JEE Main 2025 · 8 Apr · Shift 2 · Newton's Second Law

A body of mass 2 kg moving with velocity of v⃗in=3i^+4j^ ms−1\vec{v}_{in} = 3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} \text{ ms}^{-1} enters into a constant force field of 6N directed along positive z-axis. If the body remains in the field for a period of 53\frac{5}{3} seconds, then velocity of the body when it emerges from force field is.

  1. (A)

    3i^+4j^+5k^3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + \sqrt{5} \hat{k}

  2. (B)

    4i^+3j^+5k^4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}

  3. (C)

    3i^+4j^−5k^3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}

  4. (D)

    3i^+4j^+5k^3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}

Answer: (D)

JEE Main 2024 · 9 Apr · Shift 1 · Pulley and Wedge Systems

A light unstretchable string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses m1m_1 and m2m_2. If the acceleration of the system is g8\frac{g}{8}, then the ratio of the masses m2m1\frac{m_2}{m_1} is :

  1. (A)5:35: 3
  2. (B)8:18: 1
  3. (C)9:79: 7
  4. (D)4:34: 3

Answer: (C)

JEE Main 2023 · 10 Apr · Shift 2 · Newton's First Law

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A\mathbf{A} and the other is labelled as Reason R\mathbf{R}

Assertion A : An electric fan continues to rotate for some time after the current is switched off.

Reason R : Fan continues to rotate due to inertia of motion.

In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  1. (A)A is not correct but R is correct
  2. (B)A is correct but R is not correct
  3. (C)Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
  4. (D)Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Answer: (C)
