Question
Gas molecules move in random motion inside the container. The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the continuous collision of the molecules against the walls of the container. Due to this continuous collision, the walls experience a continuous force which is equal to the total momentum imparted to the walls per second.

Projectile motion is a form of motion in which an object or particle is thrown with some initial velocity near the earth’s surface and it moves along a curved path under the action of gravity alone. The path followed by a projectile is called its trajectory, which is shown below. When a projectile is projected obliquely, then its trajectory is as shown in the figure below.

According to Hooke’s law, within the elastic limit, the stress applied to a body is directly proportional to the corresponding strain.

$\text{Stress}\propto\text{Strain}$ or Stress = E × Strain or $\frac{\text{Stress }}{\text{Strain}}=\text{E}$

Where E is the constant of proportionality and is known as coefficient of elasticity or modulus of elasticity. Hooke’s law is an empirical law and is found to be valid for most materials. However, there are some materials which do not exhibit this linear relationship.

  1. Decreases
  2. Increases
  3. Becomes zero
  4. Remains constant

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5.
Torque and Centre of Gravity Torque is also known as moment of force or couple. When a force acts on a particle, the particle does not merely move in the direction of the force but it also turns about some point. So, we can define the torque for a particle about a point as the vector product of position vector of the point where the force acts and with the force itself.
