A body of mass `1 kg` begins to move under the action of a time dependent force `vec F = (2 t hat I + 3 t^(2) hat j) N`, where `hat i` and `hat j` are unit vectors along x-and y-axes. What power will be developed by the force at the time `t` ?A. `(2t^(2) + 3 t^(3)) W`B. `(2t^(2) + 4 t^(4)) W`C. `(2t^(3) + 3 t^(4)) W`D. `(2t^(3) + 3 t^(5)) W`

Answer» `vec F = 2 t hat i + 3 t^(2) hat j`
`vec a = (d vec v)/(dt) = 2 t hat i + 3 t^(2) hat j`
`int_(0)^(vec v) d vec v = int_(0)^(t) (2t hat i + 3 t^(2) hat j) dt`
`vec v = t^(2) hat i + t^(3) hat j`
`rho = vec F * vec v = (2 t^(3) + 3 t^(5)) W`

The bulk modulus of a spherical object is `B` if it is subjected to uniform pressure `p`, the fractional decrease in radius is:A. `(B)/(3p)`B. `(3p)/(B)`C. `(p)/(3B)`D. `(p)/(B)`

Answer» `B = - (Delta P)/(Delta V//V)`
`(Delta V)/(V) = -(P)/(B)`
`V = (4)/(2) pi R^(3)`
`(Delta V)/(V) = 3 (Delta R)/(R )`
`(Delta R)/(R ) = - (p)/(3B)`

If `theta_1` and `theta_2` be the apparent angles of dip observed in two vertical planes at right angles to each other, then the true angle of dip `theta` is given byA. `tan^(2) theta=tan^(2)theta_(1)+tan^(2) theta_(2)`B. `cot^(2) theta=cot^(2) theta_(1)-cot^(2) theta_(2)`C. `tan^(2) theta=tan^(2)theta_(1)-tan^(2) theta_(2)`D. `cot^(2) theta=cot^(2) theta_(1)+cot^(2) theta_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`tan theta_(1)=(tan theta)/(cos alpha), tan theta_(2)=(tan theta)/(cos(90-alpha))=(tan theta)/(sin alpha)`
`cos^(2)alpha+sin^(2)alpha=1`
`cot^(2) theta_(1)+cot^(2) theta_(2)=cot^(2) theta`

A solid sphere is in rolling motion. In rolling motion a body prosseses translational kinetic energy `(K_(t))` as well as rotational kinetic energy `(K_(r))` simutaneously. The ratio `K_(t) : (K_(t) + K_(r))` for the sphere isA. `10 : 7`B. `2 : 5`C. `5 : 7`D. `7 : 10`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`(K_(t))/(K_(t) + K_(r)) = (1)/(1 + (k^(2))/(R^(2))) = (1)/(1 + (2)/(5)) = (5)/(7)`

There object, `A` : (a solid sphere), `B` : (a thin circular disk) and `C` : (a circular ring), each have the same mass `M` and radius `R`. They all spin with the same angular speed `omega` about their own symmetry axes. The amount of work `(W)` required ot bring them to rest, would satisfy the relationA. `W_(B) gt W_(A) gt W_(C )`B. `W_(B) gt W_(C ) gt W_(B )`C. `W_(A) gt W_(B) gt W_(C )`D. `W_(C ) gt W_(A) gt W_(A)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Work = Loss in `K.E. = (1)/(2) I omega^(2)`
`I_(A) = (2)/(5) MR^(2) = 0.4 MR^(2)`
`I_(B) = (1)/(2) MR^(2) = 0.5 MR^(2)`
`I_(C ) = MR^(2)`
`I_(C ) gt I_(B) gt I_(A)`
`W_(C ) gt W_(B) gt W_(A)`

The kinetic energies of a planet in an elliptical orbit about the Sun, at positions `A,B` and `C` are `K_(A),K_(B)` and `K_(C)` respectively. AC is the major axis and `SB` is perpendicular to `AC` at the position of the sun as shown in the figure. Then A. `K_(B) lt K_(A) lt K_(C )`B. `K_(B) gt K_(A) gt K_(C )`C. `K_(A)B gt K_(B) gt K_(C )`D. `K_(A) lt K_(B) lt K_(C )`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
From angular momentum conservation, `v_(A) ` : maximum, `v_(c )` : minimum
`:. K_(A) gt K_(B) gt K_(C )`
