STATEMENT-1 : A block of mass

m

starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity

v

. 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^{\circ}

with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity

v

. 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 machine gun has a mass

5 {~kg}

. It fires 50 gram bullets at the rate of 30 bullets per minute at a speed of

400 {~ms}^{-1}

. What force is required to keep the gun in position? A particle of mass

4 {~m}

which is at rest explodes into three fragments. Two of the fragments each of mass

m

are found to move with a speed of

v

each in mutually perpendicular direction. The total energy released in the process is A block of mass ‘m’ rests on a rough inclined plane making an angle

30^\circ

with the horizontal. The co-efficient of static friction between the block and the plane is 0.8. If force of friction on the block is 10 N, the mass of the block is

\left( {g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}}} \right).

Statement-1: A shell at the origin explodes into three pieces of masses

2 \mathrm{~kg}

pieces fly off with speeds

-axis respectively. If

{m} \,\mathrm{kg}

piece flies off with speed

40 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

, the total mass of the shell must be

3.5 \mathrm{~kg}

.
Statement-2: The law of conservation of linear momentum holds good. For a system to follow the law of conservation of linear momentum during a collision , the condition is
Total external force acting on the system is zero.
Total external force acting on the system finite and time of collision is negligible.
Total internal force acting on the system is zero. If force on a rocket having exhaust velocity of

300 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}

is 210 N, then rate of combustion of the fuel is:
