Question 1
If a golf ball, a cricket ball and a bowling ball are thrown with a same force, which ball will move with a greater acceleration?
Golf ball
Cricket ball
Bowling ball
The three balls will have equal acceleration.

10. Chapter Assessment Questions4
Answer 1
Answer: B
Reason: As , the lesser the mass the greater is the acceleration. Since golf ball has least mass, it will move with greater acceleration.

Question 2
Jack is boating in a river applying a contact force of 30 N, in a direction opposite to the flow of water, at the same time the water is exerting a force of 30 N on the boat. In which direction will the boat move?
The boat will move in the direction of the flow of water.
The boat will not move at all.
The boat will move back and forth within a particular distance.
The boat will move in the direction opposite to the flow of water.

12. Chapter Assessment Questions4
Answer 2
Answer: B
Reason: Since two equal and opposite forces are acting together, the net force is zero. Hence, the boat will not move at all.

Question 3
What is inertia?
Force.
Tendency of a body to stay only at rest.
Tendency of a body to move with constant acceleration.
Tendency of a body to move with constant velocity.

14. Chapter Assessment Questions4
Answer 3
Answer: D
Reason: Inertial of a body is the tendency of a body to stay at rest and/or to move with constant velocity, remember being at rest is simply a special case of state of constant velocity, v = 0 m/s.

Question 4
If the weight of a person on Earth is 120 N, what will his weight be on the Moon? (Gravity on Moon is six times less than the gravity on Earth.)

16. Chapter Assessment Questions4
Answer 4
Answer: A
Weight of person on Moon = Gravity on Moon × mass of person
So, weight of the person on Moon =
Reason: Gravity on Moon is
Mass of the person is (since mass = weight/g)

Question 5
What happens when the drag force is equal to the force of gravity?
Object comes to rest.
Object moves with constant acceleration.
Object moves with constant velocity.
Velocity of the object increases.

18. Chapter Assessment Questions4
Answer 5
Answer: C
Reason: When drag force equals the force due to gravity, the net force acting on the object is zero. As a result of which, the object moves with constant velocity, which is called terminal velocity.

19. Chapter Assessment Questions4
Question 6
If a table-tennis ball, a football and a baseball are dropped in air which ball will have the greater terminal velocity?
Table-tennis ball
Football
Baseball
All the balls will reach the terminal velocity at the same time.

20. Chapter Assessment Questions4
Answer 6
Answer: C
Reason: When light objects with large surface areas are falling, the drag force has a substantial effect on their motion, and they quickly reach terminal velocity. Heavier more compact objects are not affected as much by the drag force.
Baseball being heavier and more compact will have the greater terminal velocity in air.
