A person jumping from a moving bus onto the road falls forward, the reason for this is
  • A
    Due to inertia of steady state, the road is left behind and the man moves forward.
  • Due to inertia of moving state, the upper part of person remains in motion while the feet come in stationary state due to coming in contact with the road.
  • C
    The person leans forward due to his old habit.
  • D
    Due to all of the above mentioned effects.

Answer: B.

One end of a string of length $l$ is connected to a particle of mass m and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed v the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) is :
(i) T$\quad$$\quad$(ii) $T -\frac{m v^2}{l}$$\quad$$\quad$(iii) $T +\frac{m v^2}{l}$$\quad$$\quad$(iv) 0
T is the tension in the string.
