Understanding Harry's Injury
Harry was playing football and experienced an injury related to the stretching or tearing of his ligaments while kicking the ball.
Identifying Injury Types
Let's examine the different types of injuries mentioned in the options to determine which one best describes Harry's situation:
- Contusion: This is commonly known as a bruise. It happens when a direct impact damages soft tissues and blood vessels beneath the skin, causing swelling and discoloration. It does not typically involve ligaments directly.
- Avulsion: An avulsion injury occurs when a ligament or tendon pulls off a piece of the bone it is attached to. This is a more severe injury involving bone fragmentation.
- Strain: A strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon. Tendons are tissues that connect muscles to bones. Strains happen when these tissues are overstretched or torn, often due to sudden force or overuse.
- Sprain: A sprain is an injury specifically to a ligament. Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect one bone to another bone at a joint. A sprain occurs when a ligament is stretched beyond its normal capacity or torn, often due to a sudden twist, fall, or impact that forces a joint out of its normal position.
Matching Harry's Injury
The question states that Harry suffered from the stretching or tearing of his ligaments. Based on the definitions above:
- A contusion involves bruising, not ligament stretching or tearing.
- An avulsion involves pulling bone away, which is different from simple ligament stretching or tearing.
- A strain involves muscles or tendons, not ligaments.
- A sprain directly matches the description of stretching or tearing ligaments.
Kicking a football can often lead to sudden movements or awkward landings that put stress on the ankle or foot joints, potentially overstretching or tearing the stabilizing ligaments. Therefore, the injury described is a Sprain.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a 20 m high building with a speed of 12 m/s. It hits the ground at a distance R from the building. Taking g = 10 m/s2 and neglecting air resistance will give :
A sphere of volume V is made of a material with lower density than water. While on Earth, it floats on water with its volume f1V (f1 < 1) submerged. On the other hand, on a spaceship accelerating with acceleration a < g (g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth) in outer space, its submerged volume in water is f2V. Then:
A railway wagon (open at the top) of mass M1 is moving with speed v1 along a straight track. As a result of rain, after some time it gets partially filled with water so that the mass of the wagon becomes M2 and speed becomes v2. Taking the rain to be falling vertically and the water stationery inside the wagon, the relation between the two speeds v1 and v2 is :
Consider the following statements:
1. Distance between the longitudes becomes zero on North Pole and South Pole.
2. Distance between the longitudes is maximum on the Equator.
3. Number of longitudes is more than number of latitudes.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
One block of 2⋅0 kg mass is placed on top of another block of 3⋅0 kg mass. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0⋅2. The bottom block is pulled with a horizontal force F such that both the blocks move together without slipping. Taking acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2, the maximum value of the frictional force is :
