A rifle shoots a bullet with a muzzle velocity of `400 m s^-1` at a small target `400 m` away. The height above the target at which the bullet must be aimed to hit the target is `(g = 10 m s^-2)`.A. 1 mB. 5 mC. 10 mD. 0.5 m

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(b) Time taken by bullet to reach the target is
(Distance)/(Velocity) = (Distance)/(u cos theta) [As theta is very small, `cos theta = 1`]
Time = `(Distance)/(u) = (400)/(400) = 1 s`
Vertical deflection of bullet is
=`(1)/(2) "gt"^2 = (1)/(2) xx 10 xx (1)^2 = 5 m`.
311.

A bulley with muzzle velocity `100 m s^-1` is to be shot at a target `30 m` away in the same horizontal line. How high above the target must the rifle be aimed so that the bullet will hit the target ? .

Answer» Horizontal range of bullet is `30 m`.
Using range formula, `R = (u^2 sin 2 theta)/(g) = 30`
or `sin 2 theta = (30 xx 10)/((100)^2) or sin 2 theta = 0.03`
For small `theta, sin theta ~~ theta ~= tan theta, i.e., 2 theta = 0.03`
Therefore, `theta = 0.015 rad`
In `Delta OAP, tan theta = (AP)/(OP) rArr AP = OP tan theta`
The rifle must be aimed at an angle `theta = 0.015` above horizontal.
Height to be aimed `= 30 tan theta ~~ 30(theta) = 30 xx 0.015 = 45 cm`.

A man can throw a stone with initial speed of `10m//s`. Find the maximum horizontal distance to which he can throw the stone in a room of height h m for: (i) `h = 2m` and (ii) `h = 4m`.

Answer» Correct Answer - (i) `4sqrt(6)` (ii) `10m`
for maximum horizontal rnage `theta = 45^(@)` for `theta = 45^(@)` max.
height achieved `= (u^(2)sin^(2) theta)/(2g) = (10^(2)sin6(2)45^(@))/(2xx10) = 2.5m`
(i) Since height of room `= 2m` which is less than height found above
`h = (u^(2)sin^(2)theta)/(2g) rArr 2 = (10^(2)sin^(2) theta)/(2xx10)`
`rArr sin theta = sqrt((2)/(3)) & cos theta = sqrt((3)/(5))`
`R = (u^(2)sin 2 theta)/(g) rArr R = (u^(2)2sin theta cos theta)/(g) = 4sqrt(6)m`
(ii) `theta = 45^(@)` so `R = (u^(2)sin 2 theta)/(g)`
`rArr R = (10^(2) xx sin 90^(@))/(g) rArr R = 10m`

The velocity of a particle moving in the positive direction of the x axis varies as `v=alphasqrtx`, where `alpha` is a positive constant. Assuming that at the moment `t=0` the particle was located at the point `x=0`, find: (a) the time dependence of the velocity and the acceleration of the particle, (b) the mean velocity of the particle averaged over the time that the particle takes to cover the first s metres of the path.

Answer» (i) Given that `v - alpha sqrt(x)` or `(dx)/(dt) = alpha sqrt(x)`
`:. (dx)/(sqrt(x)) = alpha dt` or `int_(0)^(x) (dx)/(sqrt(x)) = int_(0)^(t) alpha dt`
Hence `2sqrt(x) = alpha t`or `x = (alpha^(2)t^(2)//4)`
Velocity `(dx)/(dt) = (1)/(2)alpha^(2)t` and
Acceleration `(d^(2)x)/(dt^(2)) = (1)/(2)alpha^(2)`
(ii) Time taken to cover first `s` meters
`s = (alpha^(2)t^(2))/(4) rArr t^(2) = (4s)/(alpha^(2)) rArr t = (2sqrt(s))/(alpha)`
`barv = ("total distance")/("total time") = (sa)/(2sqrt(s)) rArr barv = (1)/(2) sqrt(s) alpha`

A person, intending to cross a river by the shortest path, starts at an angle `prop` with the downstream. If the speed of the person be less than that of water current, show that `prop` must be obtuse.

Answer» Let `v and u` be the velocities of the person and the water current, and `d` the width of the river. If `t` be the time taken by the person to cross the river, then `t = (d)/(v sin prop)` and distance carried downstream in this time
=`(d)/(v sin prop) [u + v cos theta] = x (say)`
Now, eliminating `prop`, we get
`t^2 (u^2 - v^2) - 2 xut + (x^2 + d^2) = 0`
Clearly `t` will have real solutions, if `"discriminant ge 0"`
`rArr 4 x^2 u^2 ge 4 (u^2 - v^2)(x^2 + d^2)`
`rArr x ge (d)/(v) (sqrt(u^2 - v^2))`
Distance swayed away by the water current (x) has to be minimum, for the shortest path.
Again `t = (d)/(v sin prop) and x = (d)/(v) sqrt(u^2 - v^2)=(d)/(v sin prop) (u + v cos prop)`
`rArr (u^2 - v^2) sin^2 prop = (u + v cos prop)^2`
`rArr u^2 (1 - sin^2 prop) + 2 u v cos prop + v^2 = 0`
`rArr u^2 cos^2 prop + 2 uv cos prop + v^2 = 0`
`rArr (u cos prop + v)^2 = 0 rArr cos prop = -(v)/(u)`.

Put the value of `u_(0)` in (ii), we get
`-h=-((1)/(2))g (t_(1)-t_(2))t_(2)-((1)/(2))g t_(2)^(2)`
`rArr h=(1)/(2) g t_(1)t_(2)`
For third case, `u=0, t=`?
`-h=0 xxt-((1)/(2))g t^(2)`
or `h=((1)/(2))g t^(2)`
Combining (iv) and (v), we get
`(1)/(2) g t^(2)=(1)/(2) g t_(1)t_(2)` or `t=sqrtt_(1)t_(2)`.

Using `v^(2)=u^(2)+2as rArr v^(2)=0+2g ((h)/(l)).((1)/(2))`
`rArr v=sqrtgh`
Again using `v=u+at rArr v=0+g ((h)/(l)).t`
`sqrtgh=g ((h)/(l))t rArr t=(l)/(sqrtgh)`
For nall 2: `u=u_(2), v=v_(2)` and `a=-g sin theta=-((h)/(l))`
Using `v^(2)=u^(2)2as rArr v_(2)^(2)=u_(2)^(2)+2(-g(h)/(l)).((l)/(2))` ...(iii)
Asing using `v=u+at rArr v_(2)=u_(2)-(g(h)/(l)).(l)/(sqrtgh)` ...(iv)
Form (iii) and (iv) `u_(2)=sqrtgh and v_(2)=0`
Hence velocity of ball `2` at the of throwing will be and when it meets ball `1` its velocity becomes zero.

Difference between Uniform acceleration and Non-uniform acceleration.

Answer»

Uniform acceleration : A body is said to have uniform acceleration if magnitude and direction of the acceleration remains constant during particle motion. 

• If a particle is moving with uniform acceleration, this does not necessarily imply that particles is moving in straight line, e.g., Projectile motion.

Non-uniform acceleration : A body is said to have non-uniform acceleration, if magnitude or direction or both, change during motion.

Define linear kinematics, distance and displacement, speed and velocity, acceleration.

Answer»

Kinematics ⇒ A subset of kinematics that is particular to motion in a straight line is called linear kinematics.

Distance ⇒ Distance refer to a physical length. When body moves from one location to another, the length of the path that the body follow is the distance, e.g. when a runner completes 2 laps around a 400 m track, the distance that the runner has covered is equal to (400 + 400) 800 m.

Displacement ⇒ It is change in position displacement is the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position of a point. It is measured in a straight line e.g. in the completion of a lap around the 400 m track, the displacement is zero because the starting and finishing positions are the same.

Speed ⇒ Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. It is defined as the distance covered, divided by the time taken to cover it.

\(\bar s=\frac{1}{\triangle t}\)

l = length of path

t = time

Δ = delta (or) change in time

\(\bar s\) = average speed

Velocity ⇒ Velocity is the change in position or the displacement that occurs during a given period of time.

\(v=\frac{d}{\triangle t}\)

v = velocity

d = displacement

t = time

Δ = delta (or) change in time

Acceleration ⇒ The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration.

May be positive may be negative.

a = v/t or a d/t2 = m/sec2 unit

Positive acceleration : the final velocity (v2) will be greater than initial velocity (v1) [deacceleration]

Unit are meters/second2

What are the Kinematics Variables?

Answer»

These are the various relations between u, v, a, t and s for the moving particle where the notations are used as : 

u = Initial velocity of the particle at time t = 0 sec 

v = Final velocity at time t sec 

a = Acceleration of the particle 

s = Distance travelled in time t sec 

sn = Distance travelled by the body in nth sec

A ball falls vertically onto a floor, with momentum p, and then bounces repeatedly. The coefficient of restitution is e. The total momentum imparted by the ball to the floor is(a) p(1 + e)(b) p/1-e(c) p (1 + 1/e)(d) p (1 + e / 1- e)

Answer»

Correct answer is: (d) p (1 + e / 1 - e)

When a particle undergoes normal collision with a floor or a wall, with coefficient of restitution e, the speed after collision is e times the speed before collision. Thus, in this case, the change in momentum for the first impact is ep - (-p) = p(1 + e), for the second impact it is e(ep) - (-ep) = ep(1 + e) and so on. The total change in momentum is p(1 + e)[1 + e + e2 + ...].
