The driver of a three-wheeler moving with a speed of 36 km/h sees a child standing in the middle of the road and brings his vehicle to rest in 4.0 s just in time to save the child. What is the average retarding force on the vehicle? The mass of the three-wheeler is 400 kg and the mass of the driver is 65 kg.

Answer»

Initial speed of the three-wheeler, u = 36 km/h

Final speed of the three-wheeler, v = 10 m/s

Time, t = 4 s

Mass of the three-wheeler, m = 400 kg

Mass of the driver, m' = 65 kg

Total mass of the system, M = 400 + 65 = 465 kg

Using the first law of motion, the acceleration (a) of the three-wheeler can be calculated as: v = u + at

a = (v - u)/t = (0 - 10)/4 = -2.5 m/s2 

The negative sign indicates that the velocity of the three-wheeler is decreasing with time.

Using Newton’s second law of motion, the net force acting on the three-wheeler can be calculated as:

F = Ma

= 465 × (–2.5) = –1162.5 N

The negative sign indicates that the force is acting against the direction of motion of the three-wheeler

The driver of a three wheeler moving with a speed of 36 kmh-1 sees a child standing in the middle of the road and brings his vehicle to rest in 4.0 s just in time to save the child. What is the average retarding force on the vehicle? The mass of the three-wheeler is 400 kg and the mass of the driver is 65 kg.

Answer»

Here u = 36 kmh-1 = 36 x 5/18 = 10 ms-1

v = 0; t = 4s

and total mass = 400 + 65 = 465 kg

As v = u + at, ⇒ 10 + 4a = 0

⇒ a = -2.5 ms-2

Retarding force = 465 x 2.5 = 1162.5 N

Kandahar was a problem for the Mughal rulers. Evaluate this statement.

Answer»

Kandahar was an important military and commercial city. This was a fort-city and there were conflicting claims about this between the Mughals and the Safavids of Iran. Initially, Kandahar was under Humayun. Two years after the death of Humayun Iran took possession of that city. In 1595 Akbar recaptured it. Although the Safavids had diplomatic ‘ relations with the Mughals, they continued to claim Kandahar. In 1613, Shah Jahan sent a diplomatic representative to the Court of Shah Abbas in Iran. The idea was to let the Mughals continue to have power over Kandahar. But the mission failed. In 1622, the Persian Army attacked Kandahar. The Mughal army was not battle-ready to defend the place. They were forced to give up Kandahar to Safavids. All efforts to recapture it later failed.

Explain sequentially the process of 'Translation' in a prokaryote. Name the cellular factory where this process occurs.

Answer»

(1) Small subunit of ribosome encounters mRNA and protein synthesis process begins. 2 sites in the large subunit for subsequent amino acids to bind to and thus be close enough to each other for the formation of the peptide bond. 

(2) The order and sequence of the amino acid are defined by the bases in m-RNA. 

(3) In the first phase the amino acid are activated in the presence of ATP and linked to t-RNA- (aminoacylation of t-RNA) 

(4) Ribozyme/Ribosome acts as a catalyst for formation of peptide bond. 

(5) A translational unit has a sequence of RNA that is flanked by start codon (AUG) at 5' end and stop codon at 3'end (UAA, UAG, UGA). 

(6) Initiation-ribosome binds to m-RNA at start codon (recognized by tRNA). 

(7) Elongation phase: Amino acids linked to tRNA bind to appropriate codon of mRNA by complementary base pairing. 

(8) Ribosome moves codon to codon along mRNA- polypeptide sequence formed as dictated by DNA & represented by mRNA. 

(9) At the end termination occurs by a release factor which binds to stop codon releasing the polypeptide. 

Ribosome is the cellular factory.
