STATEMENT-1: It is easier to pull a heavy object than to push it on a level ground and
STATEMENT-2: The magnitude fo frictional force depends on the nature of the two surfaces in contact.

A

statement -I is true ,statement II is true ,Statement II is the correct explanation for statement -I

B

Statement -I is true ,Statement II is true statement II is not the correct explanation for statement -I

C

Statement -I is true ,Statement II is false

D

Statement -I is false ,Statement II is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Both statements are corect but statement ii is does not explain correctly statement 1
Correct explanation is there is increases in normal reaction when the object is pushed and then is decrease reaction when the object is pulled (but stricly not horizontal)

Choose the correct statement(s) about the frictional force between two solid surfaces 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 : Two positively charged objects may attract each other. and STATEMENT - 2 : A charge of large magnitude produces more induced charge on a body of small charge.

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.

STATEMENT -1 : In absence of air friction, it is claimed that all object fall with the same acceleration although, a heavier object is pulled towards the earth with more force than a lighter object. because STATEMENT-2 : Net external force is always equal to rate of change of linear momentum.

STATEMENT - 1 : If an object is at rest then there should not be any friction on it . STATEMENT - 2: If an object is moving then the friction acting on it has to be kinetic . STATEMENT -3 : If an object is at rest then kinetic friction cannot act on it.

STATEMENT-1 A convex lens may be diverging STATEMENT -2 The nature of a lens depends upon the refractive incides fo the material of lens and surrounding medium besides geometry.

Now when the surface is smooth , the toy car travels larger distance. It is found that friction is caused by interlocking of irregularities on the two surfaces in contact . Irregularities between two surfaces in contact. The above figure shows minute irregularities on two surfaces which are locked into one another . If we want to move any surface , some part of the external force applied is used to overcome this interlocking want to maove any surface , some part of the external force applied is used to overcome this interlocking . A rough surface has a large number of irregularities , so the force of friction is greater . A smooth surface has small number of irregularities , so the force of friction is less. 2. Normal reaction : The force of friction depends on the normal reaction also. As the normal reaction increases , the interlocking between two surfaces in contact increases as they press harder against each other and hence friction increases .

STATEMENT - 1 : The value of modulus of elasticity depends on the magnitude of the stress and strain and STATEMENT - 2 : A given material have different moduli of elasticity depending on the type of stress applied.
