The change in momentum (final momentum-initial momentum) is (in kg m s1) (a) zero (b) (0.45i + 0.6j) (c) (0.9i +1.2j) (d) 5(i + j) . iv) A ball is travelling with uniform translatory motion. This means that (a) it is at rest. (b) the path can be a straight line or circular and the ball travels with uniform speed. (c) all parts of the ball have the same velocity (magnitude and direction) and the velocity is constant. (d) the centre of the ball moves with constant velocity and the ball spins about its centre uniformly. v) A metre scale is moving with uniform velocity. This implies (a) the force acting on the scale is zero, but a torque about the centre of mass can act on the scale. (b) the force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about centre of mass of the scale is also zero. (c) the total force acting on it need not be zero but the torque on it is zero. (d) neither the force nor the torque need to be zero. The Scholars Hub- Girish Park Centre F.M-50

2) Answer the Following: a) A girl riding a bicycle along a straight road with a speed of 5 m s1throws a stone of mass 0.5 kg which has a speed of 15 m s1 withrespect to the ground along her direction of motion. The mass ofthe girl and bicycle is 50 kg. Does the speed of the bicycle change after the stone is thrown? What is the change in speed, if so? (4) b) A block placed on a rough horizontal surface is pulled by ahorizontal force F. Let f be the force applied by the rough surface on the block. Plot a graph of f versus F. (3) c) Two masses of 5 kg and 3 kg are suspended with help of massless inextensible strings as shown in Fig. 5.6. Calculate T1 and T2 when whole system is going upwards with acceleration = 2 m s2 (use g = 9.8 m s2). (4)

d) Block A of weight 100 N rests on a frictionless inclinedplane of slope angle 30 (Fig. 5.7). A flexible cord attachedto A passes over a frictonless pulley and is connected to block B of weight W. Find the weight W for which the system is in equilibrium. (4)

e) Give examples of a one-dimensional motion where i) the particle moving along positive x-direction comes to rest periodically and moves forward. ii) the particle moving along positive x-direction comes to rest periodically and moves backward. (3) f) A ball is dropped and its displacement vs time graph isas shown Fig. 3.4 (displacement x is from ground and all quantities are +ve upwards).: (a) Plot qualitatively velocity vs time graph. (b) Plot qualitatively acceleration vs time graph. (4)

g) A motor car moving at a speed of 72km/h can not come to a stop in less than 3.0 s while for a truck this time interval is 5.0 s. On a higway the car is behind the truck both moving at 72km/h. The truck gives a signal that it is going to stop at emergency. At what distance the car should be from the truck so that it does not bump onto (collide with) the truck. Human response time is 0.5s.

h) A man is standing on top of a building 100 m high. He throws two balls vertically, one at t = 0 and other after a time interval (less than 2 seconds). The later ball is thrown at a velocity of half the first. The vertical gap between first and second ball is +15 m at t = 2 s. The gap is found to remain constant. Calculate the velocity with which the balls were thrown and the exact time interval between their throw. (4) i) A river flows due east at a speed 3m/s. A swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of 4m/s : a) if a swimmer starts due north what will be his resultant velocity; b) if he wants to start at point A on the south bank and reach opposite point B on the north bank: i) which direction should he swim; ii) what would be his resultant speed. c) from two different cases mentioned in (a) and (b) above..in which case would he reach the bank faster?
