Answer» Correct Answer - D
` x_A=A_b` :. Pt+qt^2 =rt^2 -st^3`
One solution is ` t= 0`, which means both the cars start from the same point. To find the other solution , divede it by ` 9t), we have ` p + qt =rt -st^2` or ` st^2 + (q-2) t + p=0`
or ` t= 1/(2 s) [ q- r) =- sqrt((q -r)^2 -4sp)]`
` =1/(2 xx 0.20) [1 . 20 - 2 . 89 )`
` +- sqrt ((1.20 - 2 .80)^2 - 4 xx 0.24 xx 2.60)]`
`= 4. 00 +- 73 = 2.27 s ` and ` 5. 73 s`.
Hence ` x_A= x_B` for ` t= 0, t= 2.27 s` and ` t= 5. 73 s`.

Answer» Here, `vec F = (3 hat I + 4 hat j - 5 khat k) ,`
`verc d = (5 hat I + 4 hat j + 3 hat k) `
` vec F . Vec D =(3 hat I + 4 hat j -5 hat k) . (5 hat I + 4 hat j + 3 hat k)`
`= 3 (5) + 4 (4) -5 93) = 16 units
`F= sqrt ( F_(_(x)^(2) + F_(y)^(2) + F_(z)^(2)) `
` = sqrt (3^(2) + 4^(2) + (-5)^(2) ) =sqrt 50`
`d= sqrt (d_(x)^(2) + d_(y) ^(2) + d_(z)^(2) ) = sqrt (5^(2) + 4^(2) + 3^(3) ) =sqrt 50)`

A particle is parojected vertically upwards from grund with initial velocity `u`. a. Find the maximum height `H` the particle will attain and time `T` that it will attain and time `T` that it will take to return to the ground . . b. What is the velocity when the particle returns to the ground? c. What is the displacement and distance travelled by the particle during this time of whole motion.

Answer» Cosnider the motion from `A` to `B`:
`s=+H` (final point lies above the initial point), initial velocity `=u`, final velocity `v=0`.
Let the time taken to go from `A` to `B` be `t_(1)`.
Using `v=u-g t`, we get
`0=u-g t_(1) rArrt_(1)=(u)/(g)`
Using `s=ut-(1)/(2)g t^(2)`,
`rArr h=u ((u)/(g))-(1)/(2)g((u)/(g))^(2)=(u^(2))/(2g)`
So the maximum height attained is `H=(u^(2))/(2g)`.
Cosnsider the return motion from `B` to `A`:
`s=H` (final point lies below the initial point) `u=0` (at point `B`, velocty is zero)
Let time taken to go from `B` to `A`be `t_(2)`. We have
`t_(2)=sqrt((2H)/(g))=sqrt((2)/(g)(u^(2))/(2g))(u)/(g)`
Hence `t_(1)` is known as the time of ascent and `t_(2)` is known as the time of descent. We can see that time of ascent=Time of descent`=(u)/(g)`
Total time flight `T=t_(1)+t_(2)=(2u)/(g)`
Hence, time of flight is the time for which the particle remains in air.
Alternative method to find the time of flight:
a. Consider the motion from `A` to `B`:
`s=0` (initial and final points are same )
Initial velocity `=u`, time taken`=T`
Using `s=ut-(1)/(2)g t^(2)`, we have `0=uT-(1)/(2)g t^(2)`
`rArr T =(2u)/(g)`
b. Magnitude of velocity on returning the fround will be same as that of inital velocity but directionwill be opposite.
Proof:Let `v` be the velocity on reaching the ground. Then from previous formulae, we get
` v=- sqrt(2gH)=-sqrt(2g(u^(2))/(2g))rArrv=-u`, hence proved,
c. Displacement`=0`, distance travelled `=2H=u^(2)/(g)`.

A particle moves along the curve `(x^(2))/(9) +(y^(2))/(4) =1`, with constant speed `v`. Express its "velocity vectorially" as a function of `x,y`.

Answer» Given `(x^(2))/(9)+(v^(2))/(4)=1`
`rArr (2x)/(9) [(dx)/(dt)]+(2y)/(4)[(dy)/(dt)]=1 [(dx)/(dt)=v_(x),(dy)/(dt)=v_(y)]`
`rArr v_(x) =-(9)/(4)(y)/(x)v_(y)`
Also `v_(x)^(2)+v_(y)^(2) =v^(2) rArr (-(9)/(4)(y)/(x)v_(y))^(2) +v_(y)^(2)=v^(2)`
`rArr v_(y)^(2) =(16x^(2)v^(2))/(16x^(2)+81y^(2)) rArr v_(y)= (+-4xv)/(sqrt(16x^(2)+81y^(2))`
From (i) and (ii), we get ,`v_(x)=(+-yv)/(sqrt(16x^(2)+81y^(2))`
So, velocity is given by `v_(x) jat i+ v_(y) hat j = ((+- 9 y hat i+- 4 x hat j)v)/(sqrt(16x^(2)+81y^(2)))`.

What are the angles made by vector ` vec A =hat I + sqer 3 hat j` with x-axis and y-axis ?

Answer» Comparing the given vector ` vec A= hat i + sqrt 3 hat j` with
vector, ` vec A= A_(x) hat I + A_(x) hat j`,
we have ` A_x =1 and A_x =sqrt`
:. A = sqrt( A_x ^2 + A_y^2) = sqrt( 1^2 + (sqrt3)^2 )=2`
Let ` alpha, beta` are the angles which `vec A` make with x-axis and y-axis respectively. Then
` cos alpha = A_x/X = 1/2 = cos 60^@ or alpha =60^@`
` cos beta = A_y /A = (sqrt3)/2 = cos 30^@ or beta = 30^@`.

The windshield of a truck is inclined at `37^(@)` to the horizontal. The truck is moving horizontally with a constant acceleration of `a = 5 m//s^(2)`. At the instant the velocity of the truck is `v_(0) = 0.77 m//s`, an insect jumps from point A on the windshield, with a velocity `u = 2.64 m//s` (relative to ground) in vertically upward direction. It falls back at point B on the windshield. Calculate distance AB. Assume that the insect moves freely under gravity and `g = 10 m//s^(2)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - `AB = 0.57 m`
