Answer» Here `vec A =( 2 hat I + 3 hat j -4 hat k)` and `vec B =(hat I -2 hat j + 2 hat k)` ` (vec A xx vec B) =|(hat I, hat j, hat k), (2, 3, -4),(1, -2, 2)|` `=hat I (6-8 ) + hat j (-4 -4 ) + hat k (-4 -3)` `=- 2 hat I -8 hat j-7 hat k` `| vec A xx vec B| = sqrt ((-2)^(2) + (-8)^(2) + (-7) ^(2)) = sqrt (29),` `| vec B | = sqrt (1^(2) + (-2)^(2) + 2^(2)) =sqrt 9` `sin theta = (|vec A xx vec B|)/(|vec A | | vec B|) =(sqrt117)/(sqrt 29 sqrt9) =(sqrt 23)/(29)` ` or `theta = sin^(-1) sqrt (13)/(29)`. |

Assertion : We know the relation `a = v. (dv)/ds` . Therefore, if velocity of a particle is zero, then acceleration is also zero. Reason : In the above equation, a is the instantaneous acceleration.A. If the both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.B. If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.C. If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.D. If Assertion is false but the Reason is true. |
Answer» Correct Answer - D It is not necessary that if `v=0` then acceleration is also zero. If a particle is thrown upwards, then at highest point `v=0`but `!=0` |

A particle moves in XY plane such that its position, velocity and acceleration are given by `vec(r)=xhat(i)+yhat(j), " "vec(v)=v_(x)hat(i)+v_(y)hat(j), " "vec(a)=a_(x)hat(i)+a_(y)hat(j)` Which of the following condition is correct if the particle is speeding down?A. `xv_(x)+yv_(y) lt 0`B. `xv_(x)+yv_(y) gt 0`C. `a_(x)v_(x)+a_(y)v_(y) lt 0`D. `a_(x)v_(x)+a_(y)v_(y) gt 0` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C For speeding down `vec(a).vec(v) lt 0 rArr a_(x)v_(x)+a_(y)v_(y) lt 0` |

The trajectory of a projectile is given by `y=x tantheta-(1)/(2)(gx^(2))/(u^(2)cos^(2)theta)`. This equation can be used for calculating various phenomen such as finding the minimum velocity required to make a stone reach a certain point maximum range for a given projection velocity and the angle of projection required for maximum range. The range of a particle thrown from a tower is define as the distance the root of the tower and the point of landing. A tower is at a distance of `5m` from a man who can throw a stone with a maximum speed of `10m//s`. What is the maximum height that the man can hit on this tower.A. `4.5m`B. `4m`C. `5m`D. `3.75m` |
Answer» `tantheta=(u^(2))/(Rg)` `H=R tantheta-(1)/(2)g.(R^(2))/(u^(2))(1+tan^(2)theta)` `=(u^(2))/(g)-(1)/(2)g. (R^(2))/(u^(2))-(1)/(2)(u^(2))/(g)=10-1.25-5=3.75m` |
