A horse tied to a cart is standing stationary on road. Which of the following statement is CORRECT?

  1. Horse is applying force on the cart

  2. Cart is applying force on the horse

  3. Force applied by the horse is balanced by the force applied by the cart

  4. No forward force is being applied by the horse or the cart
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The horse tied to cart is standing stationary on road denotes that the net force acting on the horse as well as the cart individually is zero. If it is standing stationary, it means that horse is applying force on the road perpendicularly and road is also applying same magnitude of force in the opposite direction, which makes the net force on horse to be zero and hence no forward force on the horse is there.

Which law of Newton defines an ‘inertial frame of reference’?

  1. First law of motion

  2. Second law of motion

  3. Third law of motion

  4. Law of gravitation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

First Law of Newton states that when viewed in an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.

A particle is moving with a constant speed along a straight line path. A force is not required to:

  1. Increase its speed

  2. Decrease its momentum

  3. Change the direction

  4. Keep it moving with uniform velocity
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Newton's first law of motion states that if an object experiences no net force, then its velocity is constant. So, force is not required to keep object moving with uniform velocity.

Newton's first law of motion is also called Galileo's law of:

  1. Conservation of momentum

  2. Inertia

  3. Friction

  4. Conservation of mass
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Newton's first law of motion states that the object tends to remain in the initial state untill no external force is applied to it which is also called Galileo's law of inertia.

When a body is stationary :

  1. there is no force acting on it

  2. the combination of forces acting on it balance each other

  3. the force acting on it are not in contact with it

  4. the body is in vacuum
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

For the body to be stationary, net external force acting on it must be equal to zero which is possible only when the combination of forces acting on it balance each other.

Which law is involved in the act of cleaning a carpet by beating it with a stick ? 

  1. First law of motion.

  2. Second law of motion

  3. Law of conservation of energy

  4. Law of conservation of mass
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The dust particles get separated out from the carpet by beating it with a stick due to their inertia of rest which is explained by Newton's first law of motion.

Idea of inertia came from:

  1. Newton's third law of motion

  2. Newton's second law of motion

  3. Newton's first law of motion

  4. Law of gravitation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Newton's first law of motion states that the body tends to remain in the initial state if no external force is applied to it which gave the idea of inertia.

Why is it advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope?

  1. While the bus is moving, luggage tends to remain in inertia of motion state

  2. When the bus stops, the luggage tends to resist the change and due to inertia of motion it move forward and may fall off

  3. Both a and b are true

  4. None of them is True
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

While the bus is moving, luggage tends to remain in inertia of motion state. When the bus stops, the luggage tends to resist the change and due to inertia of motion it moves forward and may fall off. That's why it is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope.
