Section – E
Case Study
All questions are compulsory. In case of internal choice, attempt any one.
Que.34 An object released near the surface of the Earth is accelerated downward under
the influence of the force of gravity. The magnitude of acceleration due to gravity is
represented by g. If air resistance is neglected, the object is said to be in free fall. If the
height through which the object falls is small compared to the earth's radius, g can be
taken to be constant equal to 9.8 m/s²
Free fall is thus a case of motion with uniform acceleration. We assume that the motion
is in y-direction, more correctly in -y-direction because we choose upward direction as
positive. Since the acceleration due to gravity is always downward, it is in the negative
direction and we have a = - g = - 9.8 m s ^ - 2 The object is released from rest at y =
0.Therefore, v {0} = 0 and the equations of motion become
v = 0 - gt ⇒ - 9.8m/s
y = 0 - ½ gt² ⇒ - 4.9t² m
v² = 0 - 2gy ⇒ - 19.6y m²/s²
These equations give the velocity and the distance travelled as a function of time and
also the variation of velocity with distance. (4)
1) Suppose you hold a book in one hand and a flat sheet of paper in another hand. You
drop them both, and they fall to the ground. The falling book is a good example of free
fall, but the paper is not because-
a) The book is significantly affected by the air
b) The paper is relatively more affected by gravity.
c) Free fall is the motion of an object when gravity is the only significant force on it. The
paper is significantly affected by the air, but the book is not.
d) None of the above
2) Suppose you throw a ball straight up into the air One correct option IS-
a) Velocity is reduced at a constant rate as the ball travels upward.
b) At its highest point, velocity is zero.
c) As the ball begins to drop, the velocity begins to increase in the negative direction.
d) All of the above
3) A stone that starts at rest is in free fall for 8.0 s. The stone's velocity after 8.0 s will be
a) 78.4 m/s downward b) 108 m/s downward
c) 118 m/s downward d) 97 m/s downward
4) A stone that starts at rest is in free fall for 8.0 s. The stone's displacement during this
time will be-
a) 510.4m downward b) 800.5 m downward
c) 100.2 m downward d) 313.6m downward

Que35. The first law refers to the simple case when the net external force on a body is
zero. The second law of motion refers to the general situation when there is a net
external force acting on the body.
It relates the net external force to the acceleration of the body.
The following common experiences indicate the importance of momentum for
considering the effect of force on motion.
"Suppose a light-weight vehicle (say a small car) and a heavy weight vehicle (say a
loaded truck) are parked on a horizontal road. We all know that a much greater force is
needed to push the truck than the car to bring them to the same speed at the same time.
Similarly, a greater opposing force is needed to stop a heavy body than a light body at
the same time, if they are moving with the same speed.
*Speed is another important parameter to consider. A bullet fired by a gun can easily
pierce human tissue before it stops, resulting in casualty. The same bullet fired with
moderate speed will not cause much damage. Thus for a given mass, the greater the
speed, the greater is the opposing force needed to stop the body in a certain time. The
greater the change in the momentum in a given time, the greater is the force that needs
to be applied. (4)
1) Momentum of a body is defined to be the product of
a) its mass and velocity square b) its mass and acceleration
c) its mass and velocity d) its mass and applied force
2) The rate of a change of a particle's momentum p is given by the force acting on the
particle, refers to-
a) Newton's first law of motion b) Newton's second law of motion
c) Newton's third law of motion d) None of the above
3) A bullet of mass 0.04 kg moving with a speed of 90 m s^-1 enters a heavy wooden
block and is stopped after a distance of 60 cm. The average resistive force exerted by the
block on the bullet is-
a) 270 N b) 450 N c) 375N d) 540 N
4) The motion of a particle of mass m is described by y = ut + 1/2gt^2 The force acting
on the particle will be-
a. mg/4 b. mg/2 c. mgd. 4mg
