A ball of mass \(150\ \text{g}\) starts moving with an acceleration of \(20\ \text{m/s}^2\) when hit by a force, which acts on it for \(0.1\ \text{s}\). The impulsive imparted is:

1. \(0.5\ \text{N-s}\)
2. \(0.1\ \text{N-s}\)
3. \(0.3\ \text{N-s}\)
4. \(1.2\ \text{N-s}\)

Rocket engines lift a rocket from the Earth's surface because high-velocity exhaust gases:

1. push against the Earth.

2. push against the air.

3. react against the rocket and push it up.

4. heat up the air, which lifts the rocket.

Three forces start acting simultaneously on a particle moving with velocity \(\vec v\). These forces are represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle \(ABC\) (as shown). The particle will now move with velocity:

        

1. \(\vec v\) remaining unchanged
2. Less than \(\vec v\)
3. Greater than \(\vec v\)
4. \(\vec v\) in the direction of the largest force \(BC\)

Two blocks of masses \(2\ \text{kg}\) and \(4\ \text{kg}\) are connected vertically by a light, inextensible string, as shown in the figure. The upper block is pulled upward by another string, causing both blocks to accelerate upward at \(2\ \text{m/s}^2\). If \(T\) and \(T’\) are the tensions in the upper and lower strings, respectively, the values of \(T\) and \(T’\) are:

                   

1. \(T = 70.8\ \text{N}\ \text{and}\ T’ = 47.2\ \text{N}\)
2. \(T = 58.8\ \text{N}\ \text{and}\ T’ = 47.2\ \text{N}\)
3. \(T = 70.8\ \text{N}\ \text{and}\ T’ = 58.8\ \text{N}\)
