Generally, we consider that during slowing of a moving automobile, its retardation is constant, but in practice this is seldom the case. Under many circumstances, especially at high speed, we usually apply the brakes slowly at first and then more strongly as the car slows. The braking force therefore depends on the time during the interval over which the car is slowing and acceleration changes with time. a_(x)(t)=(v_(A)-v_(x))/(dt) =(F_(x)(t))/(m) int_(v_(0_(x)))^(v_(x))dV_(x)=int_(0)^(1)(F_(x)(t))/(m)dt therefore V_(x)=V_(0x)+(1)/(m) int_(0)^(1)F_(x) (t) dt x(t)=x_(0)+int_(0)^(1) V_(x) (t) dt An example for the same is discussed here. A car of mass m = 1000 kg is moving with 25 m/s. The driver begins to apply the brakes so that the magnitude of the braking force increases linearly with time at a rate of 2000 N/s. Read the above passage carefully and answer the following questions. How much time passes before the car comes to rest?

A block of solid onk with dimensions 10cmxx20cmxx20cm floats in water Fig. The block is submerged a little and let go. Find the frequency and the period of vibrations.

The radionuclide .^(11)C decays according to ._(6)^(11)C to ._(5)^(11)B+ e^(+)+v : T_(1//2)=20.3 min. The maximum energy of the emitted positron is 0.960 MeV. Given the mass values , m(._(6)^(11)C)=11.011434 u and m(._(6)^(11)B)=11.009305 u, calculate Q and compare it with the maximum energy of the positron emitted.

Answer»

Solution :Mass defect in the given reaction is
`Delta m = m(._(6)C^(11))`
`= [m (._(5)B^(11))+Me]`
This is in terms of NUCLEAR masses. If we EXPRESS the Q VALUE interms of atomic masses we have to subtract `6m_(e)` from atomic mass of carbon and `5 m_(e)` from that of boron to GET the corresponding nuclear masses
Therefore, we have
`Delta m = [m(._(6)C^(11))-6 m_(e)-m(._(5)B^(11))+5m_(e)-m_(e)]`
`=[m(._(6)C^(1))-m(._(5)B^(11))-2m_(e)]`
` = [11.011434-11.009305-2xx0.000548]u`
`= 0.001033 u`
As, 1u = 931 MeV
`Q = 0.001033xx931 MeV = 0.961 MeV`
Which is the maximum energy of emitted POSITION.

A rope ladder of length L is attached to ballon of mass m. As the man of mass m clims the ladder in to the lballon basket the ballon comes donws by a vertical distance s. Then increase in potential energy of man divided by increase inn potentialenergy of ballon is

Answer»

`(L-s)/(s)`
`(L)/(s)`
`(s)/(L-s)`
`L-s`

SOLUTION :Work DONE by MAN
mg L = mg (L-s)++mg.s
where .mg(L-s) = increases in P.E of man
mg s = increases in P.Eof man
mg s= increases in P.Eballoon
so (increase in P.E of man)/(increase of P.E of BALLON)=(mg(L-s)/(mgs)`

Determine the relationship between the torque N and the torsion angle varphi for (a) the tube whose wall thickness Deltar is considerably less than the tube radius, (b) for the solid rod of circular cross-section. Their lengh l, radius r, and shear modulus G are supposed to be known.

Answer»

Solution :(a) Consider a hollow CYLINDER of length l, outer radius `r+Deltar` inner radius r, fixed at one END and twisted at the other by means of a couple of moment N. The angular displacement `varphi`, at a distance l from the fixed end, is proportional to both l and N. Consider an element of length `dx` at the twisted end. It is moved by an ANGLE `varphi` as shown. A vertical SECTION is also shown and the twisting of the parallelopipe of length l and area `Deltardx` under the action of the twisting couple can be discussed by elementary means. If f is the tangential force generated then shearing stress is `f//Deltardx` and this must equal
`Gtheta=G(rvarphi)/(l)`, since `theta=(rvarphi)/(l)`.
Hence, `f=GDeltardx(rvarphi)/(l)`.
The force f has moment `f r` about the axis and so the total moment is
`N=GDeltar(varphi)/(l)r^2intdx=(2pir^3Deltarvarphi)/(l)G`
(b) For a solid cylinder we must integrate over r. Thus
`N=overset(0)overset(r)INT(2pir^3drvarphiG)/(l)=(pir^4Gvarphi)/(2l)`

Answer»

`24%`
`12%`
`6%`
`8%`

Solution :Here `Q=(a^(2)b^(3)c^(5//2))/(x^(2))`

Which of the following types of electromagnetic radiation has the longest wavelength ?

Answer»

Gamma rays
ULTRAVIOLET
BLUE light
Orange light

Solution :Gamma rays and X-rays are very high-energy, short-wavelength radiations. Ultraviolet light has a higher energy and shorter wavelength than visible light. Within the visible spectrum, the colors are-in ORDER of increasing FREQUENCY-ROYGBV, so orange light ("O") has a lower frequency- and thus a longer wavelength-than blue LUGHT ("B").

a. A closed loop is held stationary int eh magnetic field between the north and south poles of two permanent magnets held fixed. Can we hope to generate current in the loop by using very strong magnets? b. A closed loop move normal to the constant electric field between the plates of a large capacitor. Is a current induced in the loop (i) when it is wholly inside the region between the capacitor plates (ii) when it is partially outside the plates of the capacitor? The electric field is normal to the plane of the loop. c. A rectangular loop and a circular loop are moving out of a uniform magnetic field (region). (see fig.) to field-free region with a constant velocity v. In which loop do you expect the induced emf to be constant during the passage out of the field region? The field is normal to the loops. d. Predict the polarity of the capacitor in the situation described by the figure below.

Answer»

Solution :a. No. However strong the magnet may be, current can be induced only by changing the magnetic FLUX through the loop.
b. No current is induced in either case. Current cannot to induced by changing the ELECTRIC flux.
c. The induced emf is expected to be constant only in the case of the rectangular loop. In the case of circular loop, the rate of change of area of the loop during its passage out of the field REGION is not constant, hence induced emf will vary accordingly.
d. The POLARITY of plate .A. will be positive with RESPECT to plate .B. in the capacitor.

Answer»

Solution :Elnstein’s photoelectric EQUATION:
Where v = incident FREQUENCY,`v_(0 =`threshold frequency, `V_(0) =` stopping potential
(i)Incident energy of photon is used in to (a) to liberate ELECTRON from the metal surface (b) rest of the energy appears as maximum energy electron.
(ii)Only one electron can absorb energy of one photon. Hence increasing intensity increases the numbers of electrons hence current.
(iii)If incident energy is less than WORK function, no emission of electron will take place.
