- A force acts for 10 s on a body of mass 10 kg after which the force ceases and the body describes 50 m in the next 5 s, Find the magnitude of the force. (Ans. 10 N) - A truck starts from rest and rolls down a hill with constant acceleration, It travels a distance of 400 m in 20 s. Calculate the acceleration and the force acting on it if its mass is 7 metric tonnes. (Ans. 2ms~, 14,000 N) . A force of 5 N gives a mass m, an acceleration of 8ms~ and a mass m, an acceleration of 24ms~. What acceleration would it give if both the masses are tied together ? (Ans. 6 ms) - In an X-ray machine, an electron is subjected to a force of 10 °° N.In how much time the electron will cover a distance of 0.1 m ? Take mass of the electron =10™ kg. (Ans. 1.4107 s) . A stone of mass 5 kg falls from top of a cliff 50 m high and buries 1 m in sand. Find the average resistance offered by the sand and the time it takes to penetrate. (Ans. 2450 N, 0.064 s) . Abullet of mass 100 g moving with 20 m/s strikes a wooden plank and penetrates upto 20 cm. Calculate the resistance offered by the wooden plank. [Delhi 96] (Ans. 100 N) . A motor car running at the rate of 7ms™! can be stopped by applying brakes in 10 m. Show that total resistance to the motion, when brakes are on, is one fourth of the weight of the car. . A force of 50 N is inclined to the vertical at an angle of 30°. Find the acceleration it produces in a body of mass 2 kg which moves in the horizontal direction. (Ans. 12.5 ms™) . Aship of mass 3 x 10” kg and initially at rest can be pulled through a distance of 3 m by means of a force of 5 x 10" N. The water resistance is negligible. Find the speed attained by the ship. ur «l 4 (Ans. 0.1 ms”)10. A balloon has a mass of 5 g in air. The air escapes from the balloon at a uniform rate with a velocity of 5cms~. If the balloon shrinks completely in 2.5 s, find the average force acting on the balloon. (Ans. 10 dyne)
