(i) For wedge net vertical force along vertical axis
is zero.
(ii) For block A net vertical force on A is non-zero.
Therefore, net vertical downward force is acting
on the system.
(iii) Momentum of system is not conserved along

∵ FNet  0 vertical direction.

∵ mgsin = Fpseudo
(i) In rolling motion velocity, acceleration and time
Initially rod has translational kinetic energy. taken are independent of mass of the body on
inclined plane.
27. Answer (3)
(ii) Kinetic energy depends on mass.
When rod comes in contact it starts to rotate so
31. Answer (3)
rotational kinetic energy becomes non-zero (after
collision). So velocity of centre of mass becomes dL
(i)  
smaller therefore, C.M. rises height less than H. dt
(ii) Due to tall building moment of inertia increases

Electric field at the centre of disc is zero because
disc is the collection of rings which also have zero
At O
field at its centre.
[pnet]O = 3 2 p 43. Answer (2)
In electrostatic condition charge inside the conductor
p O is zero but in current carrying conductor electric field
is non zero.
44. Answer (1)
If there is large difference between size of conductors
bodies may attract due to induction which takes
place when conductors are placed at small
p separation.
45. Answer (2)
[pnet]O = 3 2 qa

26. Answer (1) A B
C3 = 2 C4 = 4
It we consider equivalent capacitance between
A and B as x. so same equivalent capacitance will
be between ends of all sides of hexagon. Therefore This is balanced wheatstone bridge between A and
effective diagram is given as B. So capacitor of 6 F can be removed.
