N respectively,the smaller force is equal to
(a) 4N (b) 5N (c)3N (d) 2N
2. No force is required for
(a) an object moving in a straight line with constant velocity
(b) an object move with constant acceleration
(c) an object moving in circular motion
(d) an object moving in elliptical path
3.Dimensions of impulse are same as that of
(a) force (b) momentum (c ) energy (d)acceleration
4.Momentum is closely related to
(a) force (b)impulse (c)velocity (d)kinetic energy
5.State Newton's second law and show that impulse is equal to change in momentum.
6. When a moving bus suddenly stops , a person sitting in it falls forward. explain ,why?
7A .Cricket player lowers his hands while catching a ball. Explain with reason.
8.Show that Newton's second law of motion is the real law of motion.
9.A 30 kg shell is flying at 48m/s when it explodes, its one part of 18 kg stops, while the
remaining part flies on. Find the velocity of the later.
