Question Style in MHT CET Newton's Laws of Motion PYQs

All 18 questions in this PDF are single-correct MCQs. Lift problems and machine gun problems repeat across the years.

Question Style	What it Tests
Lift problems	The weight of a man in a lift moving upward with acceleration a, and a child on a weighing machine in a descending lift
Machine gun	The force the person holding a machine gun can bear for bullets of 35 g or 40 g at 600 m/s, and for 30 g bullets at 1000 m/s
Inertial frame	Which of the given persons is in an inertial frame of reference, asked in 2026, 2025 and 2024
Impulse	A ball dropped from 20 m that rebounds to 5 m, and balls striking a wall normally and reflected back
Conveyor belt and rope	Sand dropped on a conveyor belt moving at constant velocity, and a block pulled by a rope of mass M

How to Use the Newton's Laws of Motion PYQ PDF for MHT CET

Start with the 2025 and 2026 papers first, because they hold 11 of the 18 questions.
Write the force on a gun as (mass × speed) × bullets per second before substituting.
For the inertial frame question, remember that a frame in uniform motion is inertial and an accelerating one is not.
Solve year-wise PYQs by timing yourself, as time management is crucial.
Re-attempt only the questions you got wrong, and note which formula or step you missed.
