Q. A Wheel in uniform motion about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plan,e is considered to be in mechanical equilibrium, because no net external force of torque is required to sustain its motion. However the particles that constitute the wheel do experience a centripetal force. The acceleration is directed towards the centre. How do you reconcile this fact with the wheel being in equilibrium? How would you set a half wheel into uniform motion, about an axis passing through the centre of mass of the wheel and perpendicular to the plane? Will you require external forces to sustain the motion?

Q. Assertion :In circular motion, work done by centripetal force is not zero always Reason: If the speed of a particle increases or decreases in circular motion, net force acting on the particle does not remain towards centre

Q. During a constant accelerated motion of a particle (initial velocity of particle is zero)

Q. Choose the correct option:
i. Accelerated motion means acceleration and velocity have same direction.
ii. It is possible that particle have zero acceleration with non-zero velocity.
iii. When acceleration of the particle is positive, it is under accelerated motion.

Q. A particle, initially at rest is subject to two forces; one is constant, the other is a retarding force proportional to the particle velocity. In the subsequent motion of the particle,
