Inertia is the property of a body which preserves its state of motion or uniform motion in a straight line. The following factors tell me about inertia.
I. Greater the mass of a body, greater is its inertia.
II. Greater the inertia of a body, the less will be the acceleration produced by a given force.
III. The law of inertia is the same as Newton's first law of motion. 
Which combination is true?

  1. I and III only

  2. I and II only

  3. I, II and III

  4. II and III only

A block is moved from rest through a distance of 4m along a straight line path.The mass of the block is 5 kg,and the  force acting on it is 20 N.If the kinetic energy acquired by the block be 40J,at what angle to the path the force is acting:

  1. $30^o$

  2. $60^o$

  3. $45^o$

  4. none of the above

B Correct answer
Explanation
From work Energy theorem 
$ \triangle w = \triangle KE $ 
$ F.S = K.E $
$ F.S cos\theta = KE  $
$ cos\theta = \frac{KE}{FS} $
$ cos\theta = 1/2 $
$ \theta = 60^{\circ} $

A bullet of mass 40 g moving with a speed of $90 ms^{-1}$ enters a heavy wooden block and is stopped after a distance of 60 cm. The average resistance force exerted by the block on the bullet is

  1. 180 N

  2. 220 N

  3. 270 N

  4. 320 N

C Correct answer
Explanation

Using the work-energy theorem: Work = Change in Kinetic Energy. F * d = 1/2 * m * v^2. F * 0.6 = 1/2 * 0.04 * (90)^2. F * 0.6 = 0.02 * 8100 = 162. F = 162 / 0.6 = 270 N.

If the same force is applied on two bodies of different masses for the same time, then the change produced in the momentum of the two bodies is also same .

  1. True

  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

According to Newton's second law,

F = ma = m (v - u)/ t
Ft = mv - mu = Change in momentum
Now, for two bodies, if Ft is same, change in momentum is also same.
So, given statement is true.
