A trolley of initial mass `m_0` is kept over a smooth surface as shown in figure. A constant force F is applied on it. Sand kept inside the trolley drains out from its floor at a constant rate of `(mu)kg//s`. After time t find: (a) total mass of trolley and sand. (b) net force on the trolley. (c) velocity of trolley.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) Total mass of trolley and sand
`m="initial mass-mass of sand drained out"`
or `m=m_0-mut`
(b) Let v is the velocity of trolley at time t. Then, velocity of sand drained out is also v or relative velocity is zero. Hence, no thrust force will act in this case. Therefore,
`F_(n et)=F`
(c) `F_(n et)=F`
or `ma=F` or `m(dv)/(dt)=F`
or `(m_0-mut)(dv)/(dt)=F`
`:. int_0^vdv=int_0^t(Fdt)/(m_0-mut)`
Solving this equation we get,
`v=1/mulog_e((m_0)/(m_0-mut))`

Sand drops from a stationary hopper at the rate of `5kg//s` on to a conveyor belt moving with a constant speed of `2m//s`. What is the force required to keep the belt moving and what is the power delivered by the motor, moving the belt?

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
Relative velocity of sand is `2m//s` in backward direction. Since mass is increasing, therefore thrust force is in the direction of relative velocity (backwards).
Thrust force `=v_r(+(dm)/(dt))`
`=(5)(2)=10N` (backwards)
`:.` Force needed `(F_(ext))` to move the belt with constant velocity `(F_(n et)=0)` is
`F_(ext)=F=10N` (in forward direction)
`P=F_(ext) v=20W`

A wedge having a vertical slot in it is placed on smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. Two blocks are arranged as shown in the figure. The system is released from rest calculate the speed of the wedge when block 1 comes down a distance `h`.

Answer» We define system wedge `+` block 1 and block 2
Observation: No external force acts on the system in horizontal direction:
Conclusion: Both the linear momentum direction.
Analysis of Problem: If block 1 moves down a distance h with will be conserved for the system. respect to wedge, the block 2 will also slide towards left by the same distance with respect to wedge.
As wedge is not moving in vertical direction, the displacement of block 1 with respect to wedge will be same as with respect to the ground.
The linear momentum of the system in horizontal direction is conserved. Initial linear momentum of the system is zero. As block 2 moves towards left, to conserve linear momentum the wedge will start moving towards right.
As block 1 is moving the slot in the wedge, the velocity of block 1 horizontal direction will be same as the velocity of wedge.
Block 1 will also move in vertical direction with respect to wedge as well as with respect to ground.
The velocity of block 2 with respect to wedge will be same as velocity of block I in vertical direction as both are connected with same string.
Final step: Let velocity of block 1 in vertical direction be `v`. Hence velocity of block 2 with respect to wedge will be `v` towards left. Let velocity of wedge towards right be `V`.
Hence velocity of block 2 towards left (with respect to ground) will be (`v - V`).
Now using conservation of linear momentum for the system in horizontal direction.
`(M+m)V-m(v-V)=0`
as `m=3mimpliesv=5V`..............i
Now using conservation of mechanical energy for the system `/_K+/_U=0`
`[(1/2(M+m)V^(2)+1/2m(v-V)^(2)+1/2mv^(2))-0]+[-mg]=0`
`=1/2(3m+m)V^(2)+1/2m(5V-V)^(2)+1/2m(5V)^(2)=mgh`
`V=sqrt((2gh)/45)`

Figure shows a fixed wedge on which two blocks of masses `2 kg` and `3 kg` are placed on its smooth inclined surfaces. When the two blocks are released from rest, find the acceleration of centre of mass of the two blocks.

Answer» Block `A` slides with aceleration `g//2` and block `B` slides wth acceleration `sqrt(3)g//2`. Now the acceleration of centre of mass of the system of blocks `A` and `B` can be given both in `x` and in `y` directions as:
`a_(x)=(3xx(sqrt3g)/2cos60^(@)-2xxg/2cos30^(@))/5=sqrt(3g)/20`
and `a_(y)=(3xx(sqrt(3)g)/2sin60^(@)+2xxg/2sin30^(@))/5=(11g)/20`
Thus acceleration of the centre of mass of the system is given as
`a_(CM)=sqrt(a_(x)^(2)+a_(r)^(2)=sqrt((sqrt(3))/(20)6+((11g)/(20)^(2))=sqrt(31)/1g`

A boy of mass 25 kg stands on a board of maas 10 kg which in turn is kept on a frictionless horizontal ice surface. The boy maks a jump with a velocity component 5m/s in a horizontal direction with respect to the ice. With what velocity does the board recoil? with what rate are tehboy and theboard separting from each other?

Answer» Consider the board boy as a system. The exterN/Al forces on this system are a. weight of the system and b. normal contact force by the ice surface. Both these force are vertical and there is no exterN/Al force in horizontal directio. The horizontal component of linear momentum of the board+boy system is therefore constant.
If the board redcoils at a speed v
`0=(25kg)xx(5m/s)-(10kg)v`
or, `v=12.5m/s`
The boy and the board are separating wilth a rate
`5m/s+12.5m/s=17.5m/s`

Figure shows a flat car of mass `M` on a frictionless road. A small massless wedge is fitted on it as shown. A small ball of mass `m` is released from the top of the wedge, it slides over it and falls in the hole at distance `l` from the initial position of the ball. Find the distance the flat car moves till the ball gets into the hole.

Answer» When the bell falls into the hole, with respect to the flat car, the bail travels a horizontal distance `l`. During this motion, to conserve momentum and to maintain the position of centre of mass, the car moves towards left, say by a distance `x`. Thus, the total distance travelled by the ball towards right is `(l-x)`. As centre of mass remains at rest, the change in mass moments of the two (ball and car) about any point must be equal to zero. Hence
`m(l-x)=MXimpliesm=(ml)/(M+m)`

A block of mass M is placed on the top of a bigger block of mass 10 M as shown in figure. All the surfaces are frictionless. The system is released from rest, then the distance moved by the bigger block at the instant the smaller block reaches the ground :

Answer» I the bigger block moves towards right by a distnce X, the smaller block will move towasrds left by a distance (2.2m-X). Taking the two blocks together as the system, there is no horizontal exterN/Al force on it. The centre of mass which was ast rest initially, will remain at the sme horizontal position.
thus, ` M(2.2m-X)=MX`
or, `2.2m=11x`

A ball of mass in `m= 1 kg` is hung vertically by a thread of length `l = 1.50 m`. Upper end of the thread is attached to the ceiling of a trolley of mass `M= 4 kg`. Initially, the trolley is stationary and it is free to move along horizontal rails without friction. A shell of mass `m=1 kg`, moving horizontally with velocity `v_(0) = 6 m//s` collides with the ball and gets stuck with it. As a result, the thread starts to deflect towards right. The maximum deflection of the thread with the vertical isA. `cos^(-1)(4/5)`B. `cos^(-1)(3/5)`C. `cos^(-1)(2/3)`D. `cos^(-1)(3/4)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
When shell strikes the ball and gets stuck with it, combined body of mass `2m` starts to move to the right, Let velocity of the combined body (just after collision) be `v_(1)`. According to law of conservation of momentum,
`(m+m) v_(1)=mv_(0)`
`v_(1)=(v_(0))/2=3m//s`
As soon as the combined body starts to move rig wards, thread becomes inclined to the vertical. Horizontal com tension retards the combined body while trolley accelerate rightwards due to the same component of tension.
Inclination of thread with the vertical continues to increase till velocities of both (combined body and trolley) become identical or combined body comes to rest relative to the trolley. Let velocity at that instant of maximum inclination of thread be `v`. according to law of conservation of momentum,
`(2m+M)v=2mv_(1)`
or `v=1m//s`
During collision of ball and shell, a part of energy is lost. But after that there is no loss of energy., Hence, after collision, kinetic energy lost is used up in increasing gravitational potential energy of the combined body.
If maximum inclination of threads with the vertical is `theta`, then according to law of conservation of energy.
`=1/2(2m)v_(1)^(2)-1/2(2m+M)v^(2)=2mg(l-lcostheta)`
`costheta=0.8` or `theta=37^(@)`

Two identical smooth balls are projected from points `O` and `A` on the horizontal ground with same speed of projection. The angle of projection in each case is `30^(@)`.The distance between `O` and `A` is `100 m`. The balls collide in mid-air and return to their respective points of projection. If the coefficient of restitution is `0.7`, find the speed of projection of either ball (in `m//s`) correct to nearest integer. (Take `g = 10 ms^(-2)` and `sqrt(3)=1.7)`

Answer» Correct Answer - `38m//s`
The collision does not alter the vertical component of the velocity of either ball so `t_(1)+t_(2)=T`
`implies50/(ucos30^(@))+50/(0.7ucos30^(@))=(2usin30^(@))/10impliesu~~38m//s`

A bullet of mass 50 g is fired rom below into the bob of mass 450 g of a long simple pendulum as hown in figure. The bullet premains inside the bob and the bob rises thrugh a height of 1.8 m. Find the speed of the bullet. Take `g=10 m/s^2`

Answer» Let the speed of the bullet b v. Let the common velocity of the bullet and the bob, after the bullet is embedded ito the bob, is V. By the principle of conservation of linear momentum,
`V=((0.05kg)v)/(0.45kg+0.05kg)=v/10`
The string becomes loose and the bob will go up with a deceleration of `g=10m/s^2`. As it comes to rest at a height of 1.8 m, usn the equation `v^2=u^2+2ax,
`1.8m=((v/10)^2)/(2xx10m/s^2)`
or `v=60 m/s

A projectile is fired at a spedd of 100 m/s at an angel of `37^0` above the horizontal. At the highest point, the projectile breaks into two parts of mass ratio 1:3 the smaller coming to rest. Findthe distance from the launching point to the where the heavier piece lands.

Answer» See ure. At the highest point, the projectrile has horizontal velocity. The lighter part comes to rest. Hence the heavier part willl move with inceased horizontal velocity. In vertical direction both parts have zero velocity and undergo same acceleration, hence they willl cover equal vertical displacements in a given time. Thus both will hit the ground together As interN/Al forces do not affect the motion of teh centre of mass, the centre of mass hits the ground at teh positin where the origiN/Al projectile would have landed. Te range of the origiN/Al projectile is
`x_(CM)=(2u^2sinthetacostheta)/g=(2xx10^4xx3/5xx4/5)/10m`
=960m.
The centre of mass will hit the grouond at this position. As the smaller block comes to rest after breaking. It falls down vertically and hits the ground at half othe range i.e., at `x=480m`. If the heavier block hits the ground at `x_2` then
`x_(CM)=(m_1x_1+m_2x_2)/(m_2+m_2)`
`960m=(M/4xx480m+(3M)/4xxx_2)`
or,
`x_2=1120m`

Two particles of masses 2 kg and 4 kg are approaching each other with acceleration `1 ms^(-2)` and `2 ms^(-2)`, respectively, on a smooth horizontal surface. Find the acceleration of center of mass of the system.

Answer» The acceleration of center of mass of the system
`a_(CM) = |m_(1)a_(2) + m_(2)a_(2)|/(m_(1) + m_(2))`
`rArr a_(CM) = |m_(1)a_(2) + m_(2)a_(2)|/(m_(1) + m_(2))`
`=(2xx 1-4xx2)/(2+4) = -1 ms^(2)`
[-ve sign because direction of 4 kg is opposite to that of 2kg]
Since `m_(2)a_(2) gt m_(1)a_(1)` so the direction of acceleration of center of mass will be directed towards `a_(1)`

An ideal spring is permanently connected between two blocks of masses `M` and `m`. The blocks-spring system can move over a smooth horizontal table along a straight line along the length of the spring as shown in Fig.The blocks are brought nearer to compress the spring and then released. In the subsequent motion, A. initially they move in opposite directions with velocities inversely proportional to their massesB. the ratio of their velocities remains constantC. linear momentum and energy of the system remain conservedD. the two blocks will Oscillate about their centre of mass which remains stationary

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
Since the system of two blocks and a spring is placed on as smooth horizontal floor, therefore no external horizontal force acts on the system.
Since the system is initially at rest, therefore centre of mass of the system will remain stationary and the block will oscillate with the same frequency. it means option d is correct.
Since the system is initially ast rest and centre of mass stationary, therefore centre of mas cannot move or the momentum of the system remains equal to zero. it means, moment of two blocks are numerically equal but they are in opposite directions. therefore, ratio of magnitude of velocity of the two blocks will be in inverse ratio of their masses. Hence, option a is correct.
Since ratio of mass is constant. therefore the ratio of their velocity remain constant. it means that option b is also correct.
Since the system is on smooth horizontal floor, therefore no energy loss takes place. hence, linear momentum and energy of the system remain conserved. therefore, option c is also correct.
