Displacement-time equation of a particle moving along x-axis is `x=20+t^3-12t` (SI units) (a) Find, position and velocity of particle at time t=0. (b) State whether the motion is uniformly accelerated or not. (c) Find position of particle when velocity of particle is zero.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) `x=20+t^3-12t` …(i)
At t=0, `x=20+0-0=20m`
Velocity of particle at time t can be obtained by differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. time i.e.
`v=dx/dt=3t^2-12` …(ii)
At t=0, `v=0-12 =-12m//s`
(b) Differentiating Eq. (ii) w.r.t. time t, we get the acceleration `a=(dv)/(dt) =6t`
As acceleration is a function of time, the motion is non-uniformly accelerated.
(c) Substituting v=0 in Eq. (ii), we have `0=3t^2-12`
Positive value of t comes out to be 2s from this equation. Substituting `t=2s` in
Eq. (i), we have `x=20+(2)^3-12(2)` or `x=4m`

Usually average speed means the rationof total distace travelled to the total time elapsed. However, sometimes thephrase ` average speed can vean the magnitude of the average velocity. Are the two same ? Discuss.

Answer» It is not correct to say that the average speed of the body is ewual to the magnitude of the average velocity because they have got dufferbt meanings. As average sped, v_(av)= total distance travelled//time taken and magnitude of average velocity `= | vec v_(av) | =| displacement//time |`. As, the distance travelled by a moving body is always positive and can never be zero or negative , whereas the displacement of body can be wero, negative or positiove. So, distance `ge` displacenent. gtbrgt Hence, ` v_(av) ge | vec v_(av) |` .

A ball is projected with velocity (u) at an anle ` alpha` with horizontal plane. What is its speed when it makes an angle ` theta` whith the horizontal plane ?

Answer» Let (v) be the velocityoa ball at an instant, when it makes and angle ` beta` with the horizontal. The horizontal component velocity of the ball
` = v cos beta`
Initial horizontal component velocity of ball
` = v cos beta`
In angular grojection of a projectile, the horizontal component velocity remains unchanged, hence `v cos beta =u cos alpha`
or `v=u cos alpha //cos beta`.

Discuss about the Principles of Physical Independence of Motions.

Answer»

(1) The motion of a projectile is a two-dimensional motion. So, it can be discussed in two parts. Horizontal motion and vertical motion. These two motions take place independent of each other.This is called the principle of physical independence of motions. 

(2) The velocity of the particle can be resolved into two mutually perpendicular components. Horizontal component and vertical component. 

(3) The horizontal component remains unchanged throughout the flight. The force of gravity continuously affects the vertical component. 

(4) The horizontal motion is a uniform motion and the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated retarded motion.

What is the period `T` of the bus service and with what speed (assumed constant )do the buses ply on the road?

Answer» Let ` km h^(-1)` be the constant speed with which the buses pky between the torwns ` A and B` The relative velocity of the bus ( for the motion ` A to B` 0 with respect to the cylist ( i.e. in the dierction in which the cyclist is going = 9v - 20 0 km h^(-1)`. The relative velocity of the bus from ` B to A` with cyclist ` = ( v+ 20 0 km h^(-1)`
The distanc etravelled by the bus in time ` T ( minutes) = vT`
As per question ` ( vT)/(v- 20) = 18` or ` v T = 18 v- 18 xx 20 ` ...(i)
and ` ( vt) /( v+ 20) = 6 or ` v T = 6 v + 20 xx 6` (ii)
Equating (i) & (ii) we get
` 18 v- 18 xx 20 = 6 v+ 20 xx 6` or ` 12v = 20 6 + 18 xx 20 = 480 or v= 40 km h^(-1_`
Puttig this value of (v) in(i) we get
` 40 T= 18 xx 40 - 18 xx 20 = 18 xx 20 or ` T = 18 xx 20// 40 = 9 min`

or ` 2 a (a- 2) + 2 9a -2) =0` ltbRgt pr ` (2 a + 2) ( a-2) =0`
If ` a- 2 =0` then ` a= 2`
If ` 2 a = 2 =0` theta ` a=- 1`.

For what vlue of a, ` vec A = 2 hat i+ a hat j + hat k`, is perpendicular to ` vec B= 4 hat i-2 hat k`.

Answer» When vectors are perpendicular, their dot product is zero , i.e. ` vec A. vec B=0`
or ` ( 2hat i+ a hat j= hat k). ( 4 aht i-2 hat j-2 aht k) =0`
or ` 8 - 2 a - 2 =0 ` or ` a=3`.

Two cities `A and B` are connected by a regular bus service with buses plying in either direction every `T` seconds. The speed of each bus is uniform and equal to `V_b`. A cyclist cycles from `A to B` with a uniform speed of `V_c`. A bus goes past the cyclist in `T_1` second in the direction `A to B` and every `T_2` second in the direction `B to A`. ThenA. `T_1 = (V_b T)/(V_b + V_c)`B. `T_2 = (V_b T)/(V_b - V_c)`C. `T_1 = (V_b T)/(V_b - V_c)`D. `T_2 = (V_b T)/(V_b + V_c)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C::D
(c.,d.) Distance between two buses on road is `V_bT`.
For `A to B` direction :
Distance = Relative velocity xx Time
`V_b T=(V_b - V_c)T_1 rArr T_1 = (V_b T)/(V_b - V_c)`
For `B to A` direction :
`V_b T =(V_b + V_c)T_2 rArr T_2 = (V_b T)/(V_b + V_c)`.
