which set can not do it?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
3 N,3 N,7 N3 {~N}, 3 {~N}, 7 {~N}
Option A (3  N,3  N,7  N3 \mathrm{\;N}, 3 \mathrm{\;N}, 7 \mathrm{\;N}) is correct because for three forces to be in equilibrium, the sum of any two forces must be greater than or equal to the third force. In this case, 3 + 3 < 7.

A ball is projected from ground with initial momentum p at an angle θ\theta. What is the magnitude of net change in linear momentum when it reaches at maximum height of journey?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
psinθpsin\theta

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
2 mnumnu

A ball moves in a frictionless inclined table without slipping. The work done by the table surface on the ball is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Zero
Option C (Zero) is correct because the normal force from the table is perpendicular to the ball's displacement, resulting in zero work done.

An object is placed on the surface of a smooth inclined plane of inclination θ\theta. It takes time tt to reach the bottom of the inclined plane. If the same object is allowed to slide down rough inclined plane of same inclination θ\theta, it takes time nt to reach the bottom where n\mathrm{n} is a number greater than 1 . The coefficient of friction μ\mu is given by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
μ=tan⁡θ(1−1n2)\mu=\tan \theta\left(1-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^2}\right)
Option A (μ=tan⁡θ(1−1n2)\mu=\tan \theta\left(1-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^2}\right)) is correct because it is derived by comparing the acceleration of the object on the smooth and rough inclined planes and using the kinematic equation relating distance, acceleration, and time.

A body of mass M is kept on a rough horizontal surface (friction coefficient μ\mu). A person is trying to pull the body by applying a horizontal force but the body is not moving. The force by the surface on the body is F, where
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Mg≤F≤Mg1+μ2Mg \le F \le Mg\sqrt {1 + {\mu ^2}}
Option C (Mg≤F≤Mg1+μ2Mg \le F \le Mg\sqrt {1 + {\mu ^2}}) is correct because the force by the surface must balance both the weight and the applied horizontal force, up to the maximum static friction.

Which of the following statement (s) is/are incorrect?
View answer and explanation

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
v0(32i^−j^)v_0\left(\frac{3}{2} \hat{i}-\hat{j}\right)
Option A (v0(32i^−j^)v_0(\frac{3}{2} \hat{i}-\hat{j})) is correct because it is derived from the conservation of momentum principle in two dimensions.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
2mvt\frac{{2mv}}{t}

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

Assertion(A): Even though net external force on a body is zero, momentum need not to conserved.

Reason(R): The internal interaction between particles of a body cancels out momentum of each other.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Option D (Both Assertion and Reason are false) is correct because if the net external force is zero, momentum is conserved, and internal interactions do not cancel momentum.

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 is correct because Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False. The decrease in mechanical energy due to friction is less on an incline, and the coefficient of friction does not decrease with the angle of inclination.

Correct option: A
Both parts will have numerically equal momentum
Option A is correct because due to the conservation of momentum, the two pieces must have equal and opposite momenta so that the total momentum remains zero (as it was initially).
