CHAPTER: FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION
Directions: In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion is given and a corresponding statement
of Reason is given just below it. Of the statements, given below, mark the correct answer as:
(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
1. Assertion: If the net external force on the body is zero, then its acceleration is zero.
Reason: Acceleration does not depend on force.
2. Assertion: When a firefly hits a bus, each of them exerts the same force.
Reason: Firefly has more mass as compared to the windshield.
2. Name the unbalanced force that stops a ball rolling on the ground?
3. Name the property of bodies due to which they resist change in their state of rest or state of uniform
motion along a straight line?
5. The masses of two objects are 2 kg and 20 kg .Which body has greater inertia?
7. When the branch of a tree is shaken, its fruits fall down. Give reason.
8. Why does a person in a bus tend to fall forward when it stops suddenly?
9. Why does a person in a bus tend to fall backwards when it starts suddenly?
10. Sometimes a person thrown out of the bus when the driver takes a sharp turn. Why?
11. Plot a graph between force applied on a body and the acceleration produced in the given mass,
assuming that the magnitude of force is constantly changing.
12. There are three solids made up of aluminium, steel and wood, of the same shape and same volume.
Which of them would have highest inertia?
13. Water sprinkler used for grass lawns begins to rotate as soon as the water is supplied. Explain the principle
on which it works.
Numerical Problems:
1. How much net force is required to accelerate a 1000 kg car at 4.00 m/s2?
2. A body of mass 1 kg undergoes a change of velocity of 4m/s in 4s. What is the force acting on it?
3. If a net force of 7 N was constantly applied on 400 g object at rest, how long will it take to raise its
velocity to 80 m/s?
4. A driver accelerates his car first at the rate of 4 m/s2 and then at the rate of 8 m/s2. Calculate the ratio of
the forces exerted by the engines?
5. A car start from rest and acquire a velocity of 54 km/h in 2 sec. Find
(i) the acceleration
(ii) distance travelled by car assume motion of car is uniform
(iii) If the mass of the car is 1000 Kg, what is the force acting on it?
