During a cyclone, bits of paper, leaves from a tree, etc., enter the twister and move upwards revolving continuously. Explain.

Answer»

Solution :During a cyclone, the velocity of AIR inside the twister is greater that of air outside it and hence the air pressure within the twister becomes LOW. So, bits of paper, leaves, etc. ENTER the centre of the twister from the outer high pressure zone. Inside the twister, the speed of air in the upward direction is higher, so the pieces of paper, leaves, etc., KEEP MOVING upwards revolving continuously.

State with reasons in each

Answer»

SOLUTION :We know that
Total energy `E = PE +KE`
`E = V+K ""…..(i)`
For region A : Given `V gt E` From Eq. (i)
`K = E -V`
as ` V gt E RARR E -V lt 0 `
HENCE , `K lt 0 ` , this is not possible .
For region B : `V lt E rArr E - V gt 0 `
This is possible because total energy can be GREATER than PE(V) .
or region C : Given , `K gt E rArr K - E K - ZE lt 0 `
Which is possible , because PE can be negative . For region D :Given `V gt K `
This is possible because for a system pE (V) MAY be greater than kE (K) .

A particle performs linear SHM of period (2pi)/(omega) about a centre 'O' and is observed to have a velocity bomegasqrt(3) when at a distance b from O'. If the particle is moving towards the positive extremity at that instant, show that it will travel a further distance b in a time (pi)/(3omega) before coming momentarily to rest.

Answer»

Solution :Given `T= (2PI)/(omega), v= bomegasqrt(3)` and x=b
substituting in `v= omegasqrt(A^(2)-x^(2))` we get
`bomegasqrt(3)= omegasqrt(A^(2)-b^(2))`
Squaring , `3b^(2)omega^(2)= omega^(2)(A^(2)-b^(2))`
`3b^(2) = A^(2)-b^(2) implies 4b^(2)= A^(2) implies A= +-2b`
The time TAKEN (t) to travel from the mean position to a distance b can be found from `x= Asin omegat` we have, `x = b, A = 2b:. b=2b sin omegat`
`sinomegat= (1)/(2), omegat= (pi)/(6) implies t= (pi)/(6omega)`
`:.` Further time taken to reach the extreme position `= (T)/(4)- (pi)/(6omega)= (2pi)/(4omega)-(pi)/(6omega)= (pi)/(3omega)`
It will momentarily come to REST when it reaches the positive extreme position. Further distance travelled = A-b=2b-b=b

Two blocks A and B are joined by means of a slacked string passing over a massless pulley as shown in Figure. The system is released from rest and it becomes taut when B falls a distance 0.5 m. a. Find the common velocity of the two blocks just after the string becomes taut. b. Find the magnitude of impulse on the pulley by the clamp during the small interval while string becomes taut.

Answer»


Solution :Velocity of `B` just before the string is taut
`v_(B)=sqrt(2g/_\h)=sqrt10m//s`
a. common velocity =v
`:. (m_(A)+m_(B))v=m_(B)v_(B)impliesv=v_(B)/3=(sqrt(10))/3m//s`
b. magnitude of impulse on `A =` MAGITUDE of impulse on
`B=1(sqrt(10)-(sqrt(10))/3)=2/3sqrt(10)m//s`
THEREFORE, impulse on pulley `=sqrt(2)` impulse on `A=4/3sqrt(5)Ns`

A disc of radius R is rotating with an angular omega_(0) about a horizontal axis. It is placed on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction is mu_(k). (a) What was the velocity of its centre of mass before being brought in contact with the table? (b) What happens to the linear velocity of a point on its rim when placed in contact with the table? (c) What happens to the linear speed of the centre of mass when disc is placed in contact with the table? (d) Which force is responsible for the effects in (b) and (c )? (e) What condition should be satisfied for rolling to being? (f) Calculate the time taken for the rolling to begin.

Answer»

Solution :(a) The disc was in pure rotational motion before being brought in contact with the table, hence `u_(CM)=0`
(b) Velocity of a point on the rim decreases when the disc is placed in contact with the table due to friction.
(c ) Centre of mass ACQUIRES some LINEAR velocity when the rotating disc is placed in contact with the table due to friction.
(d) Friction is responsible.
(E) When rolling starts `v_(CM)=omegaR`.
(f) Acceleration produced in centre of mass due to friction.
`a_(CM)=(f)/(m)=(mu_(K)N)/(m)=(mu_(K)mg)/(m)=mu_(K)g`
Angular retardation produced by the torque due to friction.
`alpha=(tau)/(I)=(mu_(K)mgR)/(I)" "[because tau=fR=mu_(K)mgR]`
`therefore v_(CM)=u_(CM)+a_(CM)t (because u_(CM)=0)`
`therefore v_(CM)=mu_(K)g t`
Now `omega=omega_(0)+ALPHAT`
`therefore omega=omega_(0)-(mu_(K)mgR)/(I)t`
For rolling without slipping,
`(v_(CM))/(R)=omega`
`therefore (v_(CM))/(R)=omega_(0)-(mu_(K)mgR)/(l)t`
`(mu_(K)g t)/(R)=omega_(0)-(mu_(K)mgR)/(l)t`
`t=(Romega_(0))/(mu_(K)g(1+(mR^(2))/(l)))`

Calculate the minimum force required to drag a body of mass m, resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the body and the surface is mu.

Answer»

Solution :Let the applied force be F, acting at an angle `theta` with the HORIZONTAL FIG.
`f_(2)` = force of limiting friction, mg = weight of the body and R = NORMAL force.
For equilibrium,
`R+F sintheta = mg """or"`, R = mg - F sin`theta`
and F cos `theta = f_(s) = mu R= mu (mg- F sin theta`)
or, F cos `theta +muF sin theta = mu`mg
`:. F = (mu mg)/(cos theta+musin theta)`
Value of F will be minimum when ( cos`theta +mu sin theta`) is maximum.
`:. (d)/(d theta) (cos theta +mu sin theta) = 0 `
or , - sin `theta +mucos theta = 0 """or", tan theta = mu `
`:.sin theta = (mu)/(SQRT(1+mu^(2))),"and cos"theta = (1)/(sqrt(1+mu^(2)))`

The ring M_(1) and block M_(2) are held in the position shown in fig. Now the system is released. If M_(1) gt M_(2), find V_(1)//V_(2) wheb the ring m_(1) slides down along the smooth fixed vertical rod by the distance h.

Answer»

Solution :Method 1: Let ring has moved down a distance y. From fig., we have
`y^(2)+l^(2)=s^(2)`…(i)
Here l is the length of string which is constant. Differentiating (i) w.r.t. time, we get

`2y(dy)/(DT)+0=2S(ds)/(dt) or (dy)/(dt)=(s)/(y)*(ds)/(dt)` ...(ii)
Here `(dy)/(dt)=v_(1)` and `(ds)/(dt)=v_(2)`.
For `y=h, s=sqrt(h^(2)+l^(2))`
Therefore, Eq(ii) takes the from
`v_(1)=(sqrt(h^(2)_l^(2)))/(h).v_(2) or (v_1)/(v_2)=(sqrt(h^(2)+l^(2)))/(h)`
Method 2: Let in time t the ring falls to point A which is a distance h below the ring's initial position.

At this position, the string makes an angle `theta` with rod in small time interval dt, the ring moves down to A' and the block rises by `dy_(2)`. Let us DRAW a perpendicular AP from A to AB.
As the length of the string is constant
`:. A'P=dy_(2)`
But `A'P=dy_(1) COS theta`
`:. dy_(1) cos theta=dy_(2)`
Dividing both sides by dt, we get `((dy_(1))/(dt)) cos theta =((dy_(2))/(dt))`.
Here `(dy_(1))/(dt)=V_(1)`, the rate of change of position of ring with time
and `(dy_(2))/(dt) =V_(2)`, the rate of change position of block with time.
Thus, we have `V_(1) cos theta = V_(2)`
or `(V_1)/(V_2)=(1)/(cos theta)=(1)/((h)/(sqrt(h^(2)+l^(2))))=(sqrt(h^(2)+l^(2)))/(h)`.

Consider a geosynchronous communications satellite of mass m placed in an equitorial circular orbit of radius r_(0). These satellite have an "apogee engine" which provides the thrusts needed to reach the final orbit. Once an error by the ground controllers causes the apogee engine to be fired. the thrust happens to be directed the Earth and, despite the quick reaction of the ground crew to shut the engine off, an unwanted velocity variation Deltav is imparted on the satellite. we characterize this boost by the parameter beta=Deltav//v_(0). the duration of the engine burn is always negligible with respect to any other orbital times, so that it can be considered as instantaneous.[Hing : under the action of central forces obeying the inverse square law, bodies follow trajectories descirbed by ellipses, parabolas or hyperbolas. in the approzimation mlt ltM the gravitating mass M is at one of the focuses. where l is a positive constant named the semilatus rectum and epsilon is the eccentricity of the curve. in terms of constants of motion: l=(L^(2))/(GMm^(2)) and epsilon=(1+(2EL^(2))/(G^(2)M^(2)m^(3)))^(1//2) where G is the Newton constant, L is the modulus of the angular momentum of the orbiting mass, with respect to the origin, and E is its mechanical energy, with zero potential energy at infinity. suppose betalt1 Determine what kind of trajectorythe satellite will take
