Fig. shows the position-time graph of a particle of mass 4 kg. What is the (a) Force on the particle for t < 0, t > 4s, 0 < t < 4s ? (b) Impulse at t = 0 and t = 4s ? (Consider one dimensional motion only)

Answer»

(a) For t < 0. No force as Particles is at rest. 

For t > 4s, No force again particle comes at rest. 

For 0 < t < 4s, as slope of OA is constant so velocity constant i.e., a = 0, so force must be zero. 

(b) Impulse at t = 0 

Impulse = change in momentum 

I = m(v – u) = 4(0 – 0·75) = 3 kg ms–1 

Impulse at t = 4s 

I = m (v – u) = 4 (0 – 0.75) = – 3 kg ms–1

Answer»

We know that we need to supply about 340joule of heat per g, to convert ice at 0°C, into water at 0°C. It follows that that ice-cream, at 0°C, will draw more heat (about 340 joule more per gram) from burbody than water at 0°C. It, therefore, feels colder than water at 0°C.

15.
