In a ballistics demonstration, a police officer fires a bullet mass `50.0g` with speed `200ms^(-1)` on soft plywood of thickness 2.00cm. The bullet emerges only with `10%` of its initial kinetic energy. What is the emergent speed of the bullet ?

Answer» Here, `m=50.0g`
`=(50)/(1000)kg=(1)/(20)kg`
`v_(i)=200ms^(-1)`
`:.` Initial K.E., `K_(i)=(1)/(2)mv_(i)^(2)`
`=(1)/(2)xx(1)/(20)(200)^(2)=1000J`
Final K.E., `K_(f)=10% (K_(i))`
`=(10)/(100)xx1000J=100J`
If `v_(f)` is emergent speed of the bullet, then
`(1)/(2)mv_(f)^(2)=K_(f)`
`v_(f)=sqrt((2K_(f))/(m))=sqrt((2xx100)/(1//20))=63.2m//s`
Note that K.E. is reduced by `90%` but speed is reduced by nearly `68%`.

Answer» `DeltaK=K_(f)-K_(i)=W`
`W=1/2mv ^(2)mu^(2).m=10xx10^(-3)kg,u=300m//sv=200m//s`
`W=K_(f)-K_(f)=1/2mv^(2)-1/2mu^(2)=1/2xx10xx10^(-3)xx(200^(2)-300^(2))`
`=-5xx10^(-3)xx500x100=-250J`

A simple pendulum of length 1 m has a wooden bob of mass 1 kg. It is struck by a bullet of mass `10^(-2)` kg moving with a speed of `2 xx 10^(2) m s^(-1)`. The height to which the bob rises before swinging back is (Take `g = 10 m s^(-2)`)A. 0.2 mB. 0.6 mC. 8 mD. 1 m

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Momentum of bullet =`10^(-2)xx2xx10^2 = 2 kg m s^(-1)`
Let the combined velocity of the bob + bullet =v
Momentum of bob + bullet =`(10^(-2) + 1)v=1.01 v`
By conservation of momentum, 1.01 v =`2 kg m s^(-1)`
or `v=2/1.01 = 1.98 m s^(-1)`
By conservation of energy
`1/2(M+m)v^2 =(M+m)gh`
or `h=v^2/(2g)=((1.98)^2)/(2xx10)=0.196 ~=0.2` m

A pump is used to fill a tank 6m × 3m × 2m in half an hour. If the average height to which water to be lifted from the well is 110m, find the horsepower of the engine.

Answer»

Volume of the tank = 6 × 3 × 2 = 36m3

∴ mass of water to be lifted

= V × d = 36 × 103 kg

∴ Work done = mg × h

= 36 × 103 × 9.8 × 110

Power of the pump = \(\frac{w}{t}\)

= \(\frac{36 \times 9.8\times1.1 \times 10^5}{30 \times60}\)= 0.216 × 105W

=\(\frac{0.216\times 10^5}{30 \times746}\)\(\frac{21600}{746}\)

The kinetic friction force acting on a sliding body moving in a straight line is constant, but it is non-conservative. Explain.

Answer» Kinetic friction depends on the velocity as it opposes the relative sliding. When the block slide towards right, let it experience, a kinetic friction f towards left at a point P. When it retraces its path, at the same point P, it experience as kinetic friction of same magnitude f but in opposite direction. Hence, work done by friction in to and fro journey will not cancel each other. As friction opposes the displacement, always the total work performed by it is non-zero. It means, the total frictional work done in a closed path depends upon the length of the path. Hence it is non-conservative force. The total work done by kinetic friction acting on two contacting surface is negative. However, the total work done by kinetic friction between two surfaces in contact does not depend on the reference frame.

An athlete jumping vertically on a trampoline leaveles the surface with a velocity of `8.5 m//s` upwards. What maximum height does the reach?A. `10 m`B. `2.5 m`C. `5.0 m`D. `0.50 m`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Once the athlete leves the surface the tranpoline , only a conservative force (het weight) acts on her .Therefore the , mmechanical energy of the athlete - earth system is constent during her flight `k_(f) +U_(f) = k_(i) +U_(i))` .Taking the `y = 0` at the surface of the tranpoline.`U_(i) = mgv_(i)= 0` .Also , her speed when she rwaches maximum height ,zero , or `k_(f) = 0` This levels as with `U_(f) = k_(i)`, or` mgv_(max) = (1)/(2) mv_(i)^(2)` , which gives the maximum height as
`y_(max) = (v_(i)^(2))/(2g)= ((10.0m//s)^(2))/(2(10.0m//s^(2))) = 5.0m`

A spherical ball of mass `m_(1)` colliddes head on with another ball of mass `m_(2)` at rest . The collision is elastic . The fraction of kintic energy lost by `m_(1)` is `:`A. `(4m_1m_2)/((m_1+m_2)^2)`B. `m_1/(m_1+m_2)`C. `m_2/(m_1+m_2)`D. `(m_1m_2)/((m_1+m_2)^2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
According to momentum conservation, we get `m_1v_(1i)=m_1v_(1f)+m_2v_(2f)`…(i)
where `v_(1i)` is the initial velocity of spherical ball of mass `m_1` before collision and `v_(1f)` and `v_(2f)` are the final velocities of the balls of masses `m_1 and m_2` after collision.
According to kinetic energy conservation, we get
`1/2m_1v_(1i)^(2)=1/2m_1v_(1f)^(2)+1/2m_2v_(2f)^(2)`
`m_1v_(1i)^(2)=m_1v_(1f)^(2)+m_2v_(2f)^(2)` ...(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii) , it follows that
`m_1v_(1i)(v_(2f)-v_(1i))=m_1v_(1f)(v_(2f)-v_(1f))`
or `v_(2f)(v_(1i)-v_(1f))=v_(1i)^2-v_(1f)^2=(v_(1i)-v_(1f))(v_(1i)+v_(1f))`
`therefore v_(2f)=v_(1i)+v_(1f)`
Substituting this in Eq.(i), we get
`v_(1f)=((m_1-m_2))/(m_1+m_2)v_(1i)`...(iii)
The initial kinetic energy of the mass `m_1` is
`K_(1i)=1/2m_1v_(1i)^2`
The final kinetic energy of the mass `m_1` is
`K_(1f)=1/2m_1v_(1f)^2=1/2m_1((m_1-m_2)/(m_1+m_2))^2 v_(1i)^2`(Using (iii))
The fraction of kinetic energy lost by `m_1` is
`f=(K_(1i)-K_(1f))/K_(1i)=(1/2m_1v_(1i)^2 -1/2m_1((m_1-m_2)/(m_1+m_2))^2 v_(1i)^2)/(1/2m_1v_(1i)^2)`
`=1-((m_1+m_2)/(m_1+m_2))^2=(4m_1m_2)/((m_1+m_2)^2)`

Select the correct option(s).A. (a) A single external force acting on a particle necessarily changes its momentum and kinetic energy.B. (b) A single external force acting on a particle necessarily changes its momentum.C. (c) The work-energy theorem is valid for all types of forces: internal, external, conservative as well as non-conservative.D. (d) The kinetic energy of the system can be increased without applying any external force on the system.

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C::D
Single force on a particle may change the magnitude and or direction of velocity, so momentum changes necessarily but kinetic energy may or may not change.
From work-energy theorem,
`DeltaK=W_(ext)+W_(i nt)+W_(conservative) +W_(NC)`
Kinetic energy can be increased due to work done by internal forces also.

An object of mass `m` is tied to a string of length `l` and a variable force F is applied on it which brings the string gradually at angle thit `theta` with the vertical. Find the work done by the force `F` .

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C
In this case, three forces are acting on the object:
1. tension (T)
2. weight (mg) and
3. applied force (F)
Using work-enegy theorem.
`W _ (n et)=DeltaKE`
or `W_(T) + W_(mg) + W_(F)=0` ...(i)
as `DeltaKE=0`
because `K_(i) = K_(f) = 0`
Further, `W_T=0,` . as tension is always perpendicular to displacement.
`W_(mg) =-mgh`
or `w_(mg)=-mgl(1-costheta)`
Substituting these values in Eq. (i), we get
`W_(F) = mgl(1-costheta)`.

A force `F = -K(y hatI + x hatj) (where `K` is a posive constant ) acts on a particle moving in the `xy` plane . Starting form the original , the partical is taken along in the positive `x` axis to the point `(x,0)` and then partical to they axis the point `(x,0)` . The total work done by the force `F` on the particls isA. `- 2 Ka^(2)`B. ` 2 Ka^(2)`C. `- Ka^(2)`D. `Ka^(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
While moving from `(0.0)` to `(a.0)`
Along positive x-axis , `y = 0 :. vecF = - kx hatj`
i.e. , force is in negative y-direction while dicplacement is in positive direction.
`:. W_(1) = 0`
Because force is perpendicular to displacement .
Then partical moves from `(a.0)` to `(a.a)` during this
`vec F = - k(y hati + a hatj)`
The first componenet of force, `- ky hatj` will not contribitute any work because this component is along negative x- direction `(- hati)` while displacement is in positive y- direction `(a.0)` to `(a.a)` . The second component of force i.e. `- ka hatj` will perform negative work
`:. W_(2) = (- ka hatj) (a hatj) = (-ka) (a) = - ka^(2)`
So net work done on the partical `W = W_(1) + W_(2)`
`= 0 + (-ka^(2)) = - ka^(2)`

if a number of force act on a body and the body is in state or dynamic force equalibrium , then .A. work done by any individual force mucst be zeroB. Net work done by all the force is `+ve`C. Net work done by all the force is `-ve`D. Net work done by all the force is zero

Answer» Correct Answer - D
When a number of force act on a body and the body is in state or dymanic equilibrium (it mean `F_(max) = 0)`, then individual force may do the work , but net work done by all the force will be zero
[Note, In such a situation, work done by some forces is positive while by others is equally negative, so that net work becomes zero.]`.

Does the work done in moving a body depend on how fast or how slow the body is moved?

Answer» No, time is not involved, in work or energy. Time is involved only in power.
