A particle starts moving rectilinearly at time `t=0` such that its velocity `v` changes with time `t` according to the equation `v=t^(2)-t`, where `t` is in seconds and `v` in ` s^(-1)`. Find the time interval for which the particle retards.

Answer» Acceleration of the particle, `vec a=(d vec v)/(dt)=2t-1`
The particle retards when acceleration is oppostie to velocity. Hence, acceleration vector and velocity vector should be opposite to each other or the dot product of `vec a` and `vec v` should be negative.
`rArr vec a. vec v lt 0`
`rArr (2t-1)(t^(2)-t) lt 0`
`rArr t (2t-1)(t-1) lt 0`
`t` is always positive.
`because (2t-1)(t-1) lt 0`
`rArr` Either `2t-1 lt 0` or ` t-1 lt 0`
`rArr t lt (1)/(2) s` and `t lt 1 s`. This is not possible.
or `2t-1 lt 0` and `t-1 lt 0 rArr t g t (1)/(2)s` and `tlt 1 s`. Hencec, the required time interval is `(1)/(2)s g t t g t1 s`.

The position of a particle moving along x-axis is related to time `t` as follow: `x=2 t^(2)-t^(3)`, where `x` is in meters and `t` is in seconds. a. What is the maximum positive displacement of the particle along the `x` axis and at what instant does it attain it? b. Describe the motion of the particle. c. What is the destamce covered in the first three seconds? d. What is its desplacement in the first four seconds ? e. What is the particle`s average speed and average veloctry in the first `3` seconds ? f. What particles instantaneous acceleration at the instant of its maximum positiv `x` displacement? ltbtgt g. What is the average acceleration between the interval `t=2` to `t=4 s`?.

Answer» The derivative of `x` w.r.t. time will give velocity of the particle in relation with time.
`v=(dx)/(dt)=4t-3t^(2)` ..(i)
The double derivative of `x` w.r.t. time will give velocity of the particle in relation with time.
`a=(d^(2)x)/(dt^(2))=4-6t`.........(ii)
a. For minimum and maximum displacement, `dx//dt=0`.
Thus,
`(dx)/(dt)=4t-3t^(2)=0`
`t(4-3t)=0 rArr` either `t=0` or `t=(4)/(3) s`
Also, for maxima, double derivativ `x` should be negative, i.e.,`(d^(2)x)/(dt^(2)) lt0`.
`(d^(2)x)/(dt^(2))=4-6t`
At`t=0: (d^(2)x)/(dt^(2))=4-(0)=4`(positive)
And at t=(4)/(3) s: (d^(2)x)/(dt^(2))=4-6((4)/(3))=4-8=-4`(negative) (negative)
Threfore, the porticle is at maximum displacement at
`t=(4)/(3) s` and the corresponding displacement is
`x_(max)=2((4)/(3))^(2)-((4)/(3))^(3)=(32)/(27)m`.

A particle moving with uniform acceleration from `A` to `B` along a straight line has velcities `v_(1)` and `v_(2)` at `A` and `B` respectively. If `C` is the mid-point between `A` and `B` then determine the velocity of the particle at `C` . .

Answer» Let `v` be the velocity of the particle at `c`. Assume the acceleration of the particle to be `A` and distance between `A` and `B` be `x`. To find the velocity `c`, consider the motion from `A`and `C`:
Applying `v^(2)-u^(2)=2` as, we get `v^(2)-v_(1)^(2)=2a(x)/(2)`
`rArr v^(2)-v_(1)^(2)=ax`........ (i)
Appying the same equation from `C` to `B`. we get`
`V_(2)^(2)=2a(x)/(2) rArr v_(2)^(2)-v^(2)=ax` ......(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get `v=sqrt(v_(1)^(2)+v_(2)^(2))/(2)`.

Two trains `P` and `Q` are moving along parllel tracks same uniform speed of `20` m `s^(-1)`. The driver of train `P` decides to overtake train `Q` and accelerate his frain by `1 ms^(-2)`, After `50 s`, train `P` crosses the engine of train `Q`. Find out what was the distance between the two trains initially. provided the length each is `400 m`.

Answer» Let the initial distance between two trains be `x`.
Distance travelled by train `P` in `50 s`:
`S_(p)=ut+(1)/(2)at^(2)=20xx50+(1)/(2)xx1xx50^(2)=2250 m`
Distance travelled by train `Q` in `50` s:

`S_(Q)=ut =20 xx50=100 m`
Now `S_(P)-S_(Q) =2250-1000=1250 m`. This distance must be equal to the initial distance between the trains plus the sum of the length of the trains.
`x+800 =1250 rArr x=450 m`.

The linear speed of a particle moving in a circle of radius `R` varies with time as `v = v_0 - kt`, where `k` is a positive constant. At what time the magnitudes of angular velocity and angular acceleration will be equal ?

Answer» We have `v = v_0 - kt` (given). Then, the tangential acceleration of the particle is
`a_t = (d v)/(d t) = k`
The angular acceleration of the particle is
`omega = (v)/( R) = (v_0 - kt)/( R)`
If `prop = omega`, we have `(k)/( R) = (v_0 - kt)/( R)`
Then, `t = (v_0 - k)/(k)`.

Answer» Let the passenger catches the bus after time Distance travelled bu the in time (t),
` S_91) =0 + 1/2 at^(2) = 1/2` …(i)
Distance travelled by the passenger, (ii) ` S_(2) =v t + 0 v t`
The passenger will catch the bus if,
` d+ S_(1) = S_(2)`
or ` d + 1/2 at^(2) =v t or 1/2 at^(2) - v t + d =0`
or ` t= =([v+- sqrt(v^(2) -2 a d)}])/a`
The passenger will catch the bus it 9t) is real,

A passenger is standing `d` metres away from a bus. The bus begins to move eith constat acceleration `a. To catch the bus the passenger runs at a constant speed (v) towards the bus, at what minimum speed he must have ,so that he may catch the bus.

Answer» Let the passenger catch the bus after time t.
The distance travelled by the bus, `" "s_(1)=0+1/2 at^(2)` …(i)
and the distance travelled by the passenger `" "s_(2)=ut+0` …(ii)
Now the passenger will catch the bus if `d+s_(1)=s_(2)` ...(iii)
`rArr d+1/2 at^(2)=ut rArr 1/2 at^(2)-ut+d=0rArr t=([u+-sqrt(u^(2)-2ad)])/a`
so the passenger will catch the bus if t is real, i.e., `u^(2) ge 2ad rArr u^(2) ge u^(2)sqrt(2ad)`
So the minimum speed of passenger for catching the bus is `sqrt(2ad)`.

One second after the projection, a stone moves at an angle of ` [email protected]` with the horzontal. Two seconds from the start, it is travelling horizontally. Find the angle of projection with the horizontal. (g=10 ms^(-2))`.

Answer» After one second, let ` v_x. v_y` be the horizontal and vertical coponent velocites of the projectile whose initial velcoity of projection (u) and angle of projection os ` theta` then
` v_x = u cos theta ` and ` v_y =u sin theta -g xx 1 =u sin theta-g`
As the resultant of ` vec _x and vec v_y` makes an angle ` beta (= 45^@) with the horizontal. so
` tan beta =v_y/v_x = ( u sin theta-g)/( u cos theta) =tan 45^@` or ` u sin theta- g = u ` or ` u (sin theta - cos theta ) = g ` ....(i)
After two seconds, the vetical component velocity of projectile becomes zero, since the velocity or projectile is horizontal agter tow seconds . So, ` u sin theta - 2 g = 0 ` or u 2 g/sin theta`
From (i) , (2 g)/( sin theta) (sin theta-cos theta) = g` or ` 2 ( 1- cot theta ) = ` or ` 1-cot theta = 1/2`
or ` cot theta 1- 1/2=1/2 ` or tan theta = 2 ` or ` thata = tan^(-10 (2)`.

Answer» After one second, let ` v_x. v_y` be the horizontal and vertical coponent velocites of the projectile whose initial velcoity of projection (u) and angle of projection os ` theta` then
` v_x = u cos theta ` and ` v_y =u sin theta -g xx 1 =u sin theta-g`
As the resultant of ` vec _x and vec v_y` makes an angle ` beta (= 45^@) with the horizontal. so
` tan beta =v_y/v_x = ( u sin theta-g)/( u cos theta) =tan 45^@` or ` u sin theta- g = u ` or ` u (sin theta - cos theta ) = g ` ....(i)
After two seconds, the vetical component velocity of projectile becomes zero, since the velocity or projectile is horizontal agter tow seconds . So, ` u sin theta - 2 g = 0 ` or u 2 g/sin theta`
From (i) , (2 g)/( sin theta) (sin theta-cos theta) = g` or ` 2 ( 1- cot theta ) = ` or ` 1-cot theta = 1/2`
or ` cot theta 1- 1/2=1/2 ` or tan theta = 2 ` or ` thata = tan^(-10 (2)`.

A rock is launched upward at `45^@`. A bee moves along the trajectory of the rock. What is the magnitude of acceleration `("in" m s^-2)` of the bee at the top point of the trajectory ? For the rock, neglect the air resistance.

Answer» Correct Answer - `20 ms^-2`
Velocity of rock at top point `= u cos theta`
So, acceleration of rock =`((u cos theta)^2)/( r) = g`
`rArr (u^2)/( r) = (g)/(cos^2 theta) = (g)/(cos^2 45^@) = 20 ms^-2`
where `r` is the radius of curvature
Now acceleration of bee at top point :
`a_b = (u^2)/( r) = 20 ms^-2`
Hence, `r` is same for both.

Ball `I` is thrown towards a tower at an angle of `60^@` with the horizontal with unknown speed `(u)`. At the same moment, ball `II` is released from the top of tower as shown in (Fig. 5.189). Balls collide after `2 s` and at the moment of collision, the velocity of ball `I` is horizontal. Find the (a) speed `u` (b) distance of point of projection of ball `I` from base of tower `(x)` ( c) height of tower .

Answer» Correct Answer - (a) `(40)/(sqrt(3)) m s^-1` ;
(b) `(40)/(sqrt(3)) m ; c. 40 m`.
(a) Time of ascent should be `2 s`.
So `(u sin 60^@)/(g) = 2 rArr u = (40)/(sqrt(3)) ms^-1`
(b) `x = (u cos 60^@) t = (40)/(sqrt(3)) xx (1)/(2) xx 2 = (40)/(sqrt(3)) m`
( c) The height of tower can be found using concept of relative velocity. If the balls have to collide, the initial velocity of ball `I` should be towards ball `II`.
For this `(h)/(x) = tan 60^@ rArr h = x tan 60^@ = (40)/(sqrt(3)) sqrt(3) = 40 m`
OR : height ascended by ball `I "in" 2 s` :
`h_1 = u sin 60^@ xx 2 - (1)/(2) 10 (2)^2 = 20 m`
height decended by ball `II in 2 s` ,
`h_2 = (1)/(2) "gt"^2 = (1)/(2) 10 (2)^2 = 20 m`
Now `h = h_1 + h_2 = 20 + 20 = 40 m`.

Referrring to the `v^(2)-s` diagram of a particle, find the displacement of the particle durticle during the last two seconds. .

Answer» Slope of `v^(2)-s` graph`
`m=-((2000-1500))/(100-50)=-10`
Relation between `v_(2)` and s: `v^(2)=-10 s+C`
At `s=50, v^(2)=2000`
`rArr 2000=-10xx50+C rArr C=2500`
`v=-10 s+2500`
`rArr (2v dt)/(dt)=-10(ds)/(dt)`
`rArr 2va=-10 v rArr a=-5 ms^(-2) rarr` constant
To find initial velocity:
Put `s=0, v=u`
`rArr u^(2)=2500 rArr u=50 ms^(-1)`
Apply `v=u+at`
`rArr 0=50-5 T`
`rArrT=10 s rarr` time of motion
`Displacement during last two seconds :
`S=S_(t)=10s-S_(t)=8s`
`=[50 xx 10 -(1)/(2)5 (10)^(5)]-[50-(1)/(2)5(8)^(2)]=10m`.

A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate `alpha` for some time, after which it decelerates at a constant rate `beta,` to come to rest. If the total time elapsed is t seconds. Then evalute (a) the maximum velocity reached and (b) the total distance travelled.A. `(alpha beta t^(2))/(4(alpha +beta))`B. ` (alpha beta t^(2))/(2(alpha +beta))`C. `(alpha beta t^(2))/(alpha +beta)`D. `(4alpha beta t^(2))/(alpha +beta)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
From `A` to `B` applying `sut +(1)/(2) at^(2)`, we get
`S_(1) =0 xx t_(1) +(1)/(2) alph t_(1)^(2) =(1)/(2) (alpha t_(1)) t_(1) =(1)/(2) v_(0)t_(1)` (1)
Sinmilarly from `B` to `C`:
`S_(2) =v_(0) t_(2) +(1)/(2) (-beta) t_(2)^(2) =v_(0)t_(2) -(1)/(2) (betat_(2)) t_(2) =(1)/(2) v_(0) t_(2) (2)
Now total distance travelled is
`S_(1) +S_(2) =(1)/(2) v_(0)t_(1) +(1)/(2) v_(0)t_(2) =(1)/(2) v_(0) (t_(1) _t_(2))`
`=(1)/(2) (alph beta t)/(2 alpha+beta) t =(alpha beta t^(2))/(2 (alpha+beta) t =(alpha beta t^(2))/(2(alpha +beta)`
Also, we can find (i) and (ii) by using the formula, `s=(u+v)/(2) t`.

A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate `alpha` for some time, after which it decelerates at a constant rate `beta,` to come to rest. If the total time elapsed is t seconds. Then evalute (a) the maximum velocity reached and (b) the total distance travelled.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
(a) Let the car accelerates for time `t_1` and decelerates for time `t_2.` Then
`t=t_1+t_2….(i)`
and corresponding velocity-time graph will be as shown in fig.
`(DCP_V01_CH6_S01_024_S01.png" width="80%">
From the graph, `alpha`=slope of line `OA=v_(max)/t_1` or `t_1=v_(max)/alpha....(ii)`
and `beta` = -slope of line `AB=v_(max)/t_2`
or `t_2=v_(max)/beta...(iii)`
From Eqs. (i),(ii) and (iii), we get
`v_(max)/alpha+v_(max)/beta=t`
or `v_(max)((alpha+beta)/(alpha beta))=t`
or `v_(max)=(alpha beta t)/(alpha+beta)`
(b) Total distance =Total displacement=area under v-t graph
`=1/2xxtxxv_(max)`
`=1/2xxtxx(alpha beta t)/(alpha+beta)`
or Distance = ` 1/2((alpha beta t)/(alpha+beta))`

On a `80 km` track, a train travels `40 km` with a uniform speed of `30 km h^(-1)`. How fast must the train travel the next `40 km h^(-1)` as to have average speed `40 km h^(-1)` for the entire trip?

Answer» Here, `s_(1) =40 km, v_(1) =30 km h^(-1)
s_(2) =40 km, v_(av) =40 km h^(-1), v_(2)=?`
`v_(av)=(S_(1)+S_(2))/(S_(1)/v_(1) +S_(2)/v_(2)) =((40+40)/((40)/(30) +(40)/v_(2)) =(2xx 30 v_(2))/(30 +v_(2))`
or `40 =(60 v_(2) )/(30 + v_(2)) or v_(2) =60 km h^(-1)`.
