We know that I = P, where P is momentum
As subtracting initial momentum from the final momentum won't affect its unit, we get unit if I is the same as that of P.

Force of inertia = ma
Let the masses be 1x and 5x
Force of inertia for 1st body= 1x * a
Force of inertia for 2nd = 5x * a
Ratio= x * a / 5x * a = 1:5

Weight of the block, mg = 5kg x 10 m/s2 = 50 N.
According to Newton’s third law, the action of the block, that is the force exerted on the floor by the block is equal to 50 N in magnitude and is directly vertically downward.

Geetika Shah answered |
As the lift moves upwards but the spring feels itself at rest hence we need to compensate the non inertial frame by adding an appropriate pseudo force to treat it as an inertial frame. Hence the pseudo force to be applied acts on every mass in the lift which is equal to mass x acceleration (=g) downwards.
Hence the tension in the spring would be 40N (20 due to weight and 20 pseudo). Thus the reading would be 4kg.

Preeti Iyer answered |
What do you think about Newton's 1st law, he was said that " every body have nature to maintain inertia of rest or motion untill there is not net force applied on that body". means body will be earlier state (no change in state) when net force applied on that body equals zero.
I know, you thought answer is option (a). but this is not true. for better understanding, Let's take. an example. a body moves with uniform velocity then, net force applied on body = 0 because acceleration of body is zero . but here you see body is not in rest . it is in motion. it is in earlier state . its state doesn't change.

Given information:
- Mass of the object = 6 kg
- Three forces acting on the object:
- F1 = 20i + 30j N
- F2 = 8i - 50j N
- F3 = 2i + 2j N
To find: Acceleration of the object
Solution:
- We know that the net force acting on the object, F_net = F1 + F2 + F3
- Using vector addition, we can find the net force: F_net = (20+8+2)i + (30-50+2)j = 30i - 18j N
- Now, using Newton's second law of motion, F_net = m*a, where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration produced.
- Substituting the values, we get: 30i - 18j = 6*a
- Dividing both sides by 6, we get: a = (30/6)i - (18/6)j = 5i - 3j m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 5i - 3j m/s^2, which is option 'B'.
- Mass of the object = 6 kg
- Three forces acting on the object:
- F1 = 20i + 30j N
- F2 = 8i - 50j N
- F3 = 2i + 2j N

Solution:
- We know that the net force acting on the object, F_net = F1 + F2 + F3
- Using vector addition, we can find the net force: F_net = (20+8+2)i + (30-50+2)j = 30i - 18j N
- Now, using Newton's second law of motion, F_net = m*a, where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration produced.
- Substituting the values, we get: 30i - 18j = 6*a

Krishna Iyer answered |
Force vector follows the principle of superposition which says all the force vectors can be vectorially added if applied on one point to get the net force vector. Hence we get
F = F1 + F2 + F3
= (-2 + 3) i + (1 - 2) j
F = i - j = ma
Thus we get a = (i - j) /m
= (i - j) / 2
F = F1 + F2 + F3
= (-2 + 3) i + (1 - 2) j
F = i - j = ma
Thus we get a = (i - j) /m
= (i - j) / 2

Concept: Forces.The particle is a stationary under the effect of forces F1, F2 and F3.
This shows that force F1 is equal and opposite to the resultant of forces F2 and F3.
Hence, if the force F1 is removed the particle will move under the action of the force -ve F1 and the acceleration will the particle will be,a =-F1/m.

Both of them are vector quantities. And both of them can be easily simplified. If taken in the vector form then the task is even easier. Thus it is not necessary for the force or the couple to be vector only, even if the magnitude is taken, the simplification is done in the 2D.

Net Force = Force exerted by Cyclist - Frictional Force
Also, according to newton's second law
Fnet = m.a
250 N - Frictional Force = 30x4
∴ Frictional Force = 250 - 120 N
= 130 N
Also, according to newton's second law
Fnet = m.a

Riya Banerjee answered |
Before the string is cut the force applied by the spring is 3mg and tension in string is mg
Once the spring is cut, the tension comes to zero suddenly,
Thus acceleration of block b gets g downwards,
Whereas acceleration of a becomes g/2 upwards because the force from the spring is still the same at the moment the string is cut.

Mass of the monkey, m = 40 kg
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s
Maximum tension that the rope can bear, Tmax = 600 N
Acceleration of the monkey, a = 6 m/s2 upward
Using Newtons second law of motion, we can write the equation of motion as:
T mg = ma
T = m(g + a)
= 40 (10 + 6)
= 640 N
Since T > Tmax, the rope will break in this case.

Geetika Shah answered |
At first considering both blocks as one system with only one external force F
We get common acceleration at right be a = 100/15 m/s2
Now considering 10 kg block
We get F - T = 10a
i.e. T = 100 - 10(100/15)
= 100 (1 - 2/3)
= 33.33 N
We get common acceleration at right be a = 100/15 m/s2
Now considering 10 kg block
We get F - T = 10a
i.e. T = 100 - 10(100/15)
= 100 (1 - 2/3)
= 33.33 N

Kamna Science Academy answered |
- If F is applied force then acceleration of the system is F/2m + m = F/3m
- Now when we apply the force from the left, the force applied on the block m is F/3m = F/3. This will be the force in the contact.
- When we apply the force from the right from on the block will be 2Fm/3 = 2F/3, this will be the force on the contact then.
So the ratio is F/3 : 2F/3 = 1 : 3

if an object is moving in a horizontal circle at constant speed, the centripetal force does not do any work and cannot alter the total mechanical energy of the object. For the reason, the kinetic energy and therefore the speed of the object will remain constant.

Om Desai answered |
Simply by conserving the momentum of the system we get that,
0 (initial momentum) = 12 x 4 + 4 x v (final momentum)
Thus we get v = -12 m/s
0 (initial momentum) = 12 x 4 + 4 x v (final momentum)
Thus we get v = -12 m/s

Adding (1), (2) and (3) we get
(M1 + M2 + M3)a = F
or (10+20+30)a = 60
⇒ a = 1m/s2
Now , T2 = (M1+M2)a
⇒ (10+20)(1) = 30N
T1 = M1a .....(1)
T2 − T1 = M2a ....(2)
F − T2 = M3a ......(3)
Adding (1), (2) and (3) we get
(M1 + M2 + M3)a = F

Rohit Shah answered |
This is because newton's laws are valid only for inertial frames. Analysis from an inertial frame isn't possible using those laws, to put it simple.
Let us assume a glass lift is going up with an acceleration 'a'. with respect to the ground. Clearly, this is a non-inertial frame as it has an acceleration. Man 'A' is inside the lift and wants to analyze the motion of the lift, but he cannot, as the newton's laws are not valid. So he takes his phone and calls Man 'B', who stands outside on the ground (in an inertial frame). This fellow watches Man 'A' go up with acceleration 'a'. Forces acting on Man 'A' are:
1. Weight, mg
2. Normal reaction offered by the lift, N
Thus, taking upward direction as positive and using Newton's Law, he writes the equation,
N - mg = ma, or
N = mg+ma
He tells "N=mg+ma" on phone to Man 'A'.
Now, Man 'A' looks around himself. According to himself, he is at rest. So, according to him, N = mg. Sadly, he knows this is not a correct analysis, as the newton's laws can't be applied!
The correct analysis, as received on phone, is N=mg+ma!
This is his eureka moment! He realizes that if he considers a "pseudo force" of magnitude 'ma' acting in opposite direction to acceleration of his frame, a correct analysis is possible!
This is why the concept of pseudo force is introduced, although it isn't necessary. You can always equate the net force in a direction equal to mass times acceleration from outside the non-inertial frame. However, if you want to do it from the non-inertial frame, the result can be interpreted in such a way, which suggests that the body is under rest, but an additional force (pseudo force) is acting.

Mass of the man, m = 70 kg
Acceleration, a = 0
Using Newton’s second law of motion, We can write the equation of motion as,
R – mg = ma
∴ R = mg = 70 × 10 = 700 N
∴ the weighing scale = 700 / g = 700 / 10 = 70 kg
Acceleration, a = 0

Fx = dpx / dt = - 2sint
Fy = dpy / dt = 2cost
So angle between F and P will be 90º because we see that their dot product is zero.
Fy = dpy / dt = 2cost

Force on A’ and B’ is 40 N and 60 N respectively. Net force of the situation is 40 N upward. So to balance the force on A’ a force of 40 N has to apply on C’. Similarly a force of 100 N is also be applied to get the net force of 40 N in upward direction.

Gravitational force
The force exerted by the earth on a body is called gravitational force. Actually this force exists between any two bodies in the universe.This force is always of attraction. e.g. When a body is dropped from a height it moves in downward direction towards the Earth with increasing speed (with constant acceleration). This constant acceleration by which all bodies fall down is called acceleration due to gravity. Its value is 9.8 m/s' (approx 10 m/s' )on the surface of the earth. e.g. i) A fruit from tree falls down;ii) Water falls down on a ground from a tap.iii) We feel the weight of bucket full of water holding in our hand.

where a is the common acceleration of all the blocks
a = 5/3 m/s2
Considering mass 1 we get,
T1 = 10 a
T1 = 50/3 N
Considering mass 1 and 2 we get,
T2 = 30 a
T2 = 50N
100 = 60.a
where a is the common acceleration of all the blocks
a = 5/3 m/s2
Considering mass 1 we get,
T1 = 10 a
T1 = 50/3 N
Considering mass 1 and 2 we get,

Relative acceleration is,
a = 9.8 – 3 = 6.8 m/s2
Now, we have
S = ut + (1/2)at2
Here, u = 0 and S = 1.7 m
Therefore, t = 0.71 s

Infinity Academy answered |
When an object falls freely, it experiences weightlessness. This is because the object and the load on it are both accelerating towards the ground at the same rate due to gravity. Therefore, the object and the load on it will have the same weight as they would have if they were stationary on the ground.
In this case, the man is carrying a load of 10 kgf on his head and jumps from a tower. As he falls freely, both the man and the load on his head will experience weightlessness. Therefore, the weight of the load experienced by the man will be zero.

For a small value of the applied force the force of friction f increases linearly upto the limiting friction. When it crosses the maximum point of static friction then the friction force due to kinetic friction does not change any more.

Krishna Iyer answered |
As the moving elevator is a non inertial frame hence newton's laws can’t be applied directly to it. So to apply Newton's laws we need to add a pseudo force to the man's body equal to mass times the acceleration of lift in the opposite direction to that of acceleration. Thus the balancing normal force is equal to the weight of the man + mass times the acceleration which is,
Reading = Normal force = 700 + 70 x 5
= 700 + 350
= 1050 N
Reading = Normal force = 700 + 70 x 5
= 700 + 350
= 1050 N

Making the free body diagram of the body we get
T1.cosθ = T2 = mg = 60
T1.sinθ = 50N
By dividing the above two equations we get
tanθ = 5/6
Thus we get θ = 40°
T1.cosθ = T2 = mg = 60
T1.sinθ = 50N
By dividing the above two equations we get
tanθ = 5/6
Thus we get θ = 40°

Nandini Patel answered |
Mass of the body, m = 3 kg
Initial speed of the body, u = 2 m/s
Final speed of the body, v = 3.5 m/s
Time, t = 10 s
Using the first equation of motion, the acceleration (a) produced in the body can be calculated as:
v = u + at
∴ a = (v – u) / t
= (3.5 – 2) / 10 = 0.15 ms^-2
As per Newton’s second law of motion, force is given as:
F = ma
= 3 x 0.15 = 0.45 N
Since the application of force does not change the direction of the body, the net force acting on the body is in the direction of its motion.

The force parallel to the plane but downwards, W = mg.sin 60 = 980 x √3/2 = 848.7N
Maximum friction force acting, f = mg.cos 60 x 0.5 = 980 x ½ x 0.5 = 245N
Thus the minimum extra force required, let say F = 848.7 - 245 = 603.3 N
Maximum friction force acting, f = mg.cos 60 x 0.5 = 980 x ½ x 0.5 = 245N
Thus the minimum extra force required, let say F = 848.7 - 245 = 603.3 N

Weight of the block is 20N thus maximum friction that can act is 0.4 x 20 = 8N
But as the external force acting, F = 2.8N < 8N,
We get f = F = 2.8N
But as the external force acting, F = 2.8N < 8N,
We get f = F = 2.8N
