33 The position vector of a particle moving in x-y plane is given by r (t 4) i (t 4) j. Find (a) Equation of trajectory of the particle Albo in a (b) Time when it crosses x-axis and y-axis

Answer» To find the trajectory,`vecr =xhati+ yhatj=(t^2-4)hati+ (t-4)hatj`
So, `x=t^2 -4` and `y=t-4`
On solving,`x=(y+4)^2-4`
`y^2-8y-x+12=0`
Time when it crosses x-axis,`t-4=0``t=4sec`
Time when it crosses y-axis,`t^2-4=0``t=2sec`

A particle is moving with uniform acceleration. Its displacement at any instant t is given by `s=10t+49t^2` .find (i) initial velocity (ii) velocity at `t=3 `second and(iii) the uniform acceleration.

Answer» acceleration is constant
`S=10t+49t^2`
`V=ds/dt=d/dt(10t+49t^2)`
`V=10+98t`
1)Initial velocity
`V=10+98t`
`V=10`m/s
2)Velocity at t=3sec
`V=10+98t`
`V=10+98(3)`
`V=304`m/s
3)Constant acceleration
`a=(dV)/dt`
`a=d/dt(10+98t)`
`a=98m/s^2`.

Answer» Correct Answer - d
Given, `f(x) = {{:(sin[x]/[x]",",[x]ne0), (0,[x]=0):},`
`therefore` LHL = `lim_(xto0^(-))(sin[x])/([x])=lim(xto0)(sin[0-h])/([0-h])`
`=lim_(hto0)(-sin[-h])/([-h]) =-1`
RHL `=lim_(xto0)f(x) = lim_(xto0^(+))(sin[x])/([x])`
`=lim_(xto0^(+)) (sin[0+h])/([0+h])=lim_(hto0)(sin[h])/([h])=1`
`therefore LHL ne RHL`
So, limit does not exist.

Let f be a differentiable function on the open interval(a, b). Which of the following statements must be true? (i) f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b],(ii) f is bounded on the open interval (a,b)

Answer» (i)As `f` is a differentiable function in open interval `(a,b)`, it will be continuous in closed interval `[a,b]`.
So, statement `(i)` is true.

(ii)Statement `(ii)` is not true as we know differentiable function can be non-bounded.
Example of this will be `tan theta` between `pi/2 and -pi/2`, is differentiable but is non-bounded.

(iii)We are given, `f(a_1) lt 0 ltf(b_1)` and `a_1 lt c lt b_1`,
So, there will be definitely a value of `c` where `f(c) = 0`
So, this statement will also be true.

Answer» `dy/dx = 1/(dx/dy)`
`(d^2 y)/dx^2 = d/dx (1/(dx/dy))dy/dx`
`= d/dy(1/(dx/dy))dy/dx`
`(d^2y)/(dx^2)= -1/(dx/dy)^2 (d^2x)/dy^2dy/dx`
`(d^2 x)/(dy^2) = -(d^2y)/(dx^2) (dx/dy)^2(dx/dy)`
