A particle is thrown with velocity `u` at an angle `prop` from the horizontal. Another particle is thrown with the same velocity at an angle `prop` from the verticle. What will be the ratio of times of flight of two particles ? |
Answer» For first particles angle of projection from the hortizontal is `prop`. So `T_1 = (2usinprop)/(g)` For second particle, angle of projection from the vertical is `prop`. it mean from the horizontal is `(theta - prop)` `therefore T_(2) = (2 u sin(90 - prop))/(g) = (2 u cos prop)/(g)` So, ratio of time of flight `(T_1)/(T_2) = tan prop`. |

Read each staremnt below carefully and state with reasons and expamples if it is true or false , (a) with zero speed at an instant may have non-zero accelration at that instant (b) with zero speed may have non-zero velocity (c ) with positive speed must have zero accleration (d) with positive value of acceleration must be speeding up. |
Answer» (a) Ture, when a body is thrown vertically upwards inn the space, then at the highest point, the body has zero speed but has downward acceleration equal to the accelration due to gravity. (b) false, becomuse velocity is the speed of body in a given direction. When speed is zero, the magnitude of velocity of body is zero, hence velocity is zero. (c ) True, when a particle is moving along a straight line with a constant speed, its velocity remains constant with time . Therefore, acceleration (= change in velocity //time ) is zero. ltbRgt (d) The statement depends upon the chice of the instant of time taken as origin as origin, when the bdy is moving along a straight line with positive accelration. The velocity of the body at an instant of time (t) is ` v=u +at` The given statement is not correct if (a) is positive and (u) is negative, at the instant of time taken as origin. Then for all the times before the time for which (v) venishes, there is slowing down of the particle i.e. the speed of the particle keeps on decteasing with time. It happens when body is projected vertically upwards. However the given statement is true if u) is positive and (a) is positive, at the instant of time taken as origin. It is so when the body is falling verticall downwards. |

Answer» Correct Answer - C No. of taxies leaving a station (A) in (2) hours ` = 2 xx 60 /10 = 12 `. Therefore a taxi standing at a location (B), will encounier ` 12 1 taxies in `2` hours. If taxi leaves station (B) and moves towards (A) will be meeting (11) more taxies enroute and it will be meeting the twelfth taxi at the location of (a) which is just going to start. Therefore this taxi is not counited in the total no. of taxies enroute . Thus the total no. of taxies encountered enroute ,brgt `12 + 11 23`. |

Following are four different relations about displacement, velocity and acceleration for the motion of a particle in general. Choose the incorrect one (s)A. (a) ` vec v _(av)= 1/2 [ vec v (t_1) + vec v (t_2)]`B. (b) ` vec v = ( vec r(t_2)- vecr (t_1))/(t_2-t_1)`C. (c ) ` vec r = 1/2 ( vec v(t_2) - vec v (t_1)) (t_2-t_1)`D. (d) ` a_(av) = (vec v(t_2)- vec v(t_1))/(t_2-t_1)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A::C For the motion of a particle if acceleration is not uniform then the relations ` vec v_(av) = 1/2 [ vec v(t-1) + vec v(t_2)] `si incorrect. ` vec v_(av) = (vec r(t_2) - vec r9t-1))/( (t_2-t_1)) ` is correct`. ` vec r = 1/2 [ vec v9t_2) - vec v( t-1) ] (t-2 -t_1) ` is incorrect, and ` vec a(av) = (vec v9t_1) - vec v(t_1))/(t_1 -t_1) ` is correct. |

Two shells are fired from a canon with seped (u) each, at angles if ` alpha` and ` beta` respectively with the horizontal . The time intrval between the shots is (t). They collide in mid air after time (T) from the first shot . Which of the following consitions must be satisfied ?A. ` alpha gt beta`B. ` T cos alpha = (T- t) cos beta`C. ` T- t) cos alpha = T cos beta`D. ` usin alpha T - 1/2 g T^2 = u sin bwta (T- t) - 1/2 g (T- t)^2` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::D Since the first shot must have travelled for more time than the second shot before collinding in mid air. It will be so if the angle of projection of first short ` alpha` is greater than the angle of projection of second shot ` beta i.e. alpha gt beta `. At the colliding position of two shots , the borizontal distance (x) covereed by each shot is same so ` x= u cos alpha T = u cos beta (T - t)` or ` T cos alpha = (T-t) cos beta` At the colliding position of two shots, the vertical distance (y) covered by first shot is ` y= u sin alpha t - 1/2 g T^2` The verrtical distance `y` covered by secnd shot is ` y = u sin beta (T- t) - 1/2 g (T -t)^2` :. `u sin alpha T - 1/2 g T^2 = u sin beta (T-t) - 1/2 g (T-t)^2` . |

Explain the term Velocity-time graph. |
Answer» It is a graph of time versus velocity. Its slope t any point gives the acceleration at the corresponding instant. Distance covered in time t equals area under the velocity –time graph bounded by the time-axis. (i) For uniform motion, the velocity-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time-axis. (ii) For uniform acceleration, the velocity-time graph is a straight line inclined to the time-axis. (iii) For variable acceleration, the velocity time graph is a curve. |

A stone is thrown by a student from the bottom of a hill with a velocity `30 ms^(-1)` making an angle of `60^(@)` with the horizontal. If the slpe of the hill is `30 ^(@)` with the horizontal. Find the distance from the student to a point at which the stone fals on hill, use `g= 10 ms^(-2)`. |
Answer» Refr to Art. 2 (d) .9, the distance coverd on slope is `R= (2 u^(2) cos theta sin (theta-theta_(0)))/(g cos^(2) theta_(0))` Here, `u =30 ms^(-1)` `theta =60^(@), theta =30^(@), g=10 ms^(-2)` :. `R =(2 xx 30^(2) cos 60^(@) sin 9 60^(@) -30^(@)))/(10 xx cos ^(2) 30(#))` `=(2 xx 900 xx (1//2) xx (1//2))/(10 xx (sqrt3//2)^(2)` `=69 m`. |
