Acceleration of the block: Given:


 Mass (m) = 2 kg

 Time (t) = 1.5 s We'll use the kinematic equation: 𝑑=12𝑎𝑡2d=21at2


 Vertical distance (d) = 1.2 m

Solving for acceleration (a): 𝑎=2𝑑𝑡2=2×1.21.52≈1.6 m/s2a=t22d=1.522×1.2


≈1.6m/s2 So, the closest option is (D) 1.4 m/s².
2. Horizontal distance traveled by the ball: Given:
 Length of string (r) = 0.8 m
 Height above the floor (h) = 0.2 m

Range=𝑣2𝑔Range=gv2 where 𝑔g is the acceleration due to gravity.


 Speed (v) = 5 m/s We can use the formula for the range of a projectile:

Substituting the values: Range=529.8≈2.55 mRange=9.852≈2.55m But since


the bottom of the circle is 0.2 m above the floor, the horizontal distance
traveled by the ball before striking the floor is 2.55−0.2=2.352.55−0.2=2.35
meters. So, the closest option is (B) 2.3 m.
3. Acceleration due to gravity on the planet: Given:
 Initial velocity (u) = 2 m/s

 Time (t) = 2 s We can use the equation of motion: 𝑠=𝑢𝑡+12𝑔𝑡2s=ut+21


 Height (h) = 6 m

gt2 Solving for acceleration (g): 𝑔=2(ℎ−𝑢𝑡)𝑡2=2(6−2×2)22=84=2


m/s2g=t22(h−ut)=222(6−2×2)=48=2m/s2 So, the correct option is (B) 2 m/s².

changes direction when the velocity changes sign, which happens at 𝑡=8t=8 s
4. Time at which the cart changes direction: Looking at the graph, the cart

and 𝑡=36t=36 s. So, the correct option is (B) 8 s and 36 s.

I'll continue with the other problems if you want! Just let me know.

5. Total time for the projectile to strike the ground: Given:


 Initial height (h) = 20 m
 Horizontal distance (range) = 80 m

kinematic equation for vertical motion: ℎ=𝑣0𝑦𝑡−12𝑔𝑡2h=v0y


 Initial velocity (v) = 40 m/s at an angle of 60° We can use the

t−21gt2 Where 𝑣0𝑦v0y is the initial vertical velocity, 𝑔g is


𝑡t is the time. Solving for time:
𝑡=𝑣0𝑦+𝑣0𝑦2+2𝑔ℎ𝑔t=gv0y+v0y2+2gh
acceleration due to gravity, and

𝑣0𝑦=𝑣sin⁡(𝜃)=40×sin⁡(60∘)=34.64 m/sv0y
=vsin(θ)=40×sin(60∘)=34.64m/s Substituting values:
𝑡=34.64+34.642+2×9.8×209.8≈4.4 st=9.834.64+34.642+2×9.8×20≈4.4s So,
the closest option is (B) 4 s.
6. Height at which the cup should be hung: Given:

 Launch angle (𝜃θ) = 30° We can find the maximum height


 Initial speed (v) = 8 m/s

reached by the ball using the kinematic equation for vertical


ℎmax=𝑣2sin⁡2𝜃2𝑔hmax=2gv2sin2θ
ℎmax=82×sin⁡2(30∘)2×9.8≈1 mhmax=2×9.882×sin2(30∘)≈1m So, the cup
motion:

should be hung 1 meter above the floor. Therefore, the closest


option is (C) 1.0 m.
7. Displacement of the rider between 0 and 4 hours: The
displacement is given by the area under the velocity-time graph. Since
the graph forms a triangle with base 4 hours and height 10 km/h, the
displacement is 12×4×10=2021×4×10=20 km. So, the closest option is

8. Displacement of the car at 𝑡=6t=6 s: The car travels at a constant


(B) +20 km.

velocity of 20 m/s for 2 seconds, covering 20×2=4020×2=40 meters.

equation 𝑑=𝑢𝑡+12𝑎𝑡2d=ut+21at2: 𝑑=40+(20×4)+12(−4)


Then, it decelerates at −4 m/s2−4m/s2 for the next 4 seconds. Using the

(42)=40+80−32=88 md=40+(20×4)+21(−4)(42)=40+80−32=88m So, the


closest option is (E) 88 m.
9. Time required for the plane to fly north: The plane has to cover a
distance of 100 km northwards with a speed of 200 km/h. The
crosswind doesn't affect the time it takes to fly northward. Therefore,
the time required is: Time=DistanceSpeed=100 km200 km/h=0.5
hours=12 hourTime=SpeedDistance=200km/h100km=0.5hours=21hour So, the
closest option is (B) ½ hour.
10. Horizontal velocity of the rock: Both the ball and the rock fall
freely under gravity. The time it takes for them to fall is the same. We
can use the formula for horizontal distance:
Horizontal distance=Horizontal velocity×TimeHorizontal distance=Horiz
ontal velocity×Time Since both objects fall for the same time, the
horizontal distance is the same for both. Therefore, the horizontal

initial velocity of the ball, which is: 𝑣𝑥=𝑣cos⁡(𝜃)=40×cos⁡(60∘)=20


velocity of the rock is the same as the horizontal component of the

m/svx=vcos(θ)=40×cos(60∘)=20m/s So, the closest option is (C) 20 m/s.


11. Involving a net force: I. A ball on the end of a string travels in
circular motion - True, because circular motion requires a centripetal
force. II. A space probe travels with a constant velocity in a straight
line between planets - False, because constant velocity implies no net
force. III. An object has a constant horizontal velocity, but a decreasing
vertical velocity - True, because it indicates acceleration due to
gravity, which is a net force. So, the correct option is (D) I and III only.
12. Acceleration of the 2 kg block: Since the system is connected

both blocks. We can use Newton's second law: 𝐹=𝑚𝑎F=ma


by a string over a light pulley, the acceleration will be the same for
𝑇−𝑚𝑔=𝑚𝑎T−mg=ma where 𝑇T is the tension in the string and
𝑚m is the total mass. Solving for acceleration (a):
a=mT−g

Apologies for the unexpected disruption! Let's continue with the last few
problems:

𝑎=𝑇𝑚−𝑔a=mT−g

Given that the mass of the system is 𝑚=2+1=3m=2+1=3 kg and the tension
in the string is equal to the weight of the hanging mass ( 𝑇=𝑚𝑔T=mg), we
can substitute these values into the equation:

𝑎=𝑚𝑔𝑚−𝑔=𝑔−𝑔=0a=mmg−g=g−g=0

So, the acceleration of the 22 kg block is 0 m/s20m/s2. Therefore, the closest


option is (A) 0 m/s20m/s2.

13. Which statement is true? The correct statement is (C) "The


tension is the same in both cords."
14. Tension in the horizontal cord: Since the tension in the

weight is 𝑚𝑔mg, where 𝑚=2m=2 kg, 𝑔g is the acceleration due to


horizontal cord is the same as the weight of the hanging mass, and the

𝑇horizontal=𝑚𝑔=2×9.8=19.6 NThorizontal
gravity, we have:
=mg=2×9.8=19.6N So, the correct option is (D) twice as much as the
tension in the slanted cord.

the coefficient of 𝑡t in the equation 𝑣=𝑐+𝑏𝑡3v=c+bt3. Therefore, the


15. Initial velocity of the mass: The initial velocity of the mass is

𝑏 𝑡bt.
𝑇T: The net force is
correct option is (E)

given by 𝐹=𝑚𝑎F=ma. The expression 𝑣=𝑐+𝑏𝑡3v=c+bt3 represents


16. Net force acting on the mass at time

velocity, not acceleration. Therefore, the correct option is (A)


3𝑚𝑏𝑇3mbT.
17. Acceleration of the 22 kg block: Since all the blocks

mass according to Newton's second law (𝐹=𝑚𝑎F=ma), the


experience the same force and the force is directly proportional to

acceleration of the 22 kg block will be less than that of the 11 kg block


and greater than that of the 33 kg block. Therefore, the closest option
is (D) 6 m/s26m/s2.
18. Force that the 22 kg block exerts on the 11 kg block:
According to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the 22 kg block
on the 11 kg block is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to
the force exerted by the 11 kg block on the 22 kg block. Since the
force applied to the 11 kg block is 2424 N, the force applied to the 22
kg block is also 2424 N. Therefore, the correct option is (D) 24 N24N.

using the formula 𝜇=tan⁡(𝜃)μ=tan(θ), where 𝜃θ is the angle of the


19. Coefficient of friction: The coefficient of friction can be found

𝜃=30∘θ=30∘, we get:
𝜇=tan⁡(30∘)=13≈0.577μ=tan(30∘)=31≈0.577 So, the closest option is (E)
incline. Substituting

0.60.6.
20. Time at which the net force acting on the mass is zero:
The net force acting on the mass is zero when the acceleration is zero.
Since acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time, the
acceleration is zero when the velocity is constant. Therefore, the net
force acting on the mass is zero at a time when the velocity is

we differentiate the equation 𝑦=8𝑡−4𝑡2+𝑡3y=8t−4t2+t3 with respect


constant, which is at the time of maximum velocity. To find this time,

this equation gives 𝑡=43t=34 seconds. Therefore, the closest option is


to time and set it equal to zero to find the maximum velocity. Solving

(B) 4334 seconds.
