Solution

The correct option is D greater than $2 a$
$F - f = m a_{1}$
$a_{1} = a$ which is given
$F = f + m a_{1}$
Now applied force is doubled therefore
$2 F - f = m a_{2}$
$m a_{2} = 2 (f + m a_{1}) - f$
This gives $m a_{2} = f + m a_{1} + m a_{1} = f + 2 m a_{1}$
Therefore, clearly, $a_{2} > 2 a_{1}$
$a_{2} > 2 a$

Q. Assertion :When external force acting on a body moving on a rough horizontal surface is doubled, the acceleration of the body is doubled. Reason: The acceleration of a body moving on a rough horizontal surface is proportional to the resultant force acting on it.

Q. If you apply 12 N force to a block on a horizontal surface then it starts its movement. Now if you apply 15 N force to it then what will be the frictional force on it?

Q. A horizontal force just sufficient to move a body of mass

4 k g

lying on a rough horizontal surface, is applied on it . Coefficients of static and kinetic friction are

0.8

0.6

respectively. If the force continues to act even after the body has started moving, the acceleration of the body is:

(g = 10 m s^{- 2})

Q. A body of mass

2 k g

is moving on a rough horizontal surface with an acceleration of

5 m s^{- 2}

and when the horizontal force is doubled, it gets an acceleration of

18 m s^{- 2}

. Then the coefficient of friction between the body and the horizontal surface is : (assume

g = 10 m s^{- 2}

)
