A particle moving with velocity v is acted by three forces shown by the vector triangle PQR. The velocity of the particle will [NEET 2019]
As the three forces are represented by three sides of a triangle forming a closed loop in the same order, then they will be in equilibrium and the net force is zero.
⇒Fnet =FPQ+FQR+FRP=0Fnet =m×a=mdvdt=0⇒dvdt=0

A stone is dropped from a height h. It hits the ground with a certain momentum P. If the same stone is dropped from a height 100% more than the previous height, the momentum when it hits the ground will change by [CBSE AIPMT 2012]
(c) Momentum P=mv=m√2gh (∴ v2=u2+2gh; Here u=0)
When the stone hits the ground its momentum,
P=m√2gh
when same stone dropped from 2h then momentum,

Average force acting on the wall will be given by
⇒Fxt=2mvsin30∘⇒F=2mvsin30∘t⇒F=2×0.52×12×12×0.25=24F=24 N

Acceleration =FM=−αv2M
Physical independence of force is a consequence of [CBSE AIPMT 1991]
(b) According to Newton’s first law of motion, a body continues to be in a state of rest or of uniform motion, unless it is acted upon by an external force to change the state. Hence, Newton’s first law of motion is related to the physical independence of force.

(a) The components of 1 N and 2 N forces along +x-axis =1cos60∘+2sin30∘ =1×12+2×12=12+1=32=1.5 N
The component of 4 N force along −x-axis =4sin30∘=4×12=2 N.
Therefore, if a force of 0.5 N is applied along +x axis, the resultant force along x-axis will become zero and the resultant force will be obtained only along y-axis.

(a) Maximum bearable tension in the rope T=25×10=250 N
From the figure below
T−mg=ma or acceleration a=T−mgm

Given,
m=1000 kg,a=1 m/s2,
g=9.8 m/s2
Thus, T=1000(9.8+1)=1000×10.8
=10800 N

[∵N=mg]
From the Free body diagram(FBD), the resultant force is
|F|=√N2+f2=√(mg)2+(μmg)2=mg√1+μ2
This is the minimum force required to move the object. But as the body is not moving

A block of mass m is placed on a smooth inclined wedge ABC of inclination θ as shown in the figure. The wedge is given an acceleration towards the right. The relation between a and θ for the block to remain stationary on the wedge is [NEET 2018]
Since the wedge is accelerating towards the right with a, thus a pseudo force acts in the left direction in order to keep the block stationary. As the system is in equilibrium.
∴ΣFx=0 or ΣFy=0⇒Rsinθ=ma or mgsinθ=ma…(i) Similarly, Rcosθ=mg
or mgcosθ=mg…(ii)
Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq (ii), we get
mgsinθmgcosθ=mamg⇒tanθ=ag

i.e. F=ma=mgsinθ−μR(f=μR) ∴ma=mgsinθ−μmgcosθ =mg(sinθ−μcosθ) Hence, a=g(sinθ−μcosθ) ∴ Time taken by body to slide down the plane t1=√2sa=√g(sinθ−μcosθ)
When friction is absent, then time taken to slide down the plane
t2=√2sgsinθ⇒∵t1=2t2 (given)
∴t21=4t22
or 2sg(sinθ−μcosθ)=2s×4gsinθ
or sinθ=4sinθ−4μcosθ
or μ=34tanθ=34tan45∘
∴μ=34=0.75

(c) T−mg=mv2r[ centripetal force ]=mv2r⇒T=mg+mv2r
As the velocity is maximum at the lowest point so tension is maximum at the lowest position of the mass. so, the chance of breaking is maximum.

(b) According to the question, a car is negotiating a curved road of radius R. The road is banked at angle θ and the coefficient of friction between the tires of the car and the road is μs. So, this given situation can be drawn as shown in the figure below.

(d) According to the question, we have
Let the tension at point A be TA. So, from Newton’s second law
TA−mg=mv2cR
Energy at point A=12mv20
Energy at point C is
12mv2c+mg×2R
Applying Newton’s 2nd law at point C
Tc+mg=mv2cR
To complete the loop Tc≥0
So, mg=mv2cR
⇒vc=√gR
From Eqs. (i) and (ii)by conservation of energy
12mv20=12mv2c+2mgR⇒12mv20=12mgR+2mgR×2⇒v20=gR+4gR⇒v0=√5gR

i.e., FC1=FC2
or, mv21r=2mv22(r/2) or, V21=4 V22
So, V1=2 V2 i.e., n=2

A body of mass 0.4 kg is whirled in a vertical circle making 2rev/sec. If the radius of the circle is 1.2 m, then tension in the string when the body is at the top of the circle, is [CBSE AIPMT 1999]
(a) Given : Mass m=0.4 kg
Its frequency n=2rev/sec
Radius r=1.2 m. We know that linear velocity of the body (v)=ωr=(2πn)r
=2×3.14×2×1.2=15.08 m/s.
Therefore, tension in the string when the body is at the top of the circle (T)
=mv2r−mg=0.4×(15.08)22−(0.4×9.8)=45.78−3.92=41.56 N

A ball of mass 0.15 kg is dropped from a height 10 m, strikes the ground and rebounds to the same height. The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball is nearly (g=10 m/s2) [NEET 2021]
(b) Given, the mass of the ball dropped from the height, m=0.15 kg
The height from the ball dropped,
h=10 m
We know that,
∣ mpulse |=m|Δˉv∣
where, Δˉv=v2−v1
Here, v2 is velocity reaches to the same height,
v1 is velocity just before striking to the ground.
For case (1), ball dropped from the 10 m height and strikes to the ground. Now, the velocity of the ball just before striking to the ground is
v1=−√2gh⇒v1=−√2(10)(10)⇒v1=−10√2 m/s For case (2) ball rebounds to the same height. The velocity with which the ball just reaches to the same height, v2=√2gh⇒v2=√2(10)(10)⇒v2=10√2 m/s
Now, magnitude of the impulse imparted to the ball,
|lmpulse ∣=m|Δˉv|=0.15|10√2−(−10√2)|=0.15|2×10√2|=4.2 kg−m/s

(c) According to the law of conservation of momentum, pi=pf
⇒(0.01)×400+0=2v+(0.01)v′… (i)
Also, velocity v of the block just after the collision is
v=√2gh=√2×10×0.1=√2…(ii) ⇒ From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have v′≈120 m/s
An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each other. The first part of mass 1 kg moves with a speed of 12 ms−1 and the second part of mass 2 kg moves with 8 ms−1 speed. If the third part flies off with 4 ms−1 speed, then its mass is [NEET 2013]
(b) Momentum is conserved before and after the collision.
We have, p1+p2+p3=0[∵p=mv]
∴1×12i+2×8j+p3=0⇒12ˆi+16ˆj+p3=0⇒p3=−(12i+16j)∴p3=√(12)2+(16)2=√144+256=20 kg−m/s Now, p3=m3v3⇒m3=p3v3=204=5 kg

(c) Here, p1=m2vi+m1×0
pf=m2v2ˆj+m1×v1
Law of conservation of momentum
pi=pfm2vˆi=m2v2ˆj+m1×v1v1=m2m1vˆi+m2m1v2ˆj
From this equation, we can find tanθ=yx=12,θ=tan−1(12) to the x-axis.
A man of 50 kg mass is standing in a gravity-free space at a height of 10 m above the floor. He throws a stone of 0.5 kg mass downwards with a speed 2 ms−1. When the stone reaches the floor, the distance of the man above the floor will be [CBSE AIPMT 2010]
(b) As, mr= constant
m1r1=m2r2
⇒r2=m1r1m2=0.5×1050=0.1
So, distance travelled by the man will be 10+0.1=10.1 m
An object of mass 3 kg is at rest. If a force F=(6t2ˆi+4tˆj)N is applied on the object, then the velocity of the object at t=3 s is [CBSE AIPMT 2002]
(b) According to Newton’s 2nd law, force applied on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum.
i.e. F=dpdt or F=mdvdt…(i)
Given, m=3 kg,t=3 s,F=(6t2ˆi+4tˆj)N
Substituting these values in Eq. (i), we get
(6t2ˆi+4tˆj)=3dvdt
or dv=13(6t2ˆi+4ˆj)dt
Now, taking integration of both sides, we get
∫dv=∫t013(6t2ˆi+4ˆj)dtv=13∫t0(6t2ˆi+4ˆj)dt
but t=3s (given) ∴v=13∫30(6t2ˆi+4ˆj)dtv=13[6t33ˆi+4t22ˆj]30v=13[2(3)3ˆi+2(3)2ˆj]v=13[54ˆi+18ˆj] or v=18ˆi+6ˆj
1 kg body explodes into three fragments. The ratio of their masses is 1:1:3. The fragments of the same mass move perpendicular to each other with speeds 30 m/s, while the heavier part remains in the initial direction. The speed of the heavier part is [CBSE AIPMT 2001]
(b) Apply conservation of momentum with direction.
Let u be the velocity and θ the direction of the third piece as shown.
The square of momentum of third piece is equal to sum of squares of momentum first and second pieces.
p23=p21+p22 or p3=√p21+p22 or 3mv3=√(m×30)2+(m×30)2 or v3=30√23=10√2 m/s
A particle of mass 1 kg is thrown vertically upwards with speed 100 m/s. After 5 s, it explodes into two parts. One part of mass 400 g comes back with speed 25 m/s, what is the speed of other part just after explosion? [CBSE AIPMT 2000]
(a) According to 1 st equation of motion, velocity of particle after 5 s
v=u−gtv=100−10×5=100−50=50 m/s (upwards)
Applying conservation of linear momentum gives
Mv=m1v1+m2v2…(i)
Taking upward direction positive, the velocity v1 will be negative.
∴v1=−25 m/s,v=50 m/s
Also, M=1 kg, m1=400 g=0.4 kg
and m2=(M−m1)=1−0.4=0.6 kg
Thus, Eq. (i) becomes,
1×50=0.4×(−25)+0.6v2 or 50=−10+0.6v2
or 0.6v2=60 or v2=600.6=100 m/s
As v2 is positive, therefore the other part will move upwards with a velocity of 100 m/s.

Here, initial velocity u=v, rate of change of mass dmdt=αv
As we know,
F=−vdmdt=−v(αv)=−αv2
Acceleration =FM=−αv2M

A block of mass 10 kg is placed on a rough horizontal surface having coefficient of friction μ=0.5. If a horizontal force of 100 N is applied on it, then the acceleration of the block will be ( Takeg =10 m/s2 ) [CBSE AIPMT 2002]
(c) Free body diagram of the block is
From Newton’s second law along X-axis
i.e. F−f=ma
or F−μmg=ma
or a=F−μmgm
Given, F=100 N,μ=0.5,m=10 kg,
g=10 m/s2
Substituting, the values in the above relation for the acceleration of block,
a=(100)−(0.5)(10)(10)(10)=5 m/s2
Consider, a car moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed of 72 km/h. If the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.5, the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is (Take g=10 m/s2 ) [CBSE AIPMT 1992]
(b) When static friction is present, then the acceleration of a body is given by a=−μg Here, initial velocity
u=72 km h−1=72×518=20 m/s
Final velocity v=0
∴a=−μg=−0.5×10=−5 m/s2

(d) According to given question, a uniform circular disc of radius 50 cm at rest is free to turn about an axis having perpendicular to its plane and passes through its centre.
∴ Angular acceleration, α=2 rad s −2 (given)
Angular speed, ω=αt=4rads−1
because Centripetal acceleration, ac=ω2r =(4)2×0.5
=16×0.5
ac=8 m/s2
because Linear acceleration at the end of 2 s,
at=αr=2×0.5⇒at=1 m/s2
Therefore, the net acceleration at the end of 2.0 s is given by
a=√a2c+a2ta=√(8)2+(1)2=√65⇒a≈8 m/s2
