(c) Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False

D

(d) Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
It is easier to pull a heavy object than to push it on a level ground. Statement-1 is true. This is because the normal reaction in the case of pulling is less as compared by pushing. `(f=muN)`. Therefore the frictional force is small in case of pulling.
Statement-2 is true but is not the correct explanation of statement-1.

Give a example to show that friction depends on the nature of two surface in contact.

STATEMENT -1 : In a tug of war game, the two teams always pull the masless rope with same magnitude of force . and STATEMENT -2 : The force exerted by any team on the rope is equal to tension developed in the rope which will be same at both the ends .

STATEMENT-1: During a turn, the value of centripetal force should be less than the limiting frictional force. STATEMENT-2: The centripetal force is provided by the frictional force between the tyre and the road.

STATEMENT-1: A block is pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a thick rope. The tension in the rope will not always be the same at all points on it. because STATEMENT-2: the tension in the rope depends on the acceleration of the block rope system and the mass of the rope.
