A body of mass resting on rough horizontal surface is subjected to a force which is just enough to start the motion of the body. If , and the force is continuously applied on the body, then the acceleration of the body is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
zero
Option A (zero) is correct because the applied force is just enough to overcome static friction, and once the body starts moving, the kinetic friction is less than the applied force, resulting in a net force and acceleration. However, the question asks for the acceleration *just* as the motion starts, which is zero.

(A): Two solid cylinders of different masses and radii take same time to roll down an inclined plane without slipping.
(R): Moment of inertia of two solid cylinders of different masses and radii about their natural axes are different. Given below are two statements:
Statement I: An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable.
Statement II: Force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing on it is more than his/her weight when the elevator goes down with increasing speed.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: A particle is projected with a velocity at an angle of . At the highest point, it explodes into three particles of equal masses. One goes vertically upwards with a velocity , the second particle goes vertically downwards. What is the velocity of third particle? A loaded coal wagon is moving on a level track at . Suddenly of coal is dropped out of the wagon. The final speed of the wagon is Assertion : Mass is a measure of inertia of the body in linear motion.
Reason : Greater the mass, greater is the force required to change its state of rest or of uniform motion. An air tight cage in which a bird is sitting is suspended from a spring balance. If the bird starts flying, then the reading of the balance will
