Q2261.The Earth travels in its orbit at a speed of approx. 4,400 km per hour. Why do we not feel this high speed?
Correct answer: Our relative speed with respect to the Earth along the Earth’s orbit is zero
Q2262.If the gravitational force of the Earth suddenly disappears, which are of the following will be the correct consequence?
Correct answer: The weight of an object will become zero but the mass will remain the same
Q2263.An artificial satellite orbiting around the Earth does not fall down. This is so because the attraction of Earth
Correct answer: Provides the necessary acceleration for its motion
Q2264.A Geosynchronous satellite continuously active in its orbit due to centrifugal force which is obtained by
Correct answer: The gravitational force on the satellite by the Earth
Q2265.Satellite is kept moving in its orbit around the Earth; it is due to
Correct answer: Centripetal force
Q2266.The known forces of nature can be divided into four classes, viz., gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force and strong nuclear force. With reference to them which one of the following statements is not correct?
Correct answer: Gravity is the strongest of the four
Q2267.If a person sitting in a lift, then when will he feel that his weight gets increased?
Correct answer: When the elevator going upward expeditiously
Q2268.A batsman hits a cricket ball which then rolls on a level ground. After covering a short distance, the ball comes to rest. The ball slows to a stop because
Correct answer: There is a force on the ball opposing the motion
Q2269.The time period of a pendulum
Correct answer: Depends on its length
Q2270.Why do pendulum checks usually lose time in summer?
Correct answer: The length of the pendulum increases, increasing the time period of unit oscillation
Q2271.A girl is swinging on a swing in sitting position. When the girl stands up, the period of the swing will
Correct answer: Be shorter
Q2272.A pendulum clock can run faster in
Correct answer: Winter
Q2273.Earth’s escape velocity is
Correct answer: 11.2 km/s
Q2274.What will happen if an object is thrown into space with the speed of 8 km/s?
Correct answer: It will return to Earth
Q2275.There is no atmosphere on the Moon because
Correct answer: The escape velocity of gas molecules on it is less than the root mean square velocity here
Q2276.The variation of displacement d with time t in the case of a particle falling freely under gravity from rest is correctly shown in the graph.
Correct answer: Diagram A — see source PDF page 527
Concept note All four answer choices are diagrams in the source PDF on page 527; represented as Diagram A-D without inventing text.
Q2277.A smooth plane inclined at an angle q with the horizontal as shown in the given figure. A body starts from rest and slides down on the inclined surface. The time taken by the body to reach the bottom is
Correct answer: sinq h g
Q2278.Assertion (A): The weight of human being on the Moon is1/6 in comparison to Earth. Reason (R): The Moon does not have gravity like Earth. Select the answer from following codes.
Correct answer: (A) is true, but (R) is false

Correct answer: 2
Q2280.Consider the following statements. A Simple Pendulum is set into oscillation. Then, 1. the acceleration is zero when the bob passes through the mean position. 2. in each cycle the bob attains a given velocity twice. 3. both acceleration and velocity of the bob are zero when it reaches its extreme position during the oscillation. 4. the amplitude of oscillation of the simple pendulum decreases with time. Which of these statements are correct?
Correct answer: 1, 2 and 4
