Laws of Motion - Online Test

Q1. In which of the following cases is the net force zero
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

As no external fields like, electric,magnetic and gravitational field acting on electron the net force is zero

Q2. A pebble of mass 0.05 kg is thrown vertically upwards. Give the direction and magnitude of the net force on the pebble, during its upward motion, Ignore air resistance
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

F = mg = 0.05 x 10 = 0.5 N

Q3. A pebble of mass 0.05 kg is thrown vertically upwards. Give the direction and magnitude of the net force on the pebble, during its downward motion, Ignore air resistance
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

F = mg = 0.05 x 10 = 0.5 N downwards

Q4. A pebble of mass 0.05 kg is thrown vertically upwards. Give the direction and magnitude of the net force on the pebble, if the pebble was thrown at an angle of 45° with the horizontal direction, Ignore air resistance
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

F = mg = 0.05 x 10 = 0.5 N. The horizontal component of the velocity remain constant.

Q5. Neglecting air resistance, in which of the following cases the net force acting on a stone of mass 0.1 kg is not acting downward?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Weight of the stone is balanced by the reaction of the floor. The only acceleration is provided by the horizontal motion of the train.

a = 1ms-2

force in horizontal direction 

F = ma = 0.1 x 1 = 0.1N


Q6.

Give the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on a stone of mass 0.1 kg lying on the floor of a train which is accelerating with 1 m , the stone being at rest relative to the train. Neglect air resistance.



Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Weight of the stone is balanced by the reaction of the floor. The only acceleration is provided by the horizontal motion of the train.

a = 1ms-2

force in horizontal direction 

F = ma = 0.1 x 1 = 0.1N


Q7. One end of a string of length l is connected to a particle of mass m and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed v, T is the tension in the string, the net force on the particle directed towards the centre is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

According to Newton's third law of motion, the net force on a rotating particle is equal to Tension in the String. As the action (ie force towards the centre) and reaction (tension in the string) are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Q8.

A constant retarding force of 50 N is applied to a body of mass 20 kg moving initially with a speed of 15 m . How long does the body take to stop?


Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

F=mdvdtdt=mdvF=20×1550=6s
Q9. A constant force acting on a body of mass 3.0 kg changes its speed from 2.0 m  to 3.5 m  in 25 s. The direction of the motion of the body remains unchanged. What is the magnitude and direction of the force?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


 


Q10. A body of mass 5 kg is acted upon by two perpendicular forces 8 N and 6 N. Give the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the body.
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Let F1 = 8N & F2 = 6 N. 

then the resultant force is 

                                            =

                                           = 10N

The direction is determined as 

                                                          = 6/8

                             therefore
