Question 11 Mark
Read statement below carefully, and state, with reasons, if it is true or false: During rolling, the force of friction acts in the same direction as the direction of motion of the CM of the body.
Answer
False. Explanation: Frictional force acts opposite to the direction of motion of the centre of mass of a body. In the case of rolling, the direction of motion of the centre of mass is backward. Hence, frictional force acts in the forward direction.

Question 21 Mark
Read statement below carefully, and state, with reasons, if it is true or false: For perfect rolling motion, work done against friction is zero.
Answer
True. Explanation: When perfect rolling begins, the frictional force acting at the lowermost point becomes zero. Hence, the work done against friction is also zero.

Question 31 Mark
Read statement below carefully, and state, with reasons, if it is true or false: A wheel moving down a perfectly frictionless inclined plane will undergo slipping (not rolling) motion.
Answer
True.Explanation:
The rolling of a body occurs when a frictional force acts between the body and the surface. This frictional force provides the torque necessary for rolling. In the absence of a frictional force, the body slips from the inclined plane under the effect of its own weight.

Question 41 Mark
Read statement below carefully, and state, with reasons, if it is true or false: The instantaneous acceleration of the point of contact during rolling is zero.
Answer
False. Explanation: When a body is rolling, its instantaneous acceleration is not equal to zero. It has some value.

Question 51 Mark
Read statement below carefully, and state, with reasons, if it is true or false: The instantaneous speed of the point of contact during rolling is zero.
Answer
True. Explanation: Rolling can be considered as the rotation of a body about an axis passing through the point of contact of the body with the ground. Hence, its instantaneous speed is zero.
