Important Questions on Laws of Motion


A block of mass is (i) pushed in case and (ii) pulled in case by a force making an angle of with the horizontal, as shown in the figures. The coefficient of friction between the block and floor is The difference between the accelerations of the block, in case and case will be:




A spherical body of mass starting from rest acquires a kinetic energy of at the end of second. The force acted on the body is _____ .


Four identical beakers contain same amount of water as shown below.
Beaker contains only water. A lead ball is held submerged in the beaker by string from above. A same sized plastic ball, say a table tennis ball, is held submerged in beaker by a string attached to a stand from outside. Beaker contains same sized ball which is held submerged from a string attached to the bottom of the beaker. These beakers (without stand) are placed on weighing pans and register readings and for and respectively. Effects of the mass and volume of the stand and string are to be neglected.











A block of mass rests on another block of mass and is tied to a wall as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between and is and that between and ground is . The minimum force required to move the block is
