Two bodies having masses m1 and m2{m_1}\,and\,{m_2} and velocities u⃗1 and u⃗2{\mathrm{\vec u}_1}\,and\,{\mathrm{\vec u}_2} collide and form a composite system of m1v⃗1+m2v⃗2=0(m1≠m2){m_1}{\mathrm{\vec v}_1} + {m_2}{\mathrm{\vec v}_2} = 0\left( {{m_1} \ne {m_2}} \right). The velocity of the composite system is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Zero
Option A (Zero) is correct because the given condition m1u⃗1+m2u⃗2=0{m_1}{\mathrm{\vec u}_1} + {m_2}{\mathrm{\vec u}_2} = 0 implies that the total initial momentum of the system is zero, and since momentum is conserved, the final velocity of the composite system must also be zero.

A car is moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed v0{v_0}. If the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is μ\mu, the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
v022μg\frac{{v_0^2}}{{2\mu g}}
The shortest distance is calculated using the work-energy theorem, where the work done by friction equals the change in kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct answer is A (v022μg\frac{{v_0^2}}{{2\mu g}}).

The coefficient of limiting friction μ\mu is defined as
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
μ=FR\mathrm{\mu } = \frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{R}}
Option C (μ=FR\mathrm{\mu } = \frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{R}}) is correct because the coefficient of limiting friction is defined as the ratio of the limiting frictional force (F) to the normal reaction (R).

In which of the following cases, net force acting on the
body is zero?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both 1 & 2
Option C (Both 1 & 2) is correct. A car moving with uniform velocity has zero net force because there's no acceleration, and a book lying on the table has zero net force because the normal force balances the weight.

Newton's second and third laws of motion lead to the conservation of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
g  R\sqrt {\mathrm{g}\;R}
Option A (g  R\sqrt {\mathrm{g}\;R}) is correct because at the point of leaving the hemisphere, the normal force becomes zero, and the centripetal force is provided by the component of gravity.

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.
