The motion of a particle of mass m is given by x=0 for `t lt 0` s, x (t) = `A sin 4pit for 0 lt t(1//4) s (A gt 0)` and x=0 for `t gt (1//4)` s Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?A. The force at t = (1/8) s on the particle is `-16 pi^(2) A-m`B. The particle is acted upon by on impulse of magnitude `4pi^(2)A-m` at t = 0 s and t (1/4) sC. The particle is not acted upon by any forceD. The particle is not acted upon by a constant force |
Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::D x = 0 for t `lt `0 s. x(t) = A sin `pit` , for `0 lt t lt (1)/(4)`s x = 0 , for t `gt (1)/(4) s` For , `0 lt t lt (1)/(4)s " " v(t) = (dx)/(dt) = 4 pi A cos 4 pi t ` a(t) = acceleration = `(dv(t))/(dt) = -16 pi^(2) A sin 4 pi t ` At t = `(1)/(8) s , a(t) = - 16 pi^(2) A sin 4 pi xx (1)/(8) = - 16 pi^(2) A ` F = ma(t) = `-16 pi^(2) A xx m = - 16 pi^(2)mA` Impulse = Change in linear momentum =` F xx t = (-16 pi^(2) Am) xx (1)/(4)` = `4 pi^(2)Am` The impulse (Change in linear momentum) at t = 0 is same as , t = `(1)/(4)` s . Clearly , force depends upon A which is not constant . Hence , force is also not constant . |
