SINGLE CORRECT TYPE

1. A car begins from rest at time t = 0, and then accelerates along a straight track during the interval
0 < t £ 2s and thereafter with constant velocity as shown in the graph. A coin is initially at rest on the
>floor of the car. At t = 1 sec, the coin begins to slip and its stops slipping at t = 3 sec. The coefficient of
>static friction between the floor and the coin is :

(A) 0.2 (B) 0.3 (C) 0.4 (D) 0.5

2. A 1kg block is being pushed against a wall by a force F = 75 N as shown in the Figure. The coefficient
of friction is 0.25. The magnitude of acceleration of the block is

3. Why do some transportation agencies spread a mixture of sand and salt on icy roads in winter?
(A) Sand decreases the frictional force between vehicle tires and the road, and salt lowers the melting
point of ice.
(B) Sand decreases the frictional force between vehicle tires and the road, and salt raises the melting
point of ice.
(C) Sand increases the frictional force between vehicle tires and the road, and salt lowers the melting
point of ice.
(D) Sand increases the frictional force between vehicle tires and the road, and salt raises the melting
point of ice.

8 sec.

8. A box is accelerating with acceleration = 20 m/s2. A block of mass 10 kg placed inside the box and is in
contact with the vertical wall as shown. The friction coefficient between the block and the wall is
m = 0.6 and take g = 10 m/s2S

(A) The acceleration of the block will be 20 m/s2

(B) The friction force acting on the block will be 100 N
(C) The contact force between the vertical wall and the block will be 100 5 N
(D) The contact force between the vertical wall and the block is only electromagnetic in nature

9. This is one of the oldest and most famous "brain twister" in classical physics. Which is/are correct?
(A) As action always equals reaction. The buggy pulls backward on the horse just as hard as the horse
pulls forward on the buggy. Both of them would not move forward if surface is frictionless
(B) The horse pulls forward slightly harder on the buggy than the buggy pulls backward on the horse, so
they move forward.
(C) The horse can pull the buggy forward only if the horse weights more than the buggy
(D) The force on the buggy by horse is as strong as the force on the horse by the buggy but still they both
move forward.
10. A block of mass 5 kg is kept on a rough horizontal surface (µ = 0.5). The block can be pulled horizontally
by an unknown force. The contact force between the surface and block can be :
>
(A) 50 N > (B) 25 N > (C) 75 N (D) 52 N
11. A block of mass m is placed on a smooth wedge. The wedge can be accelerated in four manners marked
as (1), (2), (3) and (4) as shown. If the normal reactions in situation (1), (2), (3) and (4) are N1, N2, N3
and N4 respectively and acceleration with which the block slides down relative to the wedge in situations
are b1, b2, b3 and b4 respectively then: [Take a < g]
