9. (a) F = ma - Fp
Explanation: A pseudo-force Fp appears on the body in the opposite direction of the accelerating non-inertial frame.

10.
(c) 16 m
Explanation: As the box is in an accelerated frame, it experiences a backward force,
F = ma
Motion of the box is opposed by friction,
f = μR = μmg

Net backward force on the box,

F' = F - f = ma - μmg
= m (a - μg)
= 20(2 - 0.15 × 10)N = 10N

(c) car will cover less distance before stopping
Explanation: Being lighter than a truck, the car has less kinetic energy. On applying brakes with the same force, the car will
cover less distance before coming to rest.

19. (a) 40.8

20. (a) 1929 N

Explanation: For car : f1 = μm1g = 0.001 × 400 × 10 = 4 N
4500 - T - 4 = 400 × a
For coach : f2 = 0.001 × 300 × 10 = 3 N
T - 3 = 300 × a
∴ 4500 - 7 = 700a
