A force of 100 N gives a mass m1, and a acceleration of 10 ms-2 and of 20 ms-2 to a mass m2. What acceleration must be given to it if both the masses are tied together? |
|
Answer» Suppose, a = acceleration produced if m1 and m2 are tied together. F = 100 N. Let a1 and a2 be the acceleration produced in m1 and m2 respectively. ∴ a1 = 10 ms-2, a2 = 20 ms-2 (given) Again m1 = \(\frac{F}{a_1}\) and m2 = \(\frac{F}{a_2}\) or m1 = \(\frac{100}{10}\) = 10 kg and m2 = \(\frac{100}{20}\) = 5 kg ∴ m1 + m2 = 10 + 5 = 15 So, a = \(\frac{F}{m_1+m_2}\) = \(\frac{100}{15}\) = \(\frac{20}{3}\) = 6.67 ms-2. |

|
Answer» No. From Newton’s second law, we have. \(\frac{dP}{dt}=F\) …. (i) dP = Fdt …. (ii) From equation (ii), we can infer that a small force acting for a longer time can produce same change in momentum of a body as a large force acting in the same direction for a short time. Hence, the given statement is incorrect. |

Explain why a cricketer moves his hands backwards while holding a catch. |
|
Answer» 1. In the act of catching the ball, by drawing hands backward, cricketer allows longer time for his hands to stop the ball. 2. By Newton’s second law of motion, force applied depends on the rate of change of momentum. 3. Taking longer time to stop the ball ensures smaller rate of change of momentum. 4. Due to this the cricketer can stop the ball by applying smaller amount of force and thereby not hurting his hands. |
