A boy weighs 360 N on Earth.
i) What would be his approximate weight on the moon?
ii) What is the reason for your answer?A body is acted upon by a force. State two conditions under which the work done could be zero.
A spring is kept compressed by a small trolley of mass 0.5 kg lying on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure:
i) Define the term momentum.
ii) How is force related to the momentum of a body?
iii) State the condition when the change in momentum of a body depends only on the change in its velocity.
A body of mass 50 kg has a momentum 3000 kg m/s. Calculate:
i) the kinetic energy of the body.
ii) the velocity of the body.
i) Why is the mechanical advantage of a lever of the second order always greater than one?
ii) Name the type of single pulley that has a mechanical advantage greater than one.i) What is meant by refraction of light?
ii) What is the cause of refraction of light?
i) The deviation in the path of the light when it travels from one medium to the pther is called refraction of light.
ii) Speed of light is different from speed in different mediums.
