Important Questions on Newton's Laws of Motion





An inclined plane making an angle of with the horizontal is placed in a uniform horizontal electric field as shown in the figure. A body of mass and charge is allowed to slide down from rest at a height of . If the coefficient of friction is find the time taken by the body to reach the bottom.





Two blocks and of masses and respectively are connected by a massless inextensible string passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. Block A is lifted until block B touches the ground and then block A is released. The initial height of block A is when block B just touches the ground. The maximum height reached by block from the ground after the block A falls on the ground is



A student skates up a ramp that makes an angle with the horizontal. He/she starts (as shown in the figure) at the bottom of the ramp with speed and wants to turn around over a semicircular path of radius during which he/she reaches a maximum height (at point ) from the ground as shown in the figure. Assume that the energy loss is negligible and the force required for this turn at the highest point is provided by his/her weight only. Then ( is the acceleration due to gravity)



Two blocks A and B of equal masses are in contact initially. The coefficients of friction between the inclined plane and the surface of A and B are respectively. The blocks will remain in contact and will fall with common acceleration_____



The masses , and are and , respectively. These have been joined using massless, inextensible pieces of strings as shown in the figure. If whole system is going upward with an acceleration of , then, the value of tensions and , respectively are,


Two blocks of mass and are connected by a light string passing over a frictionless pulley. As shown in the figure, the mass is placed on a smooth inclined plane of inclination and hangs vertically. If the system is released, the block moves with an acceleration equal to
