Question 11 Mark
A shell is fired from a cannon and it explodes at the top. What will be the change in its momentum and kinetic energy?
Answer
Momentum will remain constant. Kinetic energy will increase as the chemical energy of the gun powder is converted into kinetic energy.

Question 21 Mark
The velocity of an airplane is tripled. what will be the momentum? Will momentum be conserved?
Answer
The momentum of the airplane will be tripled. The momentum of the ship + air will be conserved because as the momentum of the ship increases the momentum of the air will increase in the opposite direction.

Question 161 Mark
Can an object have energy without momentum?
Answer
Yes, there is intermal energy due to thermal motion of the particles of the object, whereas the vector sum of the momentum of the moving particles can be zero.

Question 191 Mark
What should be the angle between force and displacement for maximum and minimum work?
Answer
Work, $W = FS \cos \theta$
When the value of angle is zero then the work is maximum. When angle is $90^{\circ}$ then work $W = FS \cos 90^{\circ}$, i.e. work will be zero.

Question 221 Mark
Why the work done by centripetal force on a particle moving in a circular path is zero?
Answer
This force changes only the direction of motion of the particle and the value of speed remains the same and the kinetic energy also remains the same.

Answer
The centripetal force and the displacement of the satellite are always perpendicular to each other.

Question 251 Mark
Can the scalar product of vectors be negative?
Answer
The scalar product of two vectors $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ is $\overrightarrow{ A } \cdot \overrightarrow{ B }= AB \cos \theta$. If the value of $\theta$ is more than $90^{\circ}$ then the value of $\cos \theta$ will be negative corresponding to which the value of $\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}$ will also be negative.

Question 281 Mark
The work done by the Earth's gravitational force in maintaining the Moon in its orbit (the orbit is considered circular), if it has an elliptical orbit.
Answer
Work W = 0 because displacement is always perpendicular to the applied force. For a complete orbit in an elliptical orbit, W = 0.

Question 371 Mark
A porter places a box on the roof of a bus at a height h from the ground. What will be the total work done by the porter and the gravitational field on the box?
Answer
Zero. Since the work done by the porter is equal and opposite to the work done by the force of gravity.

Question 381 Mark
A porter carried a box on the roof of a bus in 5 minutes. The second porter loaded the same box in 2 minutes. Which porter did more work?
Answer
Both did equal work since the displacement of both is equal.

Question 391 Mark
A truck and a car are moving on a straight road with equal kinetic energy. If both engines are switched off simultaneously which one will stop at a shorter distance?
Answer
 $\because \frac{1}{2} m_1 v _1^2=\frac{1}{2} m_2 v _2^2$
Here $m_1, v _1$ are the mass and velocity of the truck and $m_2, v _2$ are the mass and velocity of car.
$\begin{array}{l}\because m_1>m_2 \\ \therefore v _1< v _2\end{array}$
$\therefore$ Due to less velocity of the truck, the truck will cover less distance.
