A hammer is resting on a plane surface. If force P is applied on the hammer along with a line not passing through its centre of mass, them the hammer?
A.
Moves along a straight line path
B.
Stays still
C.
Is thrown away
D.
Rotates about its centre of mass
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
If single force acts on a body and the line of action of force passes through the centre of mass, the body will have only linear acceleration. When the force is applied along with a line not passing through its centre of mass, then the hammer rotates about its centre of mass.
The point where whole weight may be assumed to act is called?
A.
Centre of mass
B.
Centre of weight
C.
Centre of gravity
D.
Centre of acceleration
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The centre of mass of body is point where whole mass of the body may be assumed to be concentrated for describing its translator motion. On the other hand, the centre of gravity is a point at which the resultant of gravitational forces on all particles of the body acts.
Which of the following retain their relative positions even when they move under the action of an external force?
A.
Rotation body
B.
Stationary body
C.
Rigid body
D.
A body in equilibrium
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
A body is said to be rigid if it does not undergo any change in its size and shape, however large the external force may be acting on it. A rigid body is one whose constituent particles retain their relative positions even when they move under the action of an external force.
A ball of mass 2kg and another of mass 4kg are dropped together from a 60feet tall building. After a fall of 30 feet each towards earth, their respective kinetic energies will be in the ration of?
A.
√2:1
B.
1:4
C.
1:2
D.
1:√2
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Both balls attain same velocity v after falling through 30 feet height. E1/E2 = (1/2 m1 (v1)2)/(1/2 m2 (v2)2) = (2v2)/(4v2)=1/2=1:2.
