1. In the lecture Let us be non inertial, we took a water filled plastic box and
suspended a ball from its lid. The box was linearly accelerated and we discussed
the motion of the ball from the frame of the box. The pseudo force on the ball
was taken as Fp = -ma. Here
A.
B.
C.
D.
D. the force due to water on the ball has a horizontal component towards
right
3. A box moves downwards with an acceleration g. A pendulum with ball A is put
up in the box and another pendulum with ball B is put up outside the box as
suggested in the figure. As observed from the box frame,
horizontal line. Though their locations are not known but it is given that the point
A is to the left of B in the figure. Pressures at A and B are denoted by P(A) and
P(B).
A.
B.
C.
D.
8. A football match is being played at a field situated at equator (Here the northsouth direction is parallel to the axis of earths rotation). A player hits the ball
which moves straight along the ground in north direction. From the earth's
frame,
A. the centrifugal force is nonzero but the coriolis force is zero
B. the centrifugal force is zero but the coriolis force is nonzero
C. the centrifugal force and coriolis force are both zero
D. the centrifugal force and the coriolis force are both nonzero
9. A block slips on a table fixed in the lab.
A. The block exerts a frictional force on the table but the table does not exert
any frictional force on the block.
B. The table exerts a frictional force on the block but the block does not exert
any frictional force on the table.
C. The table and the block, both exert frictional forces on each other and their
directions are opposite.
D. The table and the block, both exert frictional forces on each other and their
directions are same.
10. A physics teacher is performing Card-coin experiment in the class. The card is
flicked and the coin falls in the tumbler. The appropriate explanation of this event
would be:
A. Because of the principle of inertia, the coin remains at its position and the
card goes away making the coin fall in the tumbler.
B. As seen from the tumbler frame, there is a pseudo force that prevents the
coin to go with the card and hence the coin falls in the tumbler.
C. Due to the frictional force on the coin by the card, the coin moves in the
backward direction, but the displacement is not large and hence the coin
falls in the tumbler.
D. Due to the frictional force on the coin by the card, the coin moves in the
forward direction. But the displacement is not large and hence the coin falls
in the tumbler.
11. In the card-coin experiment, the performer wants to ensure that the coin falls
in the tumbler. She should
A. take a long card
B. take a heavy card
C. take a smooth card
D. flick the card strongly
12. In the match box-coin experiment shown in the lecture Be with me :
Friction, the coin comes out of the match box because
A. the match box remains at rest and the coin moves up
B. the match box moves down and the coin remains at rest
C. the match box and the coin, both move down but the coin moves less than
the match box
D. the match box and the coin both move up but the coin moves more than
the match box
13. A wheel is rolling without slipping on a horizontal surface as suggested in the
figure. The center moves towards right. A and B are two points on a vertical
diameter at a certain instant. Point A is below the center and B is above the
center. At this instant
A.
B.
C.
D.
14. A cylinder is rolling on a long box. The box translates on the floor with a
velocity v1 towards right. The velocity of the point of the wheel in contact with
the box is
A.
B.
C.
D.
v1 towards right
v1 towards left
zero
2v1 towards right
15. A spherical ball starts rolling down an inclined plane. The time taken by the
ball to move through a length L on the inclined plane
A. depends on the density of the ball
B. depends on the radius of the ball
C. does not depend on the density of the ball
D. does not depend on the radius of the ball
16. A cylinder rolls on surface S1 and also on surface S2 at the same time as
suggested in the figure. The cylinder moves towards right.
A.
B.
C.
D.
17. A ball A is tied to a string. The other end of the string is fixed and the ball is
rotated in a circle like a conical pendulum. The center of the circle is B. The
angular velocity of the pendulum
A.
B.
C.
D.
is along BO
is along AO
is along AB
does not have a direction
18. Which of the following quantities are defined with respect to a chosen point?
A. Weight
