Let x be the displacement of the plank towards left. Now the centre of gravity is also displaced through x.
`R_1+R_2=mg`
Taking moment about g we get
`R_1(l/2-x)=R_2(1/2-x)`

How many head-on elastic collisions must a neutron have with deuterium nuclei to reduce it energy from `6.561 MeV` to `1 keV`?A. 4B. 5C. 8D. 3

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`("Energy loss")/("Initial KE") = (4m_(1)m_(2))/((m_(1) + m_(2))^(2)) = (4(1)(2))/((1+2)^(2)) = 8/9`
After `1^(st)` collision `DeltaE_(1) = 8/9 E_(0)` After `2^(nd)` collision `DeltaE_(2) = (8)/(9)E_(1)`, After `n^(th)` collision `DeltaE_(n) = (8)/(9)E_(n1)`

A uniform circular disc of radius R oscillates in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis. Find the distance of the axis of rotation from the centre of which the period is minimum. What is the value of this period?

Answer» The time period of a compound pendulum is the minimum when its length is equal to the radius of gyration about its centre of gravity , i.e., l=k.
Since, the moment of inertia of a disc about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its centre is equal to,

The longest wavelength `lambda_("max")` (or minimum energy) photon will correspond to the transition of particle from `n=3` to `n=2`.
`:. (hc)/lambda_("max")=E_(3)-E_(2)=Rhc(1/2^(2)-1/3^(2))`
`implies lambda_("max")=18/(5R)`

The amplitude of damped oscillator becomes half in one minute. The amplitude after 3 minutes will be `1//x` times the original, where x isA. 8B. 2C. 3D. 4

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The variation in amplitude of damped harmonic oscilator with time is given by
`A=A_(0)e^(-bt)`
`A_(0)`=Initial amplitude, b=damping factor
It is given that after 1 minute, `A_(1)=A_(0)//2=A_(0)e^(-bt)`
`:. 2=e^(b)`
`:.` after 3 minutes, `A_(3)=A_(0)//x=A_(0)e^(-3b)`
`:. x=2^(3)`

The amplitude of a damped oscillator becomes half in one minutes. The amplitude after 3 minutes will be 1/x times of the original . Determine the value of x.

Answer» Amplitude of damped oscillations is `A=A_(0)e^(-gammat)`
`" "`(from `x=x_(m)e^(-gammat)`)
As `A=A_(0)//2 " at " t=1` minute,
So `(A_(0))/(2)=A_(0)e^(-gamma) " or "e^(gamma)=2`
After 3minutes the amplitude will be `A_(0)//x`
So `(A_(0))/(x)=A_(0)e^(-gamma3)`
or `x=e^(3y)=(e^(gamma))^(3)=2^(3)=8`

Passage XII)_ A particle of mass m is constrained to move along x-axis. A force F acts on the particle. F always points toward the position labelled E. For example, when the particle is to the left of E,Fpoints to the right. The magnitude of F is consant except at point E where it is zero. The systm is horizontal. F is the net force acting on the particle. the particle is displaced a distance A towards left from the equilibrium position E and released from rest at t=0. Velocity-time graph of the particle is A. B. C. D.

The left block in figure moves at a speed v towards the right block placed in equilibrium. All collilsions to take place are elastic and the surfaces are frictionless. Show that motion of the two blocks are periodic. Find the timepoerid of these periodic motions. Neglect the widths of the blocks.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
When the block A moves with velocity V and collides with the block B, it transfers all energy to the block B. (because it is an elastic collision). The block A will move a distance x against the spring, again the spring, again the block b will return to the origiN/Al point and completes half of the oscillation.
So, the time period of b is
`(2pisqrt(m/k))/2=m/k`
The block B collides with the block A and comes o rest at that point. The block AS again moves a further distance L to return to its origiN/Al position. The time taken is
`L/V+L/V=2(L/V)`
So the period of the periodic motion is
`2L/V+pi sqrt((m/k))`
