During the next three seconds, the body covers 81 m, find the magnitude of the force if the body were initially at rest. 12. Suppose you roll off balls from a table top. Will the time taken by the ball to hit the floor depend on the horizontal speed of the ball? Explain your answer. 13.

The horizontal range of a projectile is 4 3 times its maximum height. Find the angle of projection. A ball is thrown horizontally from a point 100 m above the ground with a speed of 20m/s. Find (a) the time it takes to reach the ground (b) the horizontal distance it travels before reaching the ground. 15. A body travels a distance of 20 m in the 7 th second and 24m in the 9 th second. How much distance shall it travel in the 15 th second? 16. Find a vector whose magnitude is same as that of A = 12i 5j and whose direction is opposite (anti parallel) to that of B = 3i 4j. 17. Explain why is a punch more forceful with a bare fist than with a boxing glove? Define angle of friction. Prove the relation tanθ =µ. Where µ = coefficient of friction and θ= angle of friction. 18. In a hypothetical system of units, velocity (v), force (F) and time (T) are chosen as the fundamental units. Write the dimensions of mass in this system. 19. Prove that Newton s second law is the real law of motion. 20. If A = 3i 2j + 4k and B = - 5i + 2j k, then what is (A+B). (A 2B). 21. A pump on the ground floor of a building can pump up water to fill a tank of volume 30 m 3 in 15 min. If the tank is 40 m above the ground, and the efficiency of the pump is 30%, how much electric power is consumed by the pump? 22. Rajan lives in Delhi and works in Gurgaon 45 km away from his residence. The speed limit on the expressway is 75km/h but he is often late and drives at 85km/h to save time. With

Compare this time to 30 min. he will spend in getting a ticket when caught by the traffic police. On the basis of the results obtained, do you think over-speeding/traffic violations are really necessary? 23. A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 28m/s. (a) Find the maximum height reached by the stone. (b)find the velocity of the stone one second before it reaches the maximum height. (c) Does the answer of part (b) change if the initial speed is more than 28m/s such as 40m/s or 80m/s. 24. A plane flying horizontally at 100 m/s at a height of 1000 m releases a bomb from it. Find (a) the time it takes to reach the ground (ii) the velocity with which it hits the target, (iii) the distance from the target when the bomb is dropped. (Take g = 10m/s 2 ) 25. The time of oscillation T of a small drop of liquid under surface tension depends upon the density (ρ), the radius r, and the surface tension S (defined as force per unit length). Derive dimensionally the relation for T. 26. A particle moving with a constant acceleration describes a distance of 8 cm in the third second of its motion and 9/25 th part of the whole distance in the last second of its motion. If the particle has started from rest, how long did it move and what distance? 27. The figure shows three blocks attached by mass-less cords that loop over frictionless pulleys. Block B lies on a frictionless table; the masses are m A = 6 Kg, m B = 8 Kg and m C = 10 kg. When the blocks are released, what is the tension in the cord at the right? 28. Define a projectile.
