Question
A Honda City car, a Maruti Alto car, A Tata Nano car and a Mahindra Scorpio car, all are running at the same speed of 50 m/s under identical conditions. If all these cars are hit from behind with the same force and they continue to move forward, the maximum acceleration will be produced in :
Options

Solution
(c) Tata Nano
Because the mass of Tata Nano is the least among the four and acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

The mass of a body is measured on planet Earth as M kg. When it is taken to a planet of radius half that of the Earth then its value will be ______ kg.
Assertion & Reasoning
- Assertion: The value of ‘g’ decreases as height and depth increase from the surface of the Earth.
- Reason: ‘g’ depends on the mass of the object and the Earth.
Two bodies have a mass ratio of 3:4 The force applied on the bigger mass produces an acceleration of 12 ms-2. What could be the acceleration of the other body, if the same force acts on it.
Two blocks of masses 8 kg and 2 kg respectively lie on a smooth horizontal surface in contact with one other. They are pushed by a horizontally applied force of 15 N. Calculate the force exerted on the 2 kg mass.
