A body of mass m rests on horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the body and the surface is μ. If the mass is pulled by a force P as shown in the figure, the limiting friction between body and surface will be 

(1) μmg

(2) $\mu \left[mg+\left(\frac{{\displaystyle P}}{{\displaystyle 2}}\right)\right]$

(3) $\mu \left[mg-\left(\frac{{\displaystyle P}}{{\displaystyle 2}}\right)\right]$

(4) $\mu \left[mg-\left(\frac{{\displaystyle \sqrt{3}P}}{{\displaystyle 2}}\right)\right]$

A 40 kg slab rests on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. A 10 kg block rests on the top of the slab. The static coefficient of friction between the block and slab is 0.60 while the kinetic friction is 0.40. The 10 kg block is acted upon by a horizontal force 100 N. If g = 9.8 m/s², the resulting acceleration of the slab will be 

(1) 0.98 m/s²

(2) 1.47 m/s²

(3) 1.52 m/s²

(4) 6.1 m/s²

A body of weight 50 N placed on a horizontal surface is just moved by a force of 28.2 N. The frictional force and the normal reaction are

(1) 10 N, 15 N

(2) 20 N, 30 N

(3) 2 N, 3 N

(4) 5 N, 6 N

A rough vertical board has an acceleration ‘a’ so that a 2 kg block pressing against it does not fall. The coefficient of friction between the block and the board should be

(1) > g/a

(2) < g/a

(3) = g/a

(4) > a/g

It is easier to draw up a wooden block along an smooth inclined plane than to haul it vertically, principally because 

(1) The friction is reduced

(2) The mass becomes smaller

(3) Only a part of the weight has to be overcome

(4) ‘g’ becomes smaller

A lead ball strikes a wall and falls down, a tennis ball having the same mass and velocity strikes the wall and bounces back. Check the correct statement

(1) The momentum of the lead ball is greater than that of the tennis ball

(2) The lead ball suffers a greater change in momentum compared with the tennis ball

(3) The tennis ball suffers a greater change in momentum as compared with the lead ball

(4) Both suffer an equal change in momentum

A ball of weight 0.1 kg coming with speed 30 m/s strikes with a bat and returns in opposite direction with speed 40 m/s, then the impulse is (Taking final velocity as positive) 

(1) $-0.1\times \left(40\right)-0.1\times \left(30\right)$

(2) $0.1\times \left(40\right)-0.1\times (-30)$

(3) $0.1\times \left(40\right)+0.1\times (-30)$

(4) $0.1\times \left(40\right)-0.1\times \left(20\right)$

A ball of mass m falls vertically to the ground from a height h₁ and rebound to a height h₂. The change in momentum of the ball on striking the ground is 

(1) $mg(h_1-h_2)$

(2) $m\left(\sqrt{2g{h}_1}+\sqrt{2g{h}_2}\right)$

(3) $m\sqrt{2g(h_1+h_2)}$

(4) $m\sqrt{2g}(h_1+h_2)$

Consider the following two statements

1. Linear momentum of a system of particles is zero

2. Kinetic energy of a system of particles is zero Then 

(1) 1 implies 2 and 2 implies 1

(2) 1 does not imply 2 and 2 does not imply 1

(3) 1 implies 2 but 2 does not imply 1

(4) 1 does not imply 2 but 2 implies 1
