Two wires of the same material and length but diameter in the ratio 1:2 are stretched by the sameforce. The ratio of potential energy per unit volume for the two wires when stretched will be10.(D) 16: 1

Answer»

wrong answer

Elastic energy per unit volume: E = 1/2 * Stress * Strain

Using Hooke's law: Strain = Stress/Y

E = (Stress)^2/2Y = F^2/2Y A^2 where A = πD^2/ 4E = 8F^2/π^2D^4Y

∴ E1/E2 = (D2/D1)^4 (∵ F and Y are same for both )GIven : D1/D2 = 1/2

E1/E2 = (2/1)^4 = 16/1

l is thrown vertically upward attains a maximum hoight of 45 m. The timo after which velocity of the balbecome equal to haif the velocity of projection? (use g 10 m/s(1) 2s(3) 1sof the baltlNo(2) 1.5 s(4) 0.5s

Answer»

Let the initial velocity is U and given the maximum height is 45m , at which V = 0

so, v² = u²-2gh => u² =2*10*45=> u = √900 = 30m/s

now time when V = u/2 = 30/2 = 15m/s is

V = u -gt ==> 15 = 30-10t => t = 15/10 = 1.5sec

19.(a) A stone is thrown vertically upward, it reaches the maximum height and returnsback to the initial position. Draw i) velocity-time graph and j) displacement-timegraph for entire journey. (Take downward direction as negative)

Answer»

nagative point of stone

Let us consider an object which is projected vertically upwards with initial velocity u which reaches a maximum height h.Acceleration due to gravity=-gEquation of Motion for a body projected thrown upwards :V=u-gt----------(1)h=ut-1/2gt² -----------(2)v²-u²=-2gh --------(3)

Equations of motion for freely falling body :for free fall :Initial velocity=u=0g=gV=gt----------(4)h=1/2gt²-------(5)v²=2gh------(6)Time of Ascent is the time taken by body thrown up to reach maximum height hAt maximum height , V=0

Equation (1) turns to u=gt1t1=u/g ----------(7)Maximm height h=u²/2g ----------(8)

Time of descent : After reaching maximum height , the body begins to travel downward like free fallso equation (5) h=1/2gt₂²t₂²=2h/gt₂=√2h/gbut from equation (9)t₂=√2xu²/2g²t₂=u/g -----------------equation (10)∴t₁=t₂The time ascent is equal to time of descent in case of bodies moving under gravity.

Why we slip down on stepping over the banana peel

Answer»

Thepeelmakes the surface smooth, so the friction between our feet and ground decreases, causing us tofall whenwe stepon abanana peel.

Fluid friction is the force of friction exerted by fluids on objects movingthrough them.

Walking on smooth surfaces is difficult because friction is less.

98. A scooter going due east at 10 m s turns rightthrough an angle of 90°. If the speed of the scooterremains unchanged in taking this turn, the changein the velocity of the scooter is:(1) 20.0 m sin south-western direction(2) zero(3) 10.0 ms in south-east direction(4) 14.14 m s- in south-western directiontinn from rest to move in

Answer»

10 in south east direction

Let east be +i ( +ve x axis) and north be +j ( +ve y axis)

now velocity of scooter Initial = 10i

if it turns right of east , mean he goes to southvelocity final = -10j

now change in speed = -10j-10i = √(10)²+(10)² = 10√2 = 14.14

direction is -i-j ( south west)

Describe process of transfer of heat by convection.Give any two applications of convection

Answer»

Convectionis the process of heat transfer from one location to the next by the movement of fluids. The moving fluid carries energy with it. The fluid flows from a high temperature location to a low temperature location.To understand convection in fluids, let's consider the heat transfer through the water that is being heated in a pot on a stove. Of course the source of the heat is the stove burner. The metal pot that holds the water is heated by the stove burner. As the metal becomes hot, it begins to conduct heat to the water. The water at the boundary with the metal pan becomes hot. Fluids expand when heated and become less dense. So as the water at the bottom of the pot becomes hot, its density decreases. Differences in water density between the bottom of the pot and the top of the pot results in the gradual formation ofcirculation currents. Hot water begins to rise to the top of the pot displacing the colder water that was originally there. And the colder water that was present at the top of the pot moves towards the bottom of the pot where it is heated and begins to rise. These circulation currents slowly develop over time, providing the pathway for heated water to transfer energy from the bottom of the pot to the surface.Convection also explains how an electric heater placed on the floor of a cold room warms up the air in the room. Air present near the coils of the heater warm up. As the air warms up, it expands, becomes less dense and begins to rise. As the hot air rises, it pushes some of the cold air near the top of the room out of the way. The cold air moves towards the bottom of the room to replace the hot air that has risen. As the colder air approaches the heater at the bottom of the room, it becomes warmed by the heater and begins to rise. Once more, convection currents are slowly formed. Air travels along these pathways, carrying energy with it from the heater throughout the room.

Write two applications of static inertia in daily life situations ?

Answer»

Fruits fall down due to inertia of rest when the branches of a tree are shaken. Fruits and branches are both at rest, but when branches of trees are shaken, branches starts moving where as fruits remain its state of rest and so separated from the branches and fall down. Dust particles on a carpet fall if we beat the carpet with a stick is another example for the inertia at rest. When we beat the carpet with a stick carpet starts moving, but the dust particles remains at its state of rest and separated from the carpet. With a quick pull, a table cloth can be removed from a dining table without disturbing dishes on it due to the Inertia of rest. The inertia of rest of the dishes keeps them where they are.__________________

Obtain the equations of motion (any two) for constant acceleration using method of calculus. 2

Answer»

Solution :- We know , acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time .e.g an instant time ; a = dv/dt a = dv/dt a∫dt = ∫dv now, integrate a.(t₂ - t₁) = v - u Let (t₂- t₁) = t then, at = v - u v = u + at ___ its a motion equation ,

now , v = u + at multiply both sides, with dt v.dt = u.dt + at.dt we know, v.dt = S { distance = speed * time } use this S = u(t₂-t₁) + a(t₂-t₁)²/2 hence, S = ut + 1/2at² ___motion, equation.

now, S = ut + 1/2at² ___(1) v = u + atsquaring both sides, v² = u² + a²t² + 2uat v² = u² + 2a{ 1/2at² + ut } from eqn (1) v² = u² + 2aS ____motion equation,

or we know, v.dv/dx = a ∫v.dv = a∫dx integrate both sides, v² - u² = 2a( x₂ - x₁) Let ( x₂ - x₁) = S v² = u² + 2aS___motion equation

Answer»

Let us consider an object which is projected vertically upwards with initial velocity u which reaches a maximum height h.Acceleration due to gravity=-gEquation of Motion for a body projected thrown upwards :V=u-gt----------(1)h=ut-1/2gt² -----------(2)v²-u²=-2gh --------(3)

Equations of motion for freely falling body :for free fall :Initial velocity=u=0g=gV=gt----------(4)h=1/2gt²-------(5)v²=2gh------(6)Time of Ascent is the time taken by body thrown up to reach maximum height hAt maximum height , V=0

Equation (1) turns to u=gt1t1=u/g ----------(7)Maximm height h=u²/2g ----------(8)

Time of descent : After reaching maximum height , the body begins to travel downward like free fallso equation (5) h=1/2gt₂²t₂²=2h/gt₂=√2h/gbut from equation (9)t₂=√2xu²/2g²t₂=u/g -----------------equation (10)∴t₁=t₂The time ascent is equal to time of descent in case of bodies moving under gravity.

A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocityo-3/m/s and a constant acceleration39.2 m/s. Its speed when its xcoordinate of position is maximumis 11(1) 3 ms(3) 6 m/s(4) 9 ms

Answer»

Well, first we want to find the time in which the particle changes from a positive X speed, to a negative x speed, so we're looking for where x = 0.

If we use V = V0+at using initial velocity and acceleration, we get:0 = 3 + -1(t)t = 3

So, it changes direction along the x axis at 0, and that's it's max x. To find velocity, we use time and it's acceleration along the y axis, so...V = V0+atV = 0+.5(3)V = 1.5 = Answer (a)Hence, option (2) is correct.

3. A body is projected horizontally from the top of a tower with initial velocity 18 ms-1, It hits the ground at angle45 What is the vertical component of velocity when it strikes the ground?n) 9 ms-

Answer»

If velocity of the body when It strikes the ground is v at an angle of 45°, then

Horizontal component of v =Initial horizontal velocity

It is because there is no force acting on the body horizontally and so velocity remains constant. Thus

v Cos 45°=horizontal component of velocity at the point of strike=18 m/s

The vertical component of the velocity=v Sin 45°=v Cos 45° (since Sin 45°=Cos 45°)

Thus vertical component of velocity of the body at the point of strike=v Cos45°

=18 m/s
