Payal Choudhary answered |
The concept of inertia is a fundamental concept in physics. It is defined as the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. In other words, it is the property of an object that causes it to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. The correct option among the given options is option D, which states that inertia is directly proportional to the mass of an object.
Explanation:
Direct Proportionality to Mass:
Inertia is directly proportional to the mass of an object. This means that the greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia. This can be explained using Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
For example, consider a small ball and a large ball. If we push both balls with the same force, the small ball will move faster than the large ball because it has less mass. This is because the large ball has more inertia, and it requires more force to put it in motion.
The Importance of Inertia:
Inertia is an important concept in physics, and it has many practical applications. For example, it is the reason why seat belts are important in cars. When a car suddenly stops, the passengers continue to move forward due to their inertia. The seat belt applies an external force that stops the passengers from moving forward and prevents injuries.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It is directly proportional to the mass of an object. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia. Inertia has many practical applications in everyday life and is a fundamental concept in physics.

Jaitavi answered |
No external force is being applied on that moving object. If no force is applied then it will continue doing it's work. Just like in the question they have asked, it was moving in a straight line, so no external force is applied that's why it is moving in the same sped in a straight line.

Aditya Shah answered |
Change in momentum = mv - mu
When m = 7000kg, v= 200m/s, u = 100 m/s
Now, 700 * 200 - 700 x 100 = 140000 - 70000 = 70000 kg. m/s
When m = 7000kg, v= 200m/s, u = 100 m/s
Now, 700 * 200 - 700 x 100 = 140000 - 70000 = 70000 kg. m/s

Aditya Shah answered |
To find the time taken for the body to come to rest, we can use the formula derived from Newton's second law:
F=ma
where:
- F is the force applied,
- m is the mass of the body,
- a is the acceleration.
First, we calculate the acceleration:
The body is initially moving with a velocity of 10 m/s and will come to rest, so the final velocity v=0v = 0v=0.
Using the equation of motion:
v=u+at
where:
- v is the final velocity (0 m/s),
- u is the initial velocity (10 m/s),
- a is the acceleration (-0.25 m/s²) (negative because the force is acting opposite to the direction of motion),
- t is the time taken.
Substitute the values:
0=10+(−0.25)t
0.25t=10
So, the time taken by the body to come to rest is 40 seconds.
Answer: 3 (40 s)

Sagarika Tiwari answered |
Explanation:
The cushioned bed or mat used in high jump competition serves the purpose of decreasing the impact of the athlete's landing. When the athlete jumps over the bar, he gains a significant amount of momentum due to his speed and upward thrust. The cushioned bed helps to decrease this momentum gradually, thereby reducing the impact of the landing.
Increase the time to stop:
By decreasing the momentum gradually, the cushioned bed increases the time taken for the athlete to come to a complete stop. This is important because if the athlete were to land on a hard surface, the sudden stop could cause injuries to his joints and muscles. By increasing the time taken to stop, the cushioned bed reduces the risk of injury.
Conclusion:
Thus, option C, i.e., "Increase the time to stop" is the correct answer. The cushioned bed in high jump competition is designed to decrease the impact of the athlete's landing by reducing his momentum gradually and increasing the time taken to stop.

Amit Sharma answered |
If we consider the situation when force is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum. I.e Force = (change in momentum)(time interval)
then, change in momentum = Force * (time interval).
Therefore, the unit for momentum can be Newton - second (Ns)
then, change in momentum = Force * (time interval).
Therefore, the unit for momentum can be Newton - second (Ns)

Momentum is a vector quantity. For a particle with mass, the momentum equals mass times velocity, and velocity is a vector quantity while mass is a scalar quantity. A scalar multiplied by a vector is a vector. A moving body would be a particle with a mass.

Force - force of friction = mass × acceleration
250 - f = 30 × 4
f = 250 - 120

250 - f = 30 × 4
f = 250 - 120
= 130N

Newton's First Law of Motion
Newton's first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia. It states that a body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by some external force. This means that if an object is at rest, it will stay at rest, and if it is moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will continue to do so unless something else interferes.
Explanation
The first law of motion is based on the concept of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. In other words, an object will continue to do what it is doing unless something else makes it change. This can be seen in everyday life when you try to push a stationary object, such as a heavy box. It will not move unless you apply a force to it.
Similarly, if an object is already in motion, it will keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed unless some external force acts upon it. For example, if you slide a hockey puck across the ice, it will keep moving until it hits something or is acted upon by another force, such as friction.
Conclusion
Newton's first law of motion is a fundamental concept in physics. It explains how objects behave when no external forces are acting upon them. By understanding this law, scientists and engineers can design better machines and devices, and also predict how objects will behave in various situations.

Amit Sharma answered |
Newton’s third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.
The objects interact. The action and reaction force always act on different objects. Two forces acting on the same object, even if they have the same magnitude and point in opposite directions, never form an action-reaction pair.

Vikram Khanna answered |
Mass of the ball, m = 0.5 kg
Initial velocity, u = 10 m/s
Initial momentum = mu = 0.5 x 10 = 5 kg m/s
At the highest point, velocity of ball is zero.
So, momentum of the ball 0.5 x 0 = 0.

Since the change takes place in the same time: ratio of force needed to stop the balls is equal to the ratio of their momentum.

Gaurav Kumar answered |
According to Newton’s second law of motion, also known as the Law of Force and Acceleration, a force upon an object's causes it to accelerate according to the formula:
Net force = mass x acceleration.
Net force = mass x acceleration.
So, the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass.

**Explanation:**
To understand why the correct answer is option 'D' (0 N), let's analyze the forces acting on the object:
1. **Weight:** The weight of the object is the force due to gravity acting vertically downwards. It can be calculated using the equation: Weight = mass x gravitational acceleration. In this case, the weight would be 2 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 19.6 N.
2. **Normal force:** The normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. When an object is on a horizontal table, the normal force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the weight of the object. So, the normal force in this case would also be 19.6 N.
3. **Frictional force:** The frictional force acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the object. It can be calculated using the equation: Frictional force = coefficient of friction x normal force. However, since the object is sliding with a constant velocity, we can conclude that the frictional force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force applied to keep the object moving with the same velocity. Therefore, the frictional force in this case is 0 N.
Now, let's consider the forces in the horizontal direction:
- Since the object is sliding with a constant velocity, the net force acting on it must be zero. This means that the force required to keep the object moving with the same velocity must be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the frictional force.
- As mentioned earlier, the frictional force is 0 N in this case, so the force required to keep the object moving with the same velocity is also 0 N.
- Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' (0 N).
Overall, the object is able to maintain a constant velocity of 4 m/s on the frictional horizontal table without any external force acting on it.

When a vehicle accelerates and suddenly applies a break we possess what we call inertia. And when it suddenly applies a break we tend to retain that Velocity so we fall backwards thus satisfying the law of inertia or what is also called Newton's first law of motion.

Neeharika Shah answered |
Action and Reaction Forces
Action and reaction forces are two forces that are always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. These forces always act on different objects. Let's understand this concept in detail.
Action Force
An action force is a force that occurs when one object exerts force on another object. This force can be a push, pull, or any other force that one object exerts on another. For example, when you push a table, you are applying an action force on the table.
Reaction Force
A reaction force is a force that occurs when an object exerts force back on the object that applied the action force. This force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the action force. For example, when you push a table, the table exerts a reaction force back on you.
Key Points
- Action and reaction forces always act on different objects.
- They are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
- They are always present in pairs.
- They occur simultaneously.
Incorrect Statement
The incorrect statement is option 'D', which says that action and reaction forces act on the same object. This statement is incorrect because action and reaction forces always act on different objects. When one object exerts force on another object, the second object exerts a reaction force back on the first object. For example, when you jump off a diving board, you exert a force on the board, and the board exerts a reaction force back on you. These forces always act on different objects.
Conclusion
In conclusion, action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. They always act on different objects and occur simultaneously. It is essential to understand this concept because it is a fundamental principle of physics that explains how objects move and interact with each other.

This is due to inertia of rest of upper part of the passengers body when the bus or train suddenly starts moving, The lower part of the passenger’s body starts moving along with the bus or train while the upper part of the body has a tendency to remain in the state of rest due to inertia of rest, and hence falls backwards.

- The question states an accelerated motion of an object along a straight line, this implies a non zero force is acting on the object, which is increasing its velocity and speed.
- However the direction of force is not given so it can’t be determined that it is moving away from the earth, Hence the correct answer is C.

When the mass of a body increases while keeping the force constant, the acceleration of the body is likely to decrease. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when force is constant, as described by Newton's second law of motion (F = ma).
- Explanation:
- Increase: Incorrect, as mass and acceleration are inversely proportional when force is constant.
- Remain same: Incorrect, as acceleration changes with mass.
- Decrease: Correct. With increased mass, acceleration decreases.
- Sometimes increases and sometimes decreases: Incorrect; acceleration consistently decreases with increased mass.

- While catching a fast moving cricket ball, a fielder in the ground gradually pulls his hand backward with the moving ball, in doing so, the fielder increases the time during which the high velocity of the moving ball decrease to zero.
- This, the acceleration of the ball is decreased and therefore, the impact of catching the fast moving ball is also reduced.

Arvind Singh answered |
Inertia is the property of the body by virtue of which it resists any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion.
Inertia depends upon the mass of the object.
If the mass of a body is more, it will have more inertia.
As the mass of the plate, all and the child is the same, they all will have the same inertia.
Thus, the correct option is the same inertia for all due to the same mass.

Manisha Tiwari answered |
**Explanation:**
Let's assume the first body has mass m1 and the second body has mass m2.
**Newton's Second Law:**
According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on a body is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration.
Mathematically, it can be represented as:
F = m * a
where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
**Given Information:**
In the first body, the force F produces an acceleration a.
In the second body, the same force F produces an acceleration 4a.
**Solution:**
We can write the equations for the first body and the second body as follows:
For the first body:
F = m1 * a
For the second body:
F = m2 * (4a)
Comparing the two equations, we can see that the force F is the same in both cases. Therefore, we can equate the two equations:
m1 * a = m2 * (4a)
Simplifying the equation:
m1 = 4m2
This equation shows that the mass of the first body (m1) is four times the mass of the second body (m2). Therefore, the correct answer is option B - the mass of the second body is four times less than the mass of the first body.
**Conclusion:**
The correct answer is option B - the mass of the second body is four times less than the mass of the first body.
Let's assume the first body has mass m1 and the second body has mass m2.
**Newton's Second Law:**
According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on a body is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration.
Mathematically, it can be represented as:
F = m * a
where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
**Given Information:**
In the first body, the force F produces an acceleration a.
In the second body, the same force F produces an acceleration 4a.
**Solution:**
We can write the equations for the first body and the second body as follows:
For the first body:
F = m1 * a
For the second body:
F = m2 * (4a)
Comparing the two equations, we can see that the force F is the same in both cases. Therefore, we can equate the two equations:
m1 * a = m2 * (4a)
Simplifying the equation:
m1 = 4m2
This equation shows that the mass of the first body (m1) is four times the mass of the second body (m2). Therefore, the correct answer is option B - the mass of the second body is four times less than the mass of the first body.
**Conclusion:**
The correct answer is option B - the mass of the second body is four times less than the mass of the first body.

Momentum is a word you're probably very familiar with. Often, you'll hear that something is gaining or gathering momentum. It might be an actual moving object or it might be used more metaphorically like with a sports team. But have you ever taken a moment to think what, exactly, momentum means?
Momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body. In a basic sense, the more momentum a moving object has, the harder it is to stop. This is why you see the term used metaphorically like in the example of the sports team. It means the team is on a roll (generally, a winning streak) and is becoming a stronger team for it. The other teams will have a harder time stopping the team gaining momentum.

Momentum = mass x velocity
Therefore in first case momentum = 2m x 5v = 10mv
Therefore in second case momentum = 8m x 1.25v = 10mv
Thus in both the cases momentum is the same, so, Ratio is 1:1

Jyoti Kapoor answered |
Mass of ball: m= 40 g = 0.040kg
resistive force: F = -16 N
thus resistive acceleration, a = F/m (because force, F= ma)
thus a = -400m/s2
initial velocity, u = 24m/s
final velocity, v = 0m/s
Thus according to first equation of motion, v = u+at (t=timetaken)
t= 0.06s

A large force that acts in a very short duration of time is reffered to as impulsive force. This force which is large due to a high speed such as kick of a football may be disastrous as the momentum change is large and hence a goalkeeper holds his hand backwards in order to reduce the force exerted on his hands.
