PYQ

A box of mass \(5\mathrm{kg}\) is pulled by a cord, up along a frictionless plane inclined at \(30^\circ\) with the horizontal. The tension in the cord is \(30\mathrm{N}\). The acceleration of the box is (Take\(\mathrm{g}=10{\mathrm{ms}}^{-2}\) ):

a

\(2\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}}^{-2}\)

b

zero

c

\(0.1\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}}^{-2}\)

d

\(1\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}}^{-2}\)

✓ Correct answer: d)

\(1\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}}^{-2}\)

PYQ

The kinetic energies of two similar cars A and B are \(100\mathrm{J}\) and \(225\mathrm{J}\) respectively. On applying breaks, car A stops after 1000 m and car B stops after 1500 m. If \({\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{A}}\) and \({\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{B}}\) are the forces applied by the breaks on cars A and B respectively, then the ratio \({\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{A}}/{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{B}}\) is
