The force required to keep a body moving in uniform velocity on a frictionless surface is
A. Equal to its weight
B. Zero
C. Product of mass and velocity
D. Equal to applied force
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
On a frictionless surface, no net external force is required to maintain uniform velocity (Newton's first law). Only to change velocity force is needed. Thus, force required is zero. If friction present, force would be needed to balance friction.
Explanation:
Surface tension = force/length. Force dimensions [MLT⁻²], length [L], so [MLT⁻²]/[L] = [MT⁻²]. Also energy per area gives same dimensions: [ML²T⁻²]/[L²] = [MT⁻²].
Explanation:
Distance covered in nth second: sₙ = u + a(2n-1)/2. With u=0, sₙ ∝ (2n-1). For n=1: 2(1)-1=1; n=2: 3; n=3:5. Thus ratio 1:3:5. This result holds for any uniformly accelerated motion starting from rest. The distances covered in successive equal time intervals follow odd number ratio. Memory aid: This is a standard result derivable from s = ut + ½at² by calculating s at t=n and t=n-1. Frequently appears in competitive exams testing equation of motion applications.
Explanation:
In an open vessel, water boils at 100°C, and extra heat merely creates steam rather than raising the temperature. A pressure cooker traps steam, increasing the internal pressure above atmospheric pressure. Increased pressure raises the boiling point of water (often to around 120°C). Cooking the food at this higher temperature significantly reduces cooking time.
