Ch: Forces and laws of motion
1. A particle of 10 kg is moving in a constant acceleration 2m/s2 starting from rest. What is its momentum
and velocity per the table given below:
S.No Time Momentum Velocity
(s) (Ns) (m/s)
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
2. A driver accelerates his car first at the rate of 4 m/s2 and then at the rate of 8 m/s2. Calculate the ration of
the forces exerted by the engines?
3. A force of 5 N produces an acceleration of 8 m/s2 on a mass m1𝑚1 and an acceleration of 24 m/s2 on a
mass m2. What acceleration would the same force provide if both the masses are tied together?
4. A person is prone to more serious injuries when falling from a certain height on a hard concrete floor than
on a sandy surface. Explain why.
5. A body is moving on a rough level road with a speed of 15m/s along a given direction. Does any force
needed to maintain this speed? Why?
6. How many types of inertia do the material bodies have?
7. Calculate the momentum of the following:
a) An elephant of mass 2000 kg moving at 5m/s
b) A bullet of mass 2 g moving at 400 m/s
8. Give two examples each where:
a) a force moves a stationary body
b) a force stops a moving body
c) a force changes the speed of a moving body
d) a force changes the direction of a moving body
e) a force changes the shape and size of a body
9. A girl weighing 25 kg stands on the floor. She exerts a downward force of 250N on the floor. What force
does the floor exert on her?
10. Draw a diagram to show how a rocket engine provides a force to move the rocket upwards.
Label the diagram appropriately.
