A box is lying on the horizontal floor of the compartment of a train running along horizontal rails from left to right. At time , it decelerates. Then the resultant contact force by the floor on the box is given best by:






Important Questions on Laws of Motion

A horizontal force is applied to the plank. Then the acceleration of bar and the plank in the reference frame of elevator are:


A steel ball of mass is dropped from a height of on to a horizontal heavy steel slab. The ball strike the slab and rebounds to its original height.
(a) Calculate the impulse delivered to the ball during impact.
(b) If the ball is in contact with the slab for find the average reaction force on the ball during impact.




Draw F.B.D. of the sphere of mass placed between a vertical wall and ground as shown in the figure (all surfaces are smooth).
