Q.2 Give reasons for the following:
1.Wearing the seat belt reduces the possibility of injury during an automobile accident.
2.A passenger jumping out of a moving train falls forward.
3.An athlete runs a distance before taking a leap in the high jump.
4.Jumping on a cemented floor causes more injury than on a heap of sand.
5.Karate player can break a pile of tiles with a single blow of his hand.
6. Mud guards are used in vehicles.
Q.3 Solve the following numericals:
1. A constant retarding force of 200N is acting on a body of mass 50 kg moving initially with the
speed of 20 m/s. How long does the body take to stop?
2. What will be the change in acceleration of a sliding block, if its mass is doubled while a
constant force is acting on it?
3. A hammer of mass 500 g, moving at 50 m/s, strikes a nail. The nail stops the hammer in a very
short time of 0.01 s. What is the force of the nail on the hammer?
4. A of mass 1500 kg travelling at 25 m/s collides with another car B of mass 1000 kg travelling
at 15 m/s in the same direction. After the collision the velocity of car A becomes 20 m/s.
Calculate the velocity of car B after the collision.
