PART–4 (xi) : IIT / JEE PYQs – Super-Advanced Consolidation (With Tricks & Decision Rules)
This section consolidates hard PYQs with decision rules, micro-tricks, and exam-speed logic. Use it to convert knowledge into marks under pressure.
PYQ–51 (JEE Advanced)
Question: A body moves with uniform speed along a curved path. What can be concluded about force?
Key Idea:
Uniform speed does not imply zero force if direction changes.
Solution:
Direction of velocity changes ⇒ acceleration exists ⇒ net force exists (perpendicular to velocity).
TRICK:
If path is curved → force ≠ 0 (even if speed constant).
PYQ–52 (JEE Advanced)
Question: A block slides down an incline. At some point, speed becomes constant. Explain.
Decision Rule:
Constant speed ⇒ net force along motion is zero.
Solution:
Component of gravity down the plane equals friction up the plane.
TIP:
Whenever speed is constant, write ΣF = 0 along the motion.
PYQ–53 (JEE Main)
Question: A force acts on a body but does no work. Give one condition.
Solution:
Force perpendicular to displacement (or velocity).
TRICK:
No work ⇔ no component along displacement.
PYQ–54 (JEE Advanced)
Question: A body is at rest under the action of several forces. What can be said about their vector sum?
Solution:
Vector sum of all forces is zero.
EXAM TRAP:
Forces may be non-zero individually but balanced collectively.
PYQ–55 (JEE Advanced)
Question: A particle’s acceleration is zero. What can be said about its motion?
Solution:
It may be at rest or moving with constant velocity.
TRICK:
a = 0 ⇒ v = constant (not necessarily zero).
ULTRA-HIGH-YIELD DECISION RULES
- Curved path ⇒ force exists.
- Constant speed ⇒ check direction change.
- No acceleration ⇒ ΣF = 0.
- No work ⇒ force ⟂ displacement.
- Equilibrium ⇒ forces balance vectorially.
30-SECOND EXAM CHECKLIST
- Is the path straight or curved?
- Is speed constant or changing?
- Is acceleration zero or non-zero?
- Which force components matter?
- Any extreme case (free fall, steady speed)?
PART–4 (xi) COMPLETED.
