ii) How does the distance of separation between two bodies affect the magnitude of the non-contact force between them?A boy of mass 30 kg is sitting at a distance of 2 m from the middle of as ea-saw. Where should a boy of mass 40 kg sit so as to balance the sea-saw?
i) What is meant by the term ‘moment of force’?
ii) If the moment of force is assigned a negative sign then will the turning tendency of the force be clockwise or anti-clockwise?
i) Which of the following remains constant in uniform circular motion: Speed or velocity or both?
ii) Name the force required for uniform circular motion. State its direction.A ball is placed on a compressed spring. When the spring is released, the ball is observed to fly away.
i) What form of energy does the compressed spring possess?
ii) Why does the ball fly away?i) State the energy conversion taking place in a solar cell?
