The minimum initial velocity at this point so the particle never stops isA. `infty`B. `2 sqrt(gA)`C. `sqrt(2 gA)`D. `4 sqrt(gA)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
If the particle never stops than it may move till `x = infty`
`(1)/(2) mv^(2) = underset(1) overset(infty) int mumgd.dx rArr (V^(2))/(2) = Ag underset(1) overset(infty) int (1)/(x^(2)) dx`
so, `V = sqrt(2gA)`.

A car, moving with a speed of `50 km//hr`, can be stopped by brakes after at least `6 m`. If the same car is moving at a speed of `100 km//hr`, the minimum stopping distance isA. 6 mB. 2 mC. 18 mD. 24 m

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Using work - energy theorem `W_("total") = Delta K` i.e.., work done by stopping forces should be equal to change in the kinetic energy of car.
`-F_("stopping") xx "stopping distance" = (k_("final") - k_("initial"))`
`rArr -F_("stopping") xx s=(0 -(1)/(2)mv_("initial")^(2))`
`rArr F_("stopping") xx s = (1)/(2) mv_("inital")^(2)`
As stopping force is same for both the cars, hence
`s prop v_("initial")^(2)`
`rArr (s_(1))/(s_(2)) = ((v_("initial")^(2))_(1))/((v_("Initial")^(2))_(2))`
or `(6)/(s_(2))=((v_("initial")^(2))_(1))/((v_("initial")^(2))_(2)) = ((50)/(100))^(2) rArr s_(2) = 24 m`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Here, power `P = F.v = (m (dv)/(dt)).v`
`rArr vdv = (P)/(m) dt`
Noe integrating,
`int_(0)^(v) vdv = (P)/(m) int_(0)^(t) dt`
`rArr (v^(2))/(2) = (Pt)/(m)`
or `v = ((2Pt)/(m))^((1)/(2))`
`rArr (dx)/(dt) = ((2P)/(m))^((1)/(2)) t^((1)/(2))`
`rArr dx =((2P)/(m))^((1)/(2))t^((1)/(2)) dt`
Integrating, we get
`underset(0) overset(x) int dx = ((2P)/(m))^((1)/(2)) underset(0) overset(t) int t^((1)/(2)) dt`
or `x = ((2P)/(m))^((1)/(2)) (t^((3)/(2)))/((3)/(2))` or `x prop t^((3)/(2))`.

`dF_(t) = dmg sin theta`
`F_(t)=int_(0)^(pi//4) ((m)/(l) R d theta)g sin theta = (gR)/(l)[1 -cos 45^@)`.

The potential energy of a partical veries with distance `x` as shown in the graph. The force acting on the partical is zero atA. CB. BC. B and CD. A and D

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`F=-(dU)/(dx)=0` at B and C
47.

The potential energy of a force filed `vec(F)` is given by `U(x,y)=sin(x+y)`. The force acting on the particle of mass m at `(0,(pi)/4)` isA. 1B. `sqrt(2)`C. `1/(sqrt(2))`D. 0

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`(delU)/(dely)=cos(x+y).`
`(delU)/(dely)=cos(x+y)`
`vec(F)=-cos(x+y)hati-cos(x+y)hatj`
`=-cos(0+(pi)/4)hati-cos(0+(pi)/4)hatj`
`|vec(F)|=1`

A steel ball of radius `2 cm` is initially at rest. It is struck head on by another stell ball of radius `4 cm` travelling with a velocity of `81 cm//s`. If the collision is elastic their respective final velocities areA. `63 cm//s,144 cm//s`B. `144 cm//s, 63 cm//s`C. `19 cm//s, 100 cm//s`D. `100 cm//s, 19 cm//s`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
As mass, `m = rho(volume) = rho (4)/(3) pi r^(3)`
`m alpha r^(3)` so, `v_(1)=((r_(1)^(3) -r_(2)^(3))/(r_(1)^(3)+r_(2)^(3))) u_(1)` and `v_(2) = (2 r_(1)^(3) u_(1))/(r_(1)^(3) + r_(2)^(3))`.

A body starts from rest and is acted on by a constant force. The ratio of kinetic energy gained by it in the first five seconds to that gained in the next five seconds isA. `2 : 1`B. `1 : 1`C. `3 : 1`D. `1 : 3`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`KE = (1)/(2) mv^(2) = (1)/(2) m(g t)^(2) (because v = g t)`
`(K_(1))/(K_(o)) = (t_(1)^(2))/(t_(2)^(2) -t_(1)^(2))` where `t_(1) = 5 sec` and `t_(2) = 10 sec`.

Two stones of masses `m` and `2 m` are projected vertically upwards so as to reach the same height. The ratio of the kinetic energies of their projection isA. `2 : 1`B. `1 : 2`C. `4 : 1`D. `1 : 4`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`KE = (1)/(2) mv^(2)`, when two bodies reach the same height, `v_(1) = v_(2) , (KE_(1))/(KE_(2)) = (m_(1))/(m_(2)) (because v = sqrt(2 gh))`.
