10. Method - I
As cylinder will remains in contact with wedge A
Vx = 2u
As it also remain in contact with wedge B
u sin 30° = Vy cos30° – Vx sin30°
sin 30 U sin 30
Vy = Vx +

Vy = Vx tan30° + u tan 30°
Vy = 3u tan30° = 3u

V= Vx2  Vy2 = 7 u Ans.

Method - II
In the frame of A

3u sin 30º = Vycos30º

 Vy = 3u tan 30º = 3u

14. Let acceleration produce by air is 'a' than for upward motion
net acceleration = g – a

2H
so t1 = (g  a )

for downward motion

net acceleration = g + a

2H
so t2 = (g  a )

Now t1 > t2 Ans.

15. For observer in train both the situations are same.

16. Acceleration of charge A = 0

2mg sin 30 º mg sin 

17. Acceleration =
2m  m
given a = g/6
g( 2 sin 30º  sin )
so = g/6
3
 sin  = ½
  = 30º

18. The free body diagram of cylinder is as shown.

Since net acceleration of cylinder is horizontal,
2
NAB cos30° = mg or NAB = mg .... (1)
3
and NBC – NAB sin30° = ma or NBC = ma + NAB sin 30° .... (2)
Hence NAB remains constant and NBC increases with increase in a.

19. Acceleration of bolt with respect to car

Bolt have acceleration perpendicular to inclined plane with respect to car so it will hit the surface of car at
point q as shown
so distance from point P = 3m

21. A non-accelerated frame is defined as inertial frame.

Due to revolution of earth around sun it is accelerated towards the sun. Hence frame of option (B) is not an inertial
frame.
Again due to rotation of earth about its axis a frame of option (D) is also an accelerated frame that is why it cannot
be considered an inertial frame.
