1. A student attempts to pull himself up by tugging on his hair. He will not succeed
a) As the force exerted is small
b) The frictional force while gripping, is small
c) Newton's law of inertia is not applicable to living beings
d) As the force applied is internal to the system
Explanation: As by an internal force momentum of the system can not be changed.
2. A man is standing at the centre of frictionless pond of ice. How can he get himself to the shore
a) By throwing his shirt in vertically upward direction
b) By spitting horizontally
c) He will wait for the ice to melt in pond
d) Unable to get at the shore
Explanation: By spitting horizontally
3. A lift is going up. The total mass of the lift
and the passenger is 1500 kg. The variation in
the speed of the lift is as given in the graph. The
tension in the rope pulling the lift at t = 11th sec
will be
a) 17400 N
b) 14700 N
c) 12000 N
d) Zero
Explanation:
4. A jet plane flies in the air because
a) The gravity does not act on bodies moving with high speeds
b) The thrust of the jet compensates for the force of gravity
c) The flow of air around the wings causes an upward force, which compensates for the force of gravity
d) The weight of air whose volume is equal to the volume of the plane is more than the weight of the plane
Explanation: The thrust of the jet compensates for the force of gravity
5. A player caught a cricket ball of mass 150 gm moving at a rate of 20 m/s. If the catching process be completed in 0.1 s, then the force of the blow
