A small object loops a vertical loop in which a symmetrical section of angle 2alphahas been removed (Fig.) Find the maximum and the minimum heights from which the object, after loosing contact with the loop at point A and flying through the air, will reach point B. Find the corresponding angles of the section removed for which this is possible.

Answer»


Solution :The object thrown at an INITIAL speed `v_0` at an angle `alpha` to the horizontal must fly through the air a DISTANCE AB = L = 2R sin `alpha`. We know (see ) that
`L=(2v_0^2sinalphacosalpha)/g`
So `v_0^2=(gR)/(COSALPHA)`
To find the speed `v_0` apply the law of conservation of energy
`mgH = mgH (1+ cos alpha)+1/2 mv_0^2`
for which `k=H/R=1+cos alpha+1/(2 cosalpha)`.
For the computation of `cos alpha `
we obtain an equation
`2 cos^2alpha-2(k-1) cos alpha+1=0`
`cosalpha=1/2(k-1pmsqrt((k-1)^2-2))`
Since the number under the root sign must be non - negative , we obtain `k-1gesqrt2` i.e. `kge1+sqrt2`.
On the other hand `0 lt cos alpha le 1`, i.e. `k-1 +sqrt((k-1)^(2)-2) le le 2 and k le 2.5`. Thus
`1+sqrt2 le k le 2.5 `, i.e. `(1+sqrt2)R le H le 2.5R`
For the limiting VALUES of the cosines we have
`cosalpha=sqrt2/2,e. alpha_1=45^@`
`cos alpha=(1.5pm0.5)//2,cosalpha_(2)=0.5, cosalpha_3=1`
Obviously the solution `cos alpha_(3) =1` does not satisfy the condition of the problem since for `alpha_3=0` there will be no cut. So the remaining solution is `cos alpha_(2)=0.5 , alpha_(2) = 60^@`
Accordingly for the heights in the range `(1+sqrt2)R le H le le 2.5R` corresponding suitable cuts are those with angles of`45^@ le le alpha le 60^@` chosen so as to satisfy the condition
`cosalpha=1/2(k-1-sqrt(k^2-2k-1))`

Answer»

Solution :
Here,U =`100ms^(-1)` ,g=`-10 ms^(-2)`

Obtain an expression for the kinetic energy of a particle performing linear SHM. State how it depends upon the amplitude, frequency and period of SHM.

Answer»

Solution :Consider a particle of MASS m performing linear SHM with amilitude A. The restoring force acting on the particle is `F=-kx`, where k is the force constant and X is the displacement of the particle from its mean position.
As `omega=2pif=(2pi)/(T)`, where f and T are respectively the frequency and PERIOD of SHM,
`KE=(1)/(2)momega^(2)(A^(2)-x^(2))=(1)/(2)m(4pi^(2)f^(2))(A^(2)-x^(2))`
`=2 m pi^(2)f^(2)(A^(2)-x^(2))=(2mpi^(2)(A^(2)-x^(2)))/(T^(2))`
Thus, `KE prop A^(2) prop f^(2)` and `KE prop (1)/(T^(2))`
[Note : Total energy : The total energy of a particle performing linear SHM is
`E=PE+KE=(1)/(2)kx^(2)+(1)/(2)k(A^(2)-x^(2))=(1)/(2)kx^(2)+(1)/(2)kA^(2)-(1)/(2)kA^(2)`
`=(1)/(2)momega^(2)=2mpi^(2)f^(2)A^(2)=(2mpi^(2))/(T^(2))A^(2)`
`:. E prop A^(2), E prop f^(2), E prop (1)/(T^(2))`]

An alpha -particle moving with initial kinetic energy 'K' towards a nucleus of atomic number Z approaches a distance 'r_(0)' at which it reverses its direction. Obtain the expression for the distance of closest approach 'r_(0)' in terms of kinetic energy of a particle.

Answer»

Solution :Consider an o-particle of mass m, charge + 2e and an initial speed v (or initial KINETIC energy K) moving straight along the central LINE of a nucleus of atomic number Z.
As `alpha`particle approaches the nucleus, on account of electrostatic repulsion, its speed goes on DECREASING and at a point SITUATED at a distance `r_(0)`, the `alpha`-particle momentarily comes to REST. Obviously in this position the initial kinetic energy of `alpha`-particle has been completely converted into electrostatic potential energy i.e.,
`K.E ` at`A =P.E` at B
`therefore "" k = (1)/(2) mv^(2)= (1)/(4 pi in_(0)) .((+2e)(+Ze))/(r_(0))`
`rArr "" r_(0) = (1)/(4 pi in_(0)) = (2Ze^(2))/(((1)/(2) mv^(2))) =(1)/(4pi in_(0)) .(2Ze^(2))/(K)`

Each side of a cube is measured to be 7.023m. What are the total surface area and volume of the cube to appropriate significant figures.

Answer»

Solution :Here l=7.203m Surface area of the cube=`6l^2
A=6(7.203)^2=311.299m^2`
As l has four SIGNIFICANT FIGURES as per rule surface area and VOLUME both should have four significant figures.
Rounding off`A=311.3mm^2` volume of the cube `=l^3=(7.203)^3=373.714m^3=373.7m^3`

What are the dimensions of chi, the magnetic susceptibility? Consider an H-atom. Guess an expression for chi, upto a constant by constructing a quantity of dimensions of chi, out of parameters of the atom: e, m, v, R and mu_0. Here, m is the electronic mass, v is electronic velocity, R is Bohr radius. Estimate the number so obtained and compare with the value of |chi|10^(-5) for many solid materials.

Answer»

Solution :Magnetic susceptibility of substance `chi_(m) = (M)/( H)`
`chi_(m) = (I)/( I) [ because` Units of M and H are same dimension FORMULA of `chi_(m) [M^(0) L^(0) T^(0) ]`.
From Biot-Savart.s law,
`dB= (mu_0)/( 4pi )( I dl sin theta )/( R^2)`
`therefore mu_0 = (4pir^2dB)/( Idl sin theta)`
`= (4pi r^2)/( I dl sin theta ) xx (F)/( qv sin theta) [ because dB= (F)/( dv sin theta)]`
The dimensional formula of `mu_0`
`therefore` Dimension of `mu_0 = (L^(2) xx [M^(1) L^(1) T^(-2) ] )/( (QT^(-1) ) (L) (Q) (L^(-1) T^(-1) ) )`
`= M^(1) L^(1) Q^(-2)""` [Where Q is the dimension of charge]
An `chi` is dimensionless, it should have no involvement of charge Q in its dimension formula. It will be so if `mu_0 and e^(2)` together should have the value `mu_(0) e^(2)` as e has the dimension of charge.
LET `chi= mu_(0) e^(2) m^(a) V^(b) R^(c ) ""...(1)`
where a, b, c are the power of m, v and R respectively, such that relation (1) is satisfied
Dimension equation of (1) is,
`[ M^(0) L^(0) T^(0) Q^(0) ] = [ M^(1) L^(1) Q^(-2) ] [Q^(2) ] [Q^(2) ] [M]^(a) [LT^(-1) ]^(b) [L]^(c )`
`= [M^(1+a)] [L^(1+ b+ c)] [T^(-b) ] [Q^(0)]`
Equating the power of M, L, T
Equating the power of M,
`a+1 =0 therefore a= -1 ""...(2)`
Equating the power of T,
`-b=0 therefore b=0""...(3)`
Equating the power of Q,
`1+b + c =0`
`therefore c=-1""...(4)`
PUTTING value of a, b, c in equation (1)
`chi= mu_(0)e^(2) m^(-1) v^(0) R^(-1)`
`chi= (mu_(0) e^(2) ) /( mR) [ because v^(0) =1]""...(5)`
Here `mu_0= 4pi xx 10^(-7) Tm//A`
`e= 1.6 xx 10^(-19) C`
`m=9.1 xx 10^(-31) Kg`
`R= 10^(-10) m`
`therefore chi = ((4pi xx 10^(-7) ) (1.6 xx 10^(-19) )^(2) )/( (9.1 xx 10^(-3) ) (10^(-10) )) ~~ 10^(-4)`
`(chi )/( chi_(+) ) = (10^(-4) ) /( 10^(-5)) = 10`
