Q1. In a frictionless environment, if a 5 kg block is pushed with a force of 20 N, what will be its acceleration?
Solution:
Using F = ma, we have 20 N = 5 kg * a, thus a = 20 N / 5 kg = 4 m/s².

Q2. A 100 kg crate is resting on a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.5, what is the maximum static friction force?
Solution:
The maximum static friction force Ff = μs * N = 0.5 * (100 kg * 9.81 m/s²) = 490.5 N.

Q3. A 10 kg block is sliding on a surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.3. What is the frictional force acting on the block?
Solution:
The frictional force can be calculated using F_friction = μ * N, where N = mg = 10 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 98.1 N. Thus, F_friction = 0.3 * 98.1 N = 29.43 N, approximately 30 N.

Q5. A cyclist travels at a speed of 15 m/s. How long will it take to cover a distance of 300 meters?
Solution:
Using the formula time = distance/speed, we have time = 300 m / 15 m/s = 20 s.

Q6. If a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 3 m/s², what is its velocity after 5 seconds?
Solution:
Using the formula v = u + at, where u = 0, a = 3 m/s², and t = 5 s, we get v = 0 + (3)(5) = 15 m/s.

Q8. A 200 kg object is on a flat surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.3. What is the force of friction acting on the object?
Solution:
The force of friction Ff = μk * N = 0.3 * (200 kg * 9.81 m/s²) = 588.6 N.

Q9. Which of the following is NOT a type of support in statics?
Solution:
Sliding support is not a standard type of support in statics; the common types are fixed, pin, and roller supports.

Q10. An object is in free fall from a height of 80 m. How long will it take to reach the ground? (g = 9.8 m/s²)
Solution:
Using the formula s = ut + 0.5gt², where u = 0, s = 80 m, and g = 9.8 m/s², we solve 80 = 0 + 0.5 * 9.8 * t², giving t ≈ 4.04 s.
