Q: 6 n block is moving at a vetocity at 2 mls,Javed applies a force on it for some time

duration 't' in the direction of motion. As a resutt of this, the speed of the block
doubles to 4 m/s. Javed again applies some force in the direction of motion (for the
same time duration 't' as before) to double the speed of the block to 8 m/s. During
which time interval was more force required to accelerate the block and why?
I fne block required more force for its speed to change from 2 m/s to 4 mls since it was moving
with a lesser velocity.
pl fne block required more force for its speed to change from 4 m/s to I m/s since the acceleration
imparted was greater.
p The block required equal force in both cases, as the ratio of final to initial speed was the same in
both cases.
!l ruotning can be said about the forces involved unless the time interval 't' is known.
Q: 7 An appte at the top of a tree is pulled by Earth's gravity with a force of 1 N. lf the tree
were twice as tall, will the force of gravity experienced by the apple be only Ll4 as
strong as earlier?
E Yes, because the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between
the objects.
fl Yes, because the weight of the apple would be only Ll4 ot its original weight when its height is
doubled.
E No, because the apple would not be at twice the distance from the centre of the Earth.
E No, because the force would be ll2 as strong as earlier.
Q: 8 while considering the force exerted by the liquid in case of a hydraulic press or
hydraulic brake, we do not consider the force exerted on the circutar walls of the
cylinder because
ll tfre liquid cannot exert pressure on vertical walls
pl tne cylinder has metal walls and the force exerted by the liquid on the metal can be ignored
El all the forces cancel each other since they are equal and opposite except the downward force
ZI (We cannot say anything until we actually measure the forces.)

distance of 6 meters.
What can be said about the position of the two holes?
