    This document contains 12 questions about force and laws of motion from a Class IX Physics worksheet. The questions cover topics like unbalanced forces, friction, momentum, and more. For example, question 4 asks why a rolling cricket ball slows to a stop and the answer is that there is a force opposing its motion. Question 5 asks about calculating the net accelerating force and acceleration of a train pulled by an engine.

    Class IX- Physics-Worksheet 2


    Force & laws of Motion

    1. An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force. Is it possible for the
    object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity? If yes, state the conditions that
    must be placed on the magnitude and direction of the velocity. If no, provide a
    reason.

    2. When a carpet is beaten with a stick, dust comes out of it. Explain.
    3. Why is it advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope?

    4. A batsman hits a cricket ball which then rolls on a level ground. After covering a
    short distance, the ball comes to rest. The ball slows to a stop because (a) the
    batsman did not hit the ball hard enough. (b) Velocity is proportional to the force
    exerted on the ball. (c) There is a force on the ball opposing the motion. (d) There
    is no unbalanced force on the ball, so the ball would want to come to rest.

    5. A 8000 kg engine pulls a train of 5 wagons, each of 2000 kg, along a horizontal
    track. If the engine exerts a force of 40000 N and the track offers a friction force of
    5000 N, then calculate :(a) the net accelerating force and (b) the acceleration of the
    train.

    6. An automobile vehicle has a mass of 1500 kg. What must be the force between
    the vehicle and road if the vehicle is to be stopped with a negative acceleration of
    1.7 m s–2?

    7. Using a horizontal force of 200 N, we intend to move a wooden cabinet across a


    floor at a constant velocity. What is the friction force that will be exerted on the
    cabinet?

    8. According to the third law of motion when we push on an object, the object
    pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck
    parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by
    answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on
    this logic and explain why the truck does not move.

    9. An object of mass 100 kg is accelerated uniformly from a velocity of 5 m s –1 to


    8 m s–1 in 6 s. Calculate the initial and final momentum of the object. Also, find the
    magnitude of the force exerted on the object.
    10. A bullet of mass 10 g travelling horizontally with a velocity of 150 m s–1
    strikes a stationary wooden block and comes to rest in 0.03 s. Calculate the
    distance of penetration of the bullet into the block. Also calculate the magnitude of
    the force exerted by the wooden block on the bullet. (2.25 m, 50 N)

    11. An object of mass 100 kg is accelerated uniformly from a velocity of 5 m s –1 to


    8 m s–1 in 6 s. Calculate the initial and final momentum of the object. Also, find the
    magnitude of the force exerted on the object. 50 N

    12. How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer to the floor if it
    falls from a height of 80 cm? Take its downward acceleration to be 10 m s–2 .
    40 kg m/s
