MCQ
$A$ solid sphere with a velocity (of centre of mass) $v$ and angular velocity $\omega$ is gently placed on a rough horizontal surface. The frictional force on the sphere:
  • A
    must be forward (in direction of $v$)
  • B
    must be backward (opposite to $v$)
  • C
    cannot be zero
  • none of the above

Answer

Correct option: D.
none of the above
d
The sphere has a constant velocity and angular velocity, thus when it is placed on the surface no frictional force would act on it as there is no angular acceleration.

Without any acceleration there is no force involved and thus frictional force would be absent.

$Assertion :$ The pressure of water reduces when it flows from a narrow pipe to a wider pipe.
$Reason :$ Since for wider pipe area is large, so flow of speed is small and pressure also reduces proportionately.
On a temperature scale $X$. The boiling point of water is $65^{\circ} X$ and the freezing point is $-15^{\circ} X$. Assume that the $X$ scale is linear. The equivalent temperature corresponding to $-95^{\circ} X$ on the Farenheit scale would be $..........^{\circ} F$
A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $34 m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is ${f_1}$. If the train’s speed is reduced to $17\, m/s$, the frequency registered is ${f_2}$. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s then the ratio ${f_1}/{f_2}$ is
