A plank is placed along the path on which a wheel barrow containing sand is pushed at a construction site to prevent it from sticking as illustrated in the diagram given. The large area of the plank prevents the wheel barrow from getting stuck by

A.

increasing the reaction on the ground

B.

increasing the pressure on the ground

C.

decreasing the pressure on the ground

D.

decreasing the weight on the ground

Correct answer is C

A uniform metre rule is balanced on a fulcrum placed at the 35cm mark by suspending a mass of 120g at the 10cm mark. Calculate the mass of the metre rule.

A.

60g

B.

80g

C.

120g

D.

200g

Correct answer is D

Clock-wise moment = Anti-clock wise

Hence 120 × (35−10)= Xg ×(50−35)

120 × 25 = Xg × 15 

Xg = 200g

The two person of a body undergoing a uniformly accelerated motion are (10s, 10ms-1) and (30s, 50ms-1). On the velocity-time graph pf the body.

A.

0.5ms-2

B.

2.0ms-2

C.

10.0ms-2

D.

40.0ms-2

Correct answer is B

Slope = a = \(\frac{\deltav}{\deltat}\)

= \(\frac{50 - 10}{30 - 10}\)

= 2.0ms-2
