3 2:5 1
4 1800 1
5 ½ +½
E = ,So, kinetic increases by 4 times
(Award full marks for increases by 4 times )
6 (i) F= Kx , hence K= F/x = slope of (F –x) graph 1
Slope of A > Slope of B so, spring A higher value of K
(ii) Potential energy = area under(F – x) graph. So, potential energy 1
is minimum for B.
7 A cricket player lowers his hand to increase the time to catch the ball. 2
So force/impulse decrease and he gets less hurt. OR
For pulling R = W – P sin θ and for pushing R’ = W + P sin θ So
friction is more in case of push than in case of pull. 1
