The positione of a particle is expressed as ` vecr = ( 4t^(2) hati + 2thatj)` m, where t is time in second. Find the velocity o the particle at t = 3 s

Answer» `vecr = ( 4t^(2)hati + 2thatt) m`
Velocity ` vecc = (dvecr)/(dt) = hati d/(dt) (4t^(2)) + hatj d/(dt) (2t)`
` vecv = ( 8t) hati + 2hatj`
At t = 3 s , velocity is given by

` = 24.08 m s^(-1)`
Direction ` theta = tan ^(-1) 2/24`
` = tan^(-1) 1/12 = 4.76^(@)`
Thus the particle has velocity `24.08 m s^(-1)` at an angle ` 4.76^(@)` with x -axis.

A cyclist starts from the centre O of a circular park of radius 1km, reaches the edge P of the park, then cycles along the PQ cicumference and returns to the centre along OQ as shown in fig. If the round trip taken ten minute, the net displacement and average speed of the cylists (in kilometer and kinetic per hour) is A. 0.1B. `(pi + 4)/(2), 0 `C. `21.4, ""(pi+4)/(2)`D. 0.21.4

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Since the initial position coincides with the final position. So, net displancement of the cyclist =zero
`"Aveerage speed of the cyclist"=("Total distance travelled")/("Total time taken")`
`=(OP+PQ+QO)/(10)kmmin""^(-1)=(1+(pi)/(2)xx1+1)/(10)kmmin""^(-1)`
`=(pi+4)/(20)kmmin""^(-1)=(pi+4)/(20)xx60kmh^(-1)=21.4kmh^(-1)`

The equations of motion of a projectile are given by `x=36tm and 2y =96t-9.8t^(2)m`. The angle of projection isA. `sin^(-1)((4)/(5))`B. `sin^(-1)((3)/(5))`C. `sin^(-1)((4)/(3))`D. `sin^(-1)((3)/(4))`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Given : `x = 36t, 2y = 96t - 9.8 t^(2)`
or `y = 48t - 4.9t^(2)`
Let the initial velocity of projectile be u and angle of projection is `theta`. Then,
Initial horizontal component of velocity,
`u_(x) = u cos theta = ((dx)/(dt))_(t=0) = 36 or u cos theta = 36 " "...(i)`
Initial vertical component of velocity,
`u_(y) = u sin theta = ((dy)/(dt))_(t = 0) = 48 or u sin theta = 48 " "...(ii)`
Dividing (ii) by (i), we get
` tan theta = (48)/(36) = (4)/(3) therefore sin theta = (4)/(5) or theta = sin^(-1) ((4)/(5))`

In a two dimensional motion,instantaneous speed `v_(0)` is a positive constant.Then which of the following are necessarily true?A. The average velocity is not zero at any timeB. Average acceleration must always vanish.C. Displacements in equal time intervals are equalD. Equal path lengths are traversed in equal intervals.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
As speed is a sclar quantity, hence is will be related with path length (scalar quantity only)
