The radius of one circular field is 5 m and that of the other is 13 m. Find the radius of the circular field whose area is the difference of the areas of first and second field. |
|
Answer» Let A1 = the area of the circular field whose radius is 5 m [given] A2 = the area of the circular field whose radius is 13 m [given] Now we have to find the area of circular field such that area is the difference of the areas of first and second field A3 = A2 – A1 ⇒ πr2 = π(13)2 – π(5)2 ⇒ πr2 = π(13)2 – π(5)2 ⇒ πr2 = π[(13)2 – (5)2] ⇒ r2 = 169 – 25 ⇒ r2 = 144 ⇒ r = 12 m Hence, the radius of the circular field is 12 m. |
|
| 17. |
The radius of one circular field is 20 m and that of another is 48 m. find the radius of the third circular field whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of two fields. |
|
Answer» Let A1 = the area of the circle whose radius is 20 m [given] A2 = the area of the circle whose radius is 48 m [given] Now we have to find the radius of third circle such that whose area is equal to the sum of areas of two fields. Hence, A3 = A1 + A2 ⇒ πr2 = π(20)2 + π(48)2 ⇒ πr2 = π[(20)2 + (48)2] ⇒ r2 = 400 + 2304 ⇒ r = 52 m Therefore radius = 52 m |

The radius of a circle is 14 cm. Find the radius of the circle whose area is double of the area of the circle. |
|
Answer» Let the area of the circle whose radius is 14 cm be A1. We know that area of the circle = πr2 Therefore, A1 = π (14)2 Let A2 and r2 be the area and radius of the second circle respectively whose area is double the area of circle A1. A2 = 2 A1 ⇒ π (r2)2 = 2 × π (14)2 ⇒ (r2)2 = 2 × (14)2 ⇒ r2 = 14√2 cm Hence the radius of the circle A2 is 14√2 cm. |

A wire of 5024 m length is in the form of a square. It is cut and made a circle. Find the ratio of the area of the square to that of the circle. |
|
Answer» It is given that, Perimeter of the square = 5024 m ⇒ 4 × side = 5024 ⇒ Side = 5024/4 ⇒ Side = 1256 m The same wire is converted into the form of a circle. Therefore, Circumference of the circle = Perimeter of the square ⇒ 2πr = 5024 ⇒ 2 × π × r = 5024 ⇒ r = 2512/π We know that area of the square: Area of the circle = (side)2 : πr2 Area of square/ area of circle = (side)2/ πr2 Area of square/ area of circle = (1256 × 1256)/ [π × (2512/ π) × (2512/ π)] = (1256 × 1256 × 22)/ (2512 × 2512 × 7) = 11/14 Area of the square: Area of the circle = 11: 14 |

A park is in the shape of a circle of diameter 7 m. It is surrounded by a path of width 0.7 m. Find the expenditure of cementing the path at the rate of ₹ 110 per sq.m. |
|
Answer» Diameter of park = 7 m so, radius of park = r1 = 3.5 m Width of park = 0.7 m Bigger radius of park = r2 = 0.7 + 3.4 = 4.2 m Now, Area of path = area of bigger circle -area of smaller circle = Pi r22 – Pi r12 = Pi(r22 – r12) = 22/7 (4.22– 3.5 2) = 22/7(17.64 – 12.25) =16.94 m2 Also, Cost of expenditure = rate × area = 110 × 16.94 = 1864.40 Cost of Expenditure of cementing the path is ₹ 1864.40. |

Prove that the area of a circular path of uniform width h surrounding a circular region of radius r is πh (2r + h). |
|
Answer» Let radius of circular region = r Radius of circular path of uniform width h surrounding the circular region of radius, r = r + h Therefore area of path = π(r + h)2 – πr2 = πr2 + πh2 + 2πrh – πr2 = πh (2r + h) Hence the proof. |

A road which is 7 m wide surrounds a circular park whose circumference is 352 m. Find the area of road. |
|
Answer» Given circumference of park = 352 m But we know that circumference of circle = 2πr = 352 m 2 × (22/7) × r = 352 r = (352 × 7)/ 44 r = 56 m Radius of the path including the 7 m wide road = (r + 7) = 56 + 7 = 63 m Therefore area of the road = π × (63)2 – π × (56)2 A = 22/7 × 63 × 63 – (22/7) × 56 × 56 A = 22 (9 × 63 – 8 × 56) A = 22 (567 – 448) A = 2618 m2 |

Figure shows velocity-time graph for various situations. What does each graph indicate? |
|
Answer» 1. Initial velocity, u > 0. Also, velocity is constant with time. Hence, acceleration is zero. 2. As finite initial velocity is increasing with time, acceleration, a > 0 and is constant. 3. Initial velocity, u = 0. Velocity is increasing with time so, acceleration a is positive. But it is decreasing in magnitude with time. 4. Initial velocity, u = 0. Velocity is linearly increasing with time. Hence, starting from rest acceleration is constant. 5. Initial velocity, u = 0. Acceleration and velocity is increasing with time. 6. Initial velocity u > 0. Velocity decreases and ultimately comes to rest. Hence, acceleration a < 0. |

Explain the concept of relative velocity along a straight line with the help of an example. |
|
Answer» 1. Consider two trains A and B moving on two parallel tracks in the same direction. 2. Case 1: Train B overtakes train A. For a passenger in train A, train B appears to be moving slower than train A. This happens because the passenger in train A perceives the velocity of train B with respect to him/her i.e., the difference in the velocities of the two trains which is much smaller than the velocity of train A. 3. Case 2: Train A overtakes train B. For a passenger in train A, train B appears to be moving faster than train A. This happens because the passenger in train A perceives the velocity of the train B w.r.t. to him/her i.e., the difference in the velocities of the two trains which is larger than the velocity of train A. 4. If \(\overset\rightarrow{v}_A\) and \(\overset\rightarrow{v}_B\) be the velocities of two bodies then relative velocity of A with respect to B is given by \(\overset\rightarrow{v}_{AB}=\overset\rightarrow{v}_A-\overset\rightarrow{v}_B.\) 5. Similarly the velocity of B with respect to A is given by, \(\overset\rightarrow{v}_{AB}=\overset\rightarrow{v}_B-\overset\rightarrow{v}_A.\) Thus, relative velocity of an object w.r.t. another object is the difference in their velocities 6. If two objects start form the same point at t = 0, with different velocities, distance between them increases with time in direct proportion to the relative velocity between them. |

A car moving at a speed 10 m/s on a straight road is ahead of car B moving in the same direction at 6 m/s. Find the velocity of A relative to B and vice-versa. |
|
Answer» Given: vA = 10 m/s, vB = 6 m/s, To find: (i) Velocity of A relative to B (vA – vB) (ii) Velocity of B relative to A (vB – vA) Formulae: (i) vAB = vA – vB (ii) vBA = vB – vA Calculation: From formula (i), vAB = 10 – 6 = 4 m/s From formula (ii), vBA = 6 – 10 = -4 m/s -ve sign indicates that driver of car A sees the car B lagging behind at the rate of 4 m/s. ∴ vAB = 4 m/s, vBA = -4 m/s (i) Velocity of A relative to B is 4 m/s. (ii) Velocity of B relative to A is -4 m/s. |

The figure shows a plane mirror PQ at distance 20 cm from an object. The mirror is moved 15 cm away from object O to next position. What is the shift in the image of O? |
|
Answer» Given that at first the object 20 cm from the mirror. So the image is also at a distance of 20 cm from mirror (Since object distance = image distance). Now the mirror is moved 15 cm away from the object. So the image also moves 15 cm away from actual image distance before. So now the image distance is 35 cm. Therefore the image is 70 cm from the object. |

|
Answer» When the blood flows in the artery it exerts a pressure on the elastic wall of the artery which is called blood pressure. It is greater during systole (contraction) than during diastole (relaxation) of the heart. In a normal adult the blood pressure is 120/80 where systolic is 120 and diastolic pressure is 80 mm of Hg (mercury). |
