balls each of mass impinge elastically (bounce back with same speed) in each second on a surface with velocity . The average force experienced by the surface will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B

Correct option: D
Be thrown to the left side.
Option D (Be thrown to the left side) is correct because the helium balloon, being less dense than the surrounding air, experiences a pseudo force in the opposite direction of the car's acceleration (to the left).

STATEMENT-1 : A block of mass starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity . 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 with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity . 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.
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.

Reason (R) : Speed cannot change linearly with time.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
Option C is correct because the assertion is true, as the given equation implies non-uniform circular motion, which is possible. However, the reason is false because speed can change linearly with time.

I. Linear momentum of a system of particles is zero.
II. Kinetic energy of a system of particles is zero. Then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
I implies II and II implies I
Option D (I does not imply II but II implies I) is correct because if the kinetic energy is zero, all particles must be at rest, implying zero linear momentum, but zero linear momentum doesn't necessitate zero kinetic energy.
