📖 Sample Questions & Solutions
Question Type 1: Newton’s Second Law - Basic
Question (NEET 2023): A force of 50 N acts on a body of mass 10 kg. Find the acceleration produced.
Solution: Using Newton’s Second Law: F = ma Given: F = 50 N, m = 10 kg a = F/m = 50/10 = 5 m/s²
Key Concepts: Direct application of F=ma, unit consistency
Question Type 2: Connected Bodies
Question (NEET 2022): Two masses m₁ = 2 kg and m₂ = 3 kg are connected by a string passing over a smooth pulley. Find the acceleration of the system.
Solution:
- For m₁ (2 kg): T - 2g = 2a
- For m₂ (3 kg): 3g - T = 3a
- Adding: (3g - 2g) = 5a
- g = 5a
- a = g/5 = 9.8/5 = 1.96 m/s²
Key Concepts: Free body diagrams, system approach, simultaneous equations

🔄 Friction (45 Questions - 25%)
📋 Sub-topic Breakdown
Concept | Questions | Difficulty | Success Rate | Avg. Time |
---|---|---|---|---|
Static Friction | 15 | Medium | 80% | 55s |
Kinetic Friction | 12 | Easy-Medium | 85% | 50s |
Angle of Repose | 8 | Medium | 75% | 60s |
Friction on Inclined Plane | 10 | Hard | 70% | 65s |
🎯 Important Formulas
- Static Friction: fₛ ≤ μₛN (where μₛ is coefficient of static friction)
- Kinetic Friction: fₖ = μₖN (where μₖ is coefficient of kinetic friction)
- Angle of Repose: tan θ = μₛ
- Friction on Incline: Component analysis with normal force
📖 Sample Questions & Solutions
Question: Friction on Inclined Plane
Question (NEET 2024): A block of mass 5 kg rests on an inclined plane at 30°. If coefficient of static friction is 0.4, will the block slide?
Solution:
- Component of weight along plane: mg sin θ = 5 × 9.8 × sin 30° = 24.5 N
- Normal force: N = mg cos θ = 5 × 9.8 × cos 30° = 42.4 N
- Maximum static friction: fₘₐₓ = μₛN = 0.4 × 42.4 = 16.96 N
- Since 24.5 N > 16.96 N, the block will slide
Key Concepts: Force components, friction comparison, equilibrium condition
🌀 Circular Motion (40 Questions - 22%)

Centrifugal Force (Pseudo) | 4 | Medium | 80% | 55s |
Banking of Roads | 3 | Hard | 65% | 70s |
🎯 Key Formulas
- Centripetal Force: F = mv²/r
- Centripetal Acceleration: a = v²/r = ω²r
- Banking Angle: tan θ = v²/rg (for frictionless banking)
- Critical Speed: v = √(rg tan θ)
📖 Sample Questions & Solutions
Question: Circular Motion with String
Question (NEET 2023): A stone of mass 0.5 kg is tied to a string of length 1 m and rotated in a vertical circle. Find the minimum speed at the top point.
Solution: At the top point, both tension and weight provide centripetal force: T + mg = mv²/r For minimum speed, T = 0: mg = mv²/r v² = gr = 9.8 × 1 = 9.8 v = √9.8 = 3.13 m/s
Key Concepts: Critical speed condition, force analysis in circular motion

Question (NEET 2022): In the arrangement shown, if the system is released from rest, find the acceleration of 5 kg block.
Solution:
- For 5 kg block: 5g - T = 5a
- For 2 kg block: T - 2g = 2a
- Adding: 3g = 7a
- a = 3g/7 = 3×9.8/7 = 4.2 m/s²
