1.

A grasshopper can jump a maximum distance `1.6 m`. It spends negligible time on the ground. How far can it go in `10 s` ?

Answer» Correct Answer - 6
Maximum range `(theta = 45^@) = u^2/g = 0.8 u = 2sqrt2 m`
Distance covered in `3 s = (u cos 45^@) (3)`
`= (2sqrt(2))(1/(sqrt2))(3) = 6m`.
2.

If T is the total time of flight, h is the maximum height and R is the range for horizontal motion, the x and y coordinates of projectile motion and time t are related asA. `y = 4h (t/T)(1-t/T)`B. `y = 4h (x/R)(1-x/R)`C. `y = 4h (T/t)(1-T/t)`D. `y = 4h (R/x)(1-R/x)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
a,b. `T = (2usintheta)/g , h = (u^2sin^2theta)/(2g), R = (u^2sin2theta)/g`
`y = usinthetat - 1/2 "gt"^2`
`=4ht[(usintheta)/(4h) - ("gt")/(8h)]`
`= 4ht[ (usintheta)/(4(u^2sin^2theta//2g)) - ("gt")/(8(u^2sin^2theta//2g))]`
`= 4ht[1/(2usintheta//g) - t/((2usintheta//g)^2)]`
`4ht[1/T - t/T^2] = 4h (1/T)(1-t/T)`
Now `x = ucos theta t, R = u cos theta T`
`rArr t/T = x/R, so y = 4h(x/R)(1-x/R)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
c. The velocity of motor boat is given as
`vecv_m = vecv_(mw) + vecv_(w)`
`5/(sintheta) = (5sqrt(3))/(sin120^@) rArr sin theta = 1//2 rArr theta = 30^@`.

Answer» Correct Answer - 5
`v_x = (dx)/(dt) = 3 and v_y = (dy)/(dt) = 4 - 10t = 4 - 10(0) = 4`
`v = [v_x^(2) + v_(y)^(2)]^(1//2) = [3^2 + 4^2]^(1//2) = 5ms^(-1)`.
5.

The acceleration - velocity graph of a particle moving in a straight line is shown in figure. Then the slope of the velocity- displacement graph A. increases linearlyB. decreases linearlyC. is constantD. increases parabolically

Answer» Correct Answer - C
c. Acceleration- velocity equation from the graph is
a = kv, where k is the slope of given line.
This can also be written as
`v(dv)/(ds) = kv rArr (dv)/(ds) = k`
i.e. slope of velocity - displacement graph is same as slope of
acceleration- velocity graph which is constant.

Projectile motion is a combination of two one-dimensional motion: one in horizontal and other in vertical direction. Motion in 2D means in a plane. Necessary condition for 2D motion is that the velocity vector is coplanar to the acceleration vector. In case of projectile motion, the angle between velocity and acceleration will be `0^@ltthetalt180^@`. During the projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity ramains unchanged but the vertical component of velocity is time dependent. Now answer the following questions: A particle is projected from the origin in the x-y plane. The acceleration of particle in negative y-direction is `alpha`. If equation of path of the particle is `y = ax - bx^2`, then initial velocity of the particle isA. `sqrt(alpha/(2b))`B. `sqrt((alpha(1+a^2))/(2b))`C. `sqrt(alpha/(a^2))`D. `sqrt((alphab)/(a^2))`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
b. `y = ax - bx^2`
or `(dy)/(dt) = a(dx)/(dt) - 2bx(dx)/(dt) = (a-2bx) (dx)/(dt)`
Initially `x=0,v_y = av_x`
`(d^2y)/(dt^2) = (a-2bx) (d^2x)/(dt^2)+[-2b(dx)/(dt)]`
`= (a-2bx)(d^2y)/(dt^2) - 2b ((dx)/(dt))^2`
At `t = 0 , (d^2y)/(dt^2) = -alpha, x= 0, (d^2x)/(dt^2) =0`
`rArr -alpha = -2b((dx)/(dt))^2 = -2b(v_x)^2 or v_x = sqrt(a/(2b))`
`rArr v = sqrt(v_(x)^(2) + v_(y)^(2)) = v_x sqrt(1+a^2) = sqrt((alpha(1+a^2))/(2b))` .

For a particle moving along the x-axis, x-t graph is as given as graph in figure. Mar the correct statement (s). `(#BMS_V01_MAA_E01_052_Q01.png" width="80%">A. Initial velocity of the particle is zero.B. For BC, acceleration is positive and for DE, acceleration is negative.C. For EF, the acceleration is positive.D. Velocity becomes zero three times in the motion.

EF.
For AB and EF, acceleration is positive. For these regions,
graph is concave up.
For BC and DE, acceleration is zero as here velocity is constant.
For CD, acceleration is negative as graph is concave down for
this region.

Figure shows the velocity-displacement curve for an object moving along a straight line. At which of the points marked is the object speeding up? A. 1B. 2C. 1 and 3D. 1,2, and 3

Answer» Correct Answer - A
a. From a = v `dv//ds`, we can find the sign of acceleration at various
points. V is positive for all three points 1,2,and 3. `dv//ds` is
positive for point 1, zero for point 2, negative for point 3.
So, only for point 1, velocity and acceleration have same sign,
so the object is speeding up at point 1 only.

Two particles P and Q are projected simultaneously away from each other from a point A as shown in figure. The velocity of P relative to Q in `ms^(-1)` at the instant when the motion of P is horizontal is A. `10sqrt(4-sqrt3)`B. `20sqrt(4-sqrt3)`C. `10sqrt(4+sqrt3)`D. `20sqrt(4+sqrt3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
b. Intially: `vecu_(P) = 20cos60hati + 20sin60^@hatj = 10hati + 10(sqrt3)hatj`
`vecu = 20(sqrt2)[cos45^@(-hati)+sin45^@hatj] = -20hati + 20hatj`
Initial relative velocity:
`vec(u_(p//Q)) = vecu_(p)-vecu_(Q) = 30hati+(10(sqrt3)-20)hatj`
`u_(p//Q) = sqrt(30^2+(10(sqrt3)-20)^2) = 20 sqrt(4-sqrt(3)) ms^(-1)`
This relative velocity will remain same till both the particles
are in air, because relative acceleration is zero.

Two bodies 1 and 2 are projected simultaneously with velocities `v_1 = 2ms^(-1) and v_2 = 4ms^(-1)` respectively. The body 1 is projected vertically up from the top of a cliff of height h = 10 and the body 2 is projected vertically up from the bottom of the cliff. If the bodies meet, find the time (in s) of meeting of the bodies.

Answer» Correct Answer - 5
Let the particle meet after a time t. First of all, we choose the
point of collision above the top of the cliff.
For the first particle, `s = s_1, v_0 = v_1, a = -g`
Then, `s_1 = v_1t - 1/2 "gt"^2` .........(i)
For the second particle, `s = s_2, v_0 = v_1, a= -g`
Then , `s_2 = v_2t - 1/2 "gt"^2` ..........(ii)
Referring to the figure, `s_2 - s_1 = h`......(iii)
Substtituting `s_1` from Eq. (i), s_2 from Eq. (ii) in Eq. (iii), we have
` t= h/(v_2-v_1) = 10/(4-2) = 5s`.

`t_2 = (2u_2sin60^@)/g = (2(10sqrt(6))sqrt(3)//2)/10 rArr t_2 = sqrt(18)`
`u_1 = (10sqrt(6)cos60^@)/(cos30^@) = 10sqrt2`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
d. If the particles collide in mid air, they travel same displacement
in horizontal direction. So their velocity components along
horizontal should be same, i.e., `v_1costheta_1 = v_2costheta_2`.

A particle is moving along the x-axis whose acceleration is given by ` a= 3x-4`, where x is the location of the particle. At t = 0, the particle is at rest at `x = 4//3m`. The distance travelled by the particles in 5 s isA. zeroB. 42 mC. InfiniteD. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
a. At `t = 0 , v=0, x = 4//3m`
`a = (4xx3)/3 - 4 = 0`
As both the particle velocity and acceleration are zero at t = 0,
it will always remain at rest and hence distance travelled at any
time interval would be zero.

Figure shows path followed by a particle and position of a particle at any instant. Four different students have represented the velocity vectors and acceleration vectors at the given instant. Which vector diagram can not be true in any situation? (In each figure velocity is tangential to the trajectory). A. SitaB. GitaC. RamD. Shyam

Answer» Correct Answer - D
d. In curved path is always within the curvature of trajectory.

The x-t graph of a particle moving along a straight line is shown in figure The speed-time graph of the particle is correctly shown byA. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
c. Speed is always positive. So we can obtain speed - time graph
from velocity-time graph by rotating the part of velocity- time
graph below time axis by `180^@`.

Ram Shyam are walking on two perpendicular tracks with speed `3ms^(-1)` and `4 ms^(-1)`, respectively. At a certain moment `(say t = 0s)`, Ram and Shyam are at 20 m and 40 m away from the intersection of tracks, respectively, and moving towards the intersection of the tracks. During the motion the magnitude of velocity of ram with respect to Shyam isA. `1 ms^(-1)`B. `4 ms^(-1)`C. `5 ms^(-1)`D. `7 ms^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
c. `vecv_(R,S) = vecv_R - vecv_S - vecv_R + (-vecv_S)`
`|vecv_(R,S)| = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2) = 5ms^(-1)`
`tan theta |vecv_R|/|vecv_S| = 3/4`
Hence, `v = 37%@`

Ram Shyam are walking on two perpendicular tracks with speed `3ms^(-1) and 4 ms^(-1)`, respectively. At a certain moment (say t = 0s), Ram and Shyam are at 20 m and 40 m away from the intersection of tracks, respectively, and moving towards the intersection of the tracks. The time t when they are at shortest distance from each other subsequently is -A. 8.8 sB. 12 sC. 15 sD. 44 s

Answer» Correct Answer - A
a. `tan 37^@ = 8/(BC)`
`3/4 - 8/(BC)`
`BC = 32/3m`
`sin 53^@ = 80/(3AB), 4/5 = 80/(3xxAB)`
`AB = (100)/3m`
` t = ((32/3 + 100/3))/5 = 132/15 = 8.8s`.
