First Year Important Very Short Answers by Mr. Hameed Ali Khan M.SC B.Ed (PH.D)
15. If A = A i j , what is the angle between the vector & X-axis?
y
Ans: - Tan 450
x
16. Can a vector of magnitude zero have non-zero components?
Ans: - No
17. What is the acceleration of a projectile at the top of its trajectory?
Ans: - Acceleration due to gravity(g = 9.8 m/s2, vertically downwards
18. If P = 2i + 4j + 14k & Q = 4i + 4j + 10k find the magnitude of P + Q
Ans: P + Q = (2i + 4j + 14k) + (4i + 4j + 10k)
P + Q = 6i + 8j + 24k
|P + Q| = 62 82 242 676 26

19. What is inertia? What gives the measure of inertia?
Ans: - The ability of a body to be in the state of rest or in the state of uniform motion. (Inertia means resistance
to change) Mass is the measure of inertia.
20. When a bullet is fired from a gun, the gun gives a kick in the backward direction. Explain.
Ans:- To conserve momentum
21. If a bomb at rest explodes into pieces, the pieces must travel in opposite direction.
Ans: - To conserve momentum
i.e., 0 = m1v1 + m2v2 m1v1 = – m2v2 negative sign indicates the pieces must travel in opposite direction
22. Can the coefficient of friction be greater than one?
Ans: - Yes
23. Why does the car with a flattened tyre stop sooner than the one with inflated tyre?
Ans: - The Rolling frictional force is more in the case of flattened tyre because it has more area of contact. Hence
it stops sooner.
24. What happens to the coefficient of friction if the weight of the body is doubled?
Ans: - It does not change.
