Q:5.
Given distance travelled by the truck (S)= 400m
Time =20sec
Mass of the truck = 7000kg
Initial velocity(u) =0m/s
Find acceleration (a) = ⁇
Find force (F) = ⁇
i)From second equation of motion:
1
𝑠 = 𝑢𝑡 + 𝑎𝑡 2
2
1
400 = 0 × 𝑡 + 𝑎(202 )
2
1
400 = 𝑎(400)
2
a= 2m/s2
ii) v=u+at
v=0+2X20
v=40 m/s
iii) from Newton’s second law of motion:
F=ma
F= 7000x2
F=14000N
Thus, force acting on the truck is 1400N.
Q:6. Given mass of the stone = 1kg
Initial velocity (u) =20m/s
Final velocity (v) =0m/s
Distance travelled by stone (s)=50m
Force of friction (F) =⁇
From the third equation of motion:
v2=u2+2as
0= (20)2+2xax50
0=400+2ax50
−400
𝑎=
100
a =-4 m/s2
from Newton’s second law of motion F=ma
F= 1kg x( – 4 )m/s2
Thus, the force of friction between the stone and ice
is F= -4m/s2
Q:7.
Net force=force exerted by engine-frictional force
= 40000N – 5000N =35,000N
35000𝑁
𝑎= = 1.944 𝑚/𝑠 2

(c) mass of wagon 2 (m) = (2000 x4)
= 8000 kg
Force on wagon “2” by wagon “1” (F1) = ma
= 8000 x1.94
F1= 15520N
Q:10. A force of 200N is applied in the forward
direction. Thus, from Newton’s third law of motion,
an equal amount of force will act in the opposite
direction. Hence , a frictional force of 200 N is
exerted on the cabinet.
F= 300/6=50N
Q:17. kiran’s suggestion is wrong because the mass
of insect is very small and velocity of insect will be
same as that of motor car after collision, hence
change in momentum of insect cannot be greater
than that of a motor car. Akhtar’s statement is also
wrong because the force is not due to larger velocity
it is due to change in momentum.
