    When an object experiences no net external force, it will continue moving at a constant velocity according to Newton's first law of motion. For an object initially at rest, it will remain at rest. When a carpet is beaten, the dust particles experience inertia and remain at rest while the carpet moves, causing the dust to fall off. Luggage on a moving bus should be tied down due to inertia, as it resists changes in motion and could fall off during turns or braking.

    Question 1. An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force.

    Is it possible for the object to be


    travelling with a non-zero velocity? If yes, state the conditions that must be placed on the magnitude and
    direction of the velocity. If no, provide a reason.
    Answer: When an object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force, in accordance with second law of motion
    its acceleration is zero. If the object was initially in a state of motion, then in accordance with the first law of motion,
    the object will continue to move in same direction with same speed. It means that the object may be travelling with
    a non-zero velocity but the magnitude as well as direction of velocity must remain unchanged or constant
    throughout.

    Question 2. When a carpet is beaten with a stick, dust comes out of it. Explain.
    Answer: The carpet with dust is in state of rest. When it is beaten with a stick the carpet is set in motion, but the
    dust particles remain at rest. Due to inertia of rest the dust particles retain their position of rest and falls down due
    to gravity.

    Question 3. Why is it advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope?
    Answer: In moving vehicle like bus, the motion is not uniform, the speed of vehicle varies and it may apply brake
    suddenly or takes sudden turn. The luggage will resist any change in its state of rest or motion, due to inertia and this
    luggage has the tendency to fall sideways, forward or backward.
    To avoid the fall of the luggage, it is tied with the rope.

    Question 4. A batsman hits a cricket ball which then rolls on a level ground. After covering a short distance, the
    ball comes to rest. The ball slows to a stop because
    (a) the batsman did not hit the ball hard enough.
    (b) velocity is proportional to the force exerted on the ball.
    (c) there is a force on the ball opposing the motion.
    (d) there is no unbalanced force on the ball, so the ball would want to come to rest.
    Answer: (c) there is a force 6n the ball opposing the motion.

    Question 5. A truck starts from rest and rolls down a hill with a constant acceleration. It travels a distance of 400
    m in 20 s. Find its acceleration. Find the force acting on it if its mass is 7 tonnes (Hint : 1 tonne = 1000 kg).
    Answer:

    Question 6. A stone of lkg is thrown with a velocity of 20 ms~1 across the frozen surface of a lake and comes to
    rest after travelling a distance of 50 m. What is the force of friction between the stone and the ice?
    Answer:

    Question 7. 40000 kg engine pulls a train of 5 wagons, each of 2000 kg, along a horizontal track. If the engine
    exerts a force of 40000 N and the track offers a friction force of 5000 N, then calculate:
    Answer:

    Question 8. An automobile vehicle has a mass of 1500 kg. What must be the force between the vehicle and road if
    the vehicle is to be stopped with a negative acceleration of 1.7 ms -2?
    Answer:

    Question 9.What is the momentum of an object of mass m, moving with a velocity v?.
    (a) (mv)2           (b) mv2                    (c) 1/2 mv2                   (d) mv
    Answer: (d) mv

    Question 10.Using a horizontal force of 200 N, we intend to move a wooden cabinet across a floor at a constant
    velocity. What is the friction force that will be exerted on the cabinet?
    Answer:

    As the wooden cabinet moves across the floor at a constant velocity and the force applied is 200 N. Hence the
    frictional force that will be exerted on the cabinet will be less than 200 N.

    Question 11.Two objects each of mass 1.5 kg, are moving in the same straight line but in opposite directions. The
    velocity of each object is 2.5 ms-1 before the collision during which they stick together. What will be the velocity of
    the combined object after collision?
    Answer:

    Question 12. According to the third law of motion when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with
    an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move.
    A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this
    logic and explain why the truck does not move.
    Answer: The mass of truck is too large and hence its inertia is too high. The small force exerted on the truck cannot
    move it and the truck remains at rest. For the truck to attain motion, an external large amount of unbalanced force
    need to be exerted on it.
    Question 13. A hockey ball of mass 200 g travelling at 10 ms -1 is struck by a hockey stick so as to return it along its
    original path with a velocity at 5 ms-1. Calculate the change of momentum occurred in the motion of the hockey
    ball by the force applied by the hockey stick.
    Answer:

    Question 14. A bullet of mass 10 p travelling horizontally with a velocity of 150 m -1 strikes a stationary wooden
    block and comes to rest in 0.03 s. Calculate the distance of penetration of the bullet into the block. Also calculate
    the magnitude of the force exerted by the wooden block on the bullet.

    Answer:
    Question 15. An object of mass 1 kg travelling in a straight line with a velocity of 10 ms -1 collides with, and sticks
    to, a stationary wooden block of mass 5 kg. Then they both move off together in the same straight line. Calculate
    the total momentum just before the impact and just after the before the impact and just after the impact. Also,
    calculate the velocity of the combined object.
    Answer:

    Question 16. An object of mass 100 kg is accelerated uniformly from a velocity of 5 ms -1 to 8 ms-1 in 6 s. Calculate
    the initial and final momentum of the object. Also, find the magnitude of the force exerted on the object.

    Answer:
    Question 17. Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an
    expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Akhtar and Kiran started
    pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as
    compared to the change in momentum of the motorcar (because the change in the velocity of insect was much
    more than that of the motorcar). Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted
    a larger force on the insect. And as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said
    that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a change in their momentum. Comment on
    these suggestions.
    Answer: Rahul gave the correct reasoning and explanation that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the
    same force and a change in their momentum. As per the law of conservation of momentum.
    When 2 bodies collide:
    Initial momentum before collision = Final momentum after collision
    m1 u1+ m2 u2 = m1 v1+ m2 v2
    The equal force is exerted on both the bodies but, because the mass of insect is very small it will suffer greater
    change in velocity.

    Question 18. How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer to the floor if it falls from a height of
