Question
A collision experiment is done on a horizontal table kept in an elevator. Do you expect a change in the results if the elevator is accelerated up or down because of the noninertial character of the frame?
✓

Answer

Velocity and mass are only two components that affect collision between two bodies so in this change in acceleration due to gravity will not affect the collision between two bodies. (if kept horizontally)

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from (i) to (v).
A motion that repeats itself at regular intervals of time is called periodic motion. Very often, the body undergoing periodic motion has an equilibrium position somewhere inside its path. When the body is at this position no net external force acts on it. Therefore, if it is left there at rest, it remains there forever. If the body is given a small displacement from the position, a force comes into play which tries to bring the body back to the equilibrium point, giving rise to oscillations or vibrations. Every oscillatory motion is periodic, but every periodic motion need not be oscillatory. Circular motion is a periodic motion, but it is not oscillatory. The smallest interval of time after which the motion is repeated is called its period. Let us denote the period by the symbol T. Its SI unit is second. The reciprocal of T gives the number of repetitions that occur per unit time. This quantity is called the frequency of the periodic motion. It is represented by the symbol n. The relation between n and T is $\text{n}=\frac{1}{\text{T}}$. The unit of n is thus $s^{-1}$​​​​​​​. After the discoverer of radio waves, Heinrich Rudolph Hertz (1857–1894), a special name has been given to the unit of frequency. It is called hertz (abbreviated as Hz). Answer the following.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from (i) to (v). Vectors
Vectors are the physical quantities which have both magnitudes and directions and obey the triangle/parallelogram laws of addition and subtraction. It is specified by giving its magnitude by a number and its direction. e.g. Displacement, acceleration, velocity, momentum, force, etc. A vector is represented by a bold face type and also by an arrow placed over a letter, i.e. F, a, b or $\overrightarrow{\text{F}},\overrightarrow{\text{a}},\overrightarrow{\text{b}}.$ The length of the line gives the magnitude and the arrowhead gives the direction. The point P is called head or terminal point and pointO is called tail or initial point of the vector OP.

Gas molecules move in random motion inside the container. The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the continuous collision of the molecules against the walls of the container. Due to this continuous collision, the walls experience a continuous force which is equal to the total momentum imparted to the walls per second.
