A man getting down a running bus, falls forward because-
The explanation is the question itself. Inertia is a property of which it resists its change of state of rest or state of motion, so as soon as the person jumps the lower part immediately comes to rest by sharing contact with the ground the upper body due to inertia of motion resists its change in state of motion.
You are on a friction less horizontal plane. How can you get off if no horizontal force is exerted by pushing against the surface ?
Spitting or sneezing this is because you can not jump forward or backward or rolling or even run on the frictionless plane. So you have to throw anything out of your body by applying force Newton's third law follows here and you will escape out.
The forces acting on an object are shown in the fig. If the body moves horizontally at a constant speed of 5 m/s, then the values of the forces P and S are, respectively-
As there is no net acceleration in horizontal or vertical direction, we can say thatP = 300NAnd 2S = 2000NThus S = 1000N
A boy of mass 50 Kg running at 5 m/s jumps on to a 20Kg trolley travelling in the same direction at 1.5 m/s. What is the common velocity?
Since no external force, law of conservation of momentum can be appliedInitial MomentumFinal momentum where v is the common velocityNow we know thatInitial momentum = Final momentum280 = 70vV = 4m/s
Find the velocity of the hanging block if the velocities of the free ends of the rope are as indicated in the figure.
Workdone by T = 0 ∴ ∑T⋅V = 0 2T + T + 2TV = 0 ⇒ − 3T = − 2TV (T & 2T are 180°) ∴ V = 3/2 m/s↑
At a given instant, A is moving with velocity of 5 m/s upwards. What is velocity of B at the time
l1 = 2l2 + l3 = constant dl1/dt + 2dl2/dt + dl3/dt = 0 −5 + 2(−5) + dl/dt = 0 dl3/dt = 15m/s ⇒ vB = 15m/s↓
A body of mass 5 kg is suspended by the strings making angles 60º and 30º with the horizontal -
(a) T1 = 25 N
(b) T2 = 25 N
(c) T1 = 25N
(d) T2 = 25N
As the mass is at rest the resultant of forces acting on it are equal to zero so forces in vertical direction are
T1sin30o + T2sin60o − mg = 0
similarly in horizontal direction
T1sin30o − T2sin60o = 0
solving above equations will give us
T1+ √3×√3T1 = 100
T1 = 25N
T2 = 25√3N
A cyclist of mass 30 kg exerts a force of 250 N to move his cycle. acceleration is 4 ms−2. force of friction between road and tyres will be
Net Force = Force exerted by Cyclist - Frictional ForceAlso, according to newton's second lawFnet = m.a250 N - Frictional Force = 30x4∴ Frictional Force = 250 - 120 N= 130 N
In the arrangement shown in fig. the ends P and Q of an unstretchable string move downwards with uniform speed U. Pulleys A and B are fixed. Mass M moves upwards with a speed.
Thus option D is correct
The velocity of end `A' of rigid rod placed between two smooth vertical walls moves with velocity `u' along vertical direction. Find out the velocity of end `B' of that rod, rod always remains in constant with the vertical walls.
Let say end b has some velocity v in horizontal direction. Thus by constraint motion we get the component of velocities along the rod of both the ends must be equal thus we get, u.cos (90-q) = v.cos q Thus we get v = u.tan q
A cyclist of mass 30 kg exerts a force of 250 N to move his cycle. The acceleration is 4 ms−2. The force of friction between the road and tyres will be
As 250N is applied to move the cyclist and cycle, and lets say some frictional force f is acting upon it.Thus we get 250 - f = 30 x 4 =120Thus we get f = 130N
Find out the reading of the weighing machine in the following cases.

A mass M is suspended by a rope from a rigid support at A as shown in figure. Another rope is tied at the end B, and it is pulled horizontally with a force F. If the rope AB makes an angle q with the vertical in equilibrium, then the tension in the string AB is :
As the block is still at the equilibrium, we get T.cos q = mg T.sin q = F Thus we T = F / sin q
Three block are connected as shown, on a horizontal frictionless table and pulled to the right with a force T3 = 60 N. If m1 = 10 kg, m2 = 20 kg and m3 = 30 kg, the tension T2 is-
Let a be the acceleration of the system.T1 = M1a .....(1)T2 − T1 = M2a ....(2)F − T2 = M3a ......(3)Adding (1), (2) and (3) we get(M1 + M2 + M3)a = For (10+20+30)a = 60⇒ a = 1m/s2Now , T2 = (M1+M2)a⇒ (10+20)(1) = 30N
Three blocks A, B and C are suspended as shown in the figure. Mass of each blocks A and C is m. If system is in equilibrium and mass of B is M, then :

A force-time graph for a linear motion is shown in figure where the segments are circular. The linear momentum gained between zero and 8 seconds in -
Momentum is rate of change of force according to the given graph initial and final forces are same ie, no change in force therefore b/w 0 and 8 seconds linear momentum is 0.
A particle moves in the xy plane under the action of a force F such that the value of its linear momentum (P) at any time t is, Px = 2 cost, Py = 2 sint. The angle q between P and F at that time t will be -
Fx = dpx / dt = - 2sintFy = dpy / dt = 2costSo angle between F and P will be 90º because we see that their dot product is zero.

Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table. One has mass m and the other 2m. A force F is applied on 2m as shown in the figure. Now the same force F is applied from the right on m. In the two cases respectively, the ratio force of contact between the two block will be :
So the ratio is F/3 : 2F/3 = 1 : 3
A body of mass 8 kg is hanging another body of mass 12 kg. The combination is being pulled by a string with an acceleration of 2.2 m s-2. The tension T1 and T2 will be respectively : (use g = 9.8 m/s2)
The tension T1 and T2 will be 240 N, 96 N. Mass of the body = m1 = 12kg (Given) Mass of the body = m2 = 8kg (Given) Acceleration of the string - 2.2m/s² (Given) Considering positive direction upwards - Thus, T1− (m1+m2)g = (m1+m2)a T1 = (m1+m2)g + (m1+m2)a T1= (12+8)(2.2)+(12+8)(9.8) T1 = 44 + 196 = 240 N T2− (m2)g=(m2)a T2=(m2)g+(m2)a T2= (8)(2.2)+(8)(9.8) T2 = 17.6 + 78.4 = 96 N
A rope of mass 5 kg is moving vertically in vertical position with an upwards force of 100 N acting at the upper end and a downwards force of 70 N acting at the lower end. The tension at midpoint of the rope is
When you are given one upward and one downward force on a rope of some mass, and you have to find the tension at the mid- point, then you can simply average the 2 forces. So, the correct answer is (100+70)/3 = 85N
A particle of small mass m is joined to a very heavy body by a light string passing over a light pulley. Both bodies are free to move. The total downward force in the pulley is
The heavy body will fall due to accelaration due to gravity.The accelaration of the lighter body wil be 'g' in upward direction.Taking the equlibrium of the small body
T - mg = ma
but a = g
Therefore
T - mg = mg
T = 2mg
reation at the pulley
2T = 4mg
The pulley arrangements shown in figure are identical the mass of the rope being negligible. In case I, the mass m is lifted by attaching a mass 2 m to the other end of the rope. In case II, the mass m is lifted by pulling the other end of the rope with cosntant downward force F = 2 mg, where g is acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration of mass in case I is
When we make the free body diagram of two mass system in case 1, we get the equation 2mg - mg = (2m + m) a Thus we get a = g/3 But in the case 2 the equations is as follows 2mg - mg = ma Thus we get a - g here.
Two masses M1 and M2 are attached to the ends of a light string which passes over a massless pulley attached to the top of a double inclined smooth plane of angles of inclination a and b. The tension in the string is:
If we straighten the string horizontally hypothetically and make the free body diagram for the whole two block system we get thatM1g.sinɑ - M2g.sinβ = (M1 + M2)aFor some net acceleration of the system aSuch that a = M1g.sinɑ - M2g.sinβ / (M1 + M2)Hence if we make a free body diagram of mass 1 only we getM1g.sinɑ - T = M1aThus we get T = M1 ( g.sinɑ - a )= M1( g.sinɑ - [M1g.sinɑ - M2g.sinβ / (M1 + M2) ] )= M1( M2 (sinɑ + sinβ )f / (M1 + M2) )
Two masses are hanging vertically over frictionless pulley. The acceleration of the two masses is-
Free Body Diagram:
Fnet = m2g - m1gF = (m1 + m2) am2g - m1g = (m1 + m2) a
Three equal weights A, B, C of mass 2 kg each are hanging on a string passing over a fixed frictionless pulley as shown in the fig. The tension in the string connecting weights B and C is-
For some time let us consider B and C to be one single block of mass 4kg. Now if we make the free body diagram for blocks A, B, C we get the net acceleration of the system by equation4.g - 2.g = 6.aThus we get a = g/3Now if we only make a F.B.D. of block C, we get2.g - T = 2.aThus T = 2 (g - g/3)= 4g/3= 13.3 N
In the arrangement shown in figure, pulleys are massless and frictionless and threads are inextensible. The Block of mass m1 will remain at rest, if
a = [(m3−m2 )/(m2+m3) ]g (m3 > m2) T = [2m2m3g] / [m2+m3] T′ = 2T = [4m2m3g] / [m2+m3] m1g = 4m2m3gm / m2+m3 4/m1 = [1/m2] + [1/m3]
A block is placed on a rough floor and a horizontal force F is applied on it. The force of friction f by the floor on the block is measured for different values of F and a graph is plotted between them-
For a small value of the applied force the force of friction f increases linearly upto the limiting friction. When it crosses the maximum point of static friction then the friction force due to kinetic friction does not change any more.
