Q. 301  Explain RADAR.
A. 19.6 m/s.
B. any speed less than 19.6 m/s.
C. more than 19.6 m/s.
D.  9.8 m/s.

Right Answer is:

SOLUTION

RADAR stands for radio detection and ranging. Radar is a device to detect the position of aero plane in the sky. Radar works on the principle of reflection of waves called echo. Radio waves are transmitted in all direction and when they hit the target or aero plane, the waves are reflected back. The reflected waves are received by antenna of receiver.  Time gap between the transmission and reception of waves is noted and then by using the formula S = V(T/2) distance of aero plane can be measured.

Q. 304 What are errors? Explain two types of errors?
A. 19.6 m/s.
B. any speed less than 19.6 m/s.
C. more than 19.6 m/s.
D.  9.8 m/s.

Right Answer is:

SOLUTION

The difference in the true and observed value of any physical quantity is called errors.e.g the velocity of sound in air is 332 m/s. After experiment the value of velocity is found to be 331.3m/s so the difference in the two is called error. The two types of errors are random error and gross error. Random error occurs by chance, its cause is not known. It can be minimized by taking large number of readings and then mean of them. Gross error occurs due to the carelessness of the observer.

 As slope is highest at C, so instantaneous velocity
 = ds/dt = max at C.


Q. 364  A ball thrown up is caught by the thrower 8s after start. The height to which the ball has risen is (assuming = 10 m/s2)


A.  8 m.

B.  10 m.

C.  80 m.

D.  90 m.

Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

As the time of ascent (t1) = time of descent (t2); therefore, as per question,
     t1 + t2 = 8
or, t2 + t2 = 8s
or, t2 = 4s Taking vertical downward motion of the ball from the highest point to the surface of the earth, we have
u =0; a = 10 m/s2; t= 4s, S=?
From the 2nd equation of kinematics,
     S = ut + ½ at2
or, S = 0 + ½ x 10 x 42
        = 80m.


Q. 365  Acceleration is


A.  a dimensionless quantity.

B.  time independent.

C.  a vector quantity.

D.  a scalar quantity.

Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

Acceleration is defined as the ratio of change in velocity and the corresponding time taken by the object. So, acceleration has magnitude as well as direction like velocity.


Q. 366 In the unit of acceleration, the unit of time appears


A. once.

B. twice.

C. thrice.

D. quadrupled.

Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is the rate of displacement. Hence, time occurs twice in its unit, i.e., metre per second per second.


Q. 367 The distance covered by a freely falling body during the first second of its motion is


A. 4.9 m.

SOLUTION

From the 2nd equation of kinematics
        s = ut + ½ at2
 acceleration, a=g = 9.8 m/s2
 Distance covered,
        s = ½ gt2 = ½ x 9.8 x (1)2 = 4.9 m.


Q. 368 A body starts from rest and slides down an inclined plane (assume to be frictionless) of length 15 m in 15 s. Its speed at the bottom of the plane is


A. 1 m/s.

B. 2 m/s.

C. 3 m/s.

D. 5 m/s.

Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION


 u= 0; s = 15 m; t= 15s; a=? ; v=?
 From the 2nd equation of kinematics
        s = ut + ½ at2
 or, 15 = 0 + (½ x a x 152)
 or,   a = (2/15) m/s2
 From the 1st equation of kinematics
      v = u + at
 or, v = 0 + [2/15] x 15= 2 m/s.

Q. 370 A jet plane is moving with a velocity of 800 km/hr. The gases are ejecting from rear of jet plane with velocity of 1600 km/hr with respect to jet. Find the velocity of gases w.r.t a person on ground.
A. 1 m/s.
B. 2 m/s.
C. 3 m/s.
D. 5 m/s.

Right Answer is:

SOLUTION

Consider the directions as according to origin. +ve towards +X axis and negative towards –ve X axis. Jet plane and gases moves in opposite direction. Velocity of jet plane Vg = 60 km/hr with respect to +x-axis

 Vgp = Vgj – Vpj   ( Vgj=vel of gas w.r.t to jet, Vjp=vel of jet w.r.t person )

 Vgp= Vgj+  Vjp

Vgp= 800km/hr(-i)+1600km/hr(i)

     =  1600-800

    =    800km/hr

So, this will be velocity of gases w.r.t person standing on ground.


Q. 371 A particle is moving along X axis the position is given by                                                 x = K + jt2 where K = 8m and j = 4 m/s2 t is time.  Find velocity of particle at t = 0, t= 3 sec.
A. 1 m/s.
B. 2 m/s.
C. 3 m/s.
D. 5 m/s.

Right Answer is:

SOLUTION

 X = k + Jt2

K = 8m, j = 4 m/s2

X = 8 + 4t2

 To get velocity differenciate both sides v =   =  (8 + 4t2)

 v  4 x 2 t  = 8t

 so  = v = velocity

when t = 0, v = 0

when t = 3 sec.  v = 8 X 3

= 24 m/s.

Q. 374 Two trains A and B of length 600m each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of 60km/hr. in same direction with A ahead of B. B accelerates with 1m/s2 to overtake
A. If after 50sec. the guard of B just brushes past the driver of A, what was the original distance between them?
Right Answer is:

SOLUTION

          uA = 60 km/hr  =  60  ( 5/18 ) m/s = ( 50/3 ) m/s

           S1 = ( 50/3 )  50  = ( 2500/3 ) m

          uB = 60 km/hr = 60  ( 5/18 ) m/s = ( 50/3 ) m/s

          a = 1 m/ s2    t = 50Sec.

          S = ut + ( 1/2 ) at 2

                = ( 50/3 )   50 +  ( 1/2 )  1  50 50

                = ( 6250/3 )  m.   

          The original distance was

                 ( 6250/3 ) - ( 2500/3 ) = ( 3750/3 ) = 1250 m

       


Q. 375 A body is moved from rest along a straight line by a machine delivering constant power. How is the distance moved by the body is related to time?

D. 5 m/s.

Right Answer is:

SOLUTION


Q. 376 Define relative velocity. Explain its concept in detail.
A. 1 m/s.
B. 2 m/s.
C. 3 m/s.
D. 5 m/s.

Right Answer is:

SOLUTION

Relative velocity of an object A with respect to another object B is the comparison of their velocities. It can also be understood by time rate at which object A changes its positions w.r.t B. Consider two objects A and B moving with velocities V1 and V2  

Displacement of A at t = 0, x01

Displacement of B at t = 0, x02      

 

  

 If X1 and X 2 is the displacement of A and B after time t.

displacement of A in time t 
( X1 – X01) = V1 T             -  (1)

displacement of B in time t

 ( X2 – X02) = V2 t             -  (2)    

Subtract (1)  from (2)

( X2 – X1)  = (X02 + X10)  +(V2 – V1) t  

Let X2 – X1  =  X and X0 = (X02 + X01)

X = X0 + (V2 – V1) t  

Relative velocity of B w.r.t A is

VBA = V2 – V1

When the two velocities are equal V2 = V1 
V2 – V1  = 0

X = X0
The two bodies will remain at constant distance from each other. This can be shown by the graph (1)

                               

         
When two bodies move with unequal velocity the graph will be (2)

In general , we can write

Vab= Va- Vb

If they are moving with respect to a third quantity, then

Vab= Vac- Vbc

Q. 381 Two balls are thrown simultaneously one vertically upwards with speed of 20m/s from the ground and other vertically downwards from height of 40m with same speed and in same line of motion. Determine the point where they will collide.
A. 1 m/s.
B. 2 m/s.
C. 3 m/s.
D. 5 m/s.

Right Answer is:

SOLUTION

Suppose two balls meet at height 'X' above ground after time t sec. from start. 
For upward motion,
u = 20m/s, g= - 9.8m/s2
From 2nd equation of kinematics,
   s = ut +  1/2at2                           
X = 20t - 1/2(9.8 t2)
or,X = 20t – 4.9 t2...........(1)  
For downward motion:           
40 - X = 20t + 4.9 t2..........(2)          
Adding equ (1) & (2) , we get,           
40t = 40, 
t = 1 sec.          
From equ(1)
   X = 20 – 4.9          
or,X = 15.1m.          
Both balls collide after 1 sec at height 15.1 above the ground.


Q. 382 Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below.
Assertion: A particle is moving in a circular path in a clockwise direction. Then angular velocity will be perpendicular to the linear velocity and angular acceleration.
Reason: The angular velocity will act in a downward direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation.


A. Assertion is true but reason is false.

B. Assertion and reason both are false.

C. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

D. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

According to right-hand thumb rule if fingers point in the direction of rotation then thumb represents the angular velocity vector. Here, the particle is moving in the clockwise direction so angular velocity will act in a downward direction perpendicular to the rotational plane. As in circular motion centripetal acceleration acts towards centre and perpendicular to velocity vector acting in the tangential direction. Both velocity and acceleration are acting in the plane of rotation. So, angular velocity will be perpendicular to both linear velocities as well as centripetal acceleration.


Q. 383 Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below.
Assertion: When dot product and cross product of any two vectors is zero, then one of the vectors must be null vector.
Reason: A null vector has a zero magnitude.


A. Assertion is true but reason is false.

B. Assertion and reason both are false.

C. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

D. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Right Answer is: D

SOLUTION

Let us assume two vectors a and b and θ is the angle between them. Given, dot product of the vectors is zero, i.e a . b =| a || b |cos θ°= 0 and cross product of vectors is zero, i.e. a × b =| a || b |sin θ° = 0. In this case, if | a |and | b |are not zero, then both sinθ andcosθ must be simultaneously zero.But is not possible so one of the vectorsmust be null vector.

Q. 385 Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below.
Assertion: A man holds the water hose at 45° so that he can wet the more area of the lawn.
Reason: The water stream will get the greatest range when launched at an angle of 45°.


A. Assertion is true but reason is false.

B. Assertion and reason both are false.

C. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

D. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

In the absence of air resistance, the only force acting on the water stream is the force due to gravity, due to which the water stream follows the parabolic path. The water stream will wet the maximum area when it reaches the maximum distance or range. The range in projectile motion is given by the formula, R= v 2 sin g Given, angle θ = 45°. R max = v 2 sin2( 45 ° ) g = v 2 g MathType@MTEF@5@5@+=feaaguart1ev2aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLnhiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq=Jc9vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0=yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr=xfr=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@7176@ Thus, the water stream will reach maximum area when launched at 45°.


Q. 386 Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below.
Assertion: The speedometer needle represents the radial acceleration of the body.
Reason: The radial acceleration is a measure of the rate of change in the magnitude of the velocity vector, whereas the tangential acceleration is a measure of the rate of change of the direction of the velocity vector.


A. Assertion is true but reason is false.

B. Assertion and reason both are false.

C. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

D. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION

The tangential acceleration is the measure of the rate of change in the magnitude of the velocity vector, thus, always coincides with the speed, and directed along with the tangent drawn at any point on trajectory. The normal acceleration is a measure of the rate of change of the direction of the velocity vector and is directed perpendicular to the tangential acceleration in the direction of the concavity of the curve.


Q. 387 Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below.
Assertion: When a ball is dropped from the train moving at a constant speed, for a person standing on the ground, the path of the ball is parabola however the motion appears straight line to the person on the train.
Reason: The path of the ball is a straight line as seen from the moving train because both ball and train are moving at the same speed. But, with respect to ground, the path of the ball is parabola as the vertical velocity of the ball changes with time.


A. Assertion is true but reason is false.

B. Assertion and reason both are false.

C. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

D. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

The path of the ball depends upon the position of the observer. For an observer inside the train, the path of the ball is vertically downward, as the horizontal velocity of the ball and the train are the same. But, when this is observed from the ground, the path of the ball is a parabola because the vertical velocity of the ball is influenced by the acceleration due to gravity.


Q. 388 Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below.
Assertion: The resultant of three vectors cannot be zero if they are coplanar.
Reason: The three unequal vectors should form a polygon to give zero resultant vector.


A. Assertion is true but reason is false.

B.

 Assertion and reason both are false.

C. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

D. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION

For getting a zero-resultant vector, the three vectors can be arranged in a polygon. If three vectors are coplanar then their resultant vector can be zero, that is when the resultant of two of them is equal in magnitude and opposite to the direction of the third vector.
