Laws of Motion

  • Question 569
    CBSEENPH11024910

    Action and reaction forces do not balance each other why?

    Solution

    They do not balance each other as the action and reaction forces acts on two different bodies.

    Question 570
    CBSEENPH11026112

    A cone filled with water is revolved in a vertical circle of radius 4 m and the water does not fall down. What must be the maximum period of revolution?

    • 2 s

    • 4 s

    • 1 s

    • 6 s

    Solution

    B.

    4 s

    When a cone filled with water is revolved in a vertical circle, then the velocity at the highest point is given by

    ν g ralso ν = rω =r2πTHence, 2πrTr gT2πrr g=2πrg=2π49.8=2×3.14×0.6389=4.0 secso Tmax =4 sec

    Question 571
    CBSEENPH11026130

    Which is true for rolling frictrion   μr , static friction μs  and  kinetic friction  μk :

    • μs > μk >  μr

    • μs <  μk <  μr

    • μs <  μk >  μr

    • μs > μr  > μk

    Solution

    A.

    μs > μk >  μr

    Static friction is a force that keeps an object at rest. It must be overcome to start moving the object. When external force exceeds the maximum limit of static friction body begins to move.
     
    Once the body is in motion it is subjected to sliding or kinetic friction which opposes relative motion between the two surfaces in contact. At every instant, there is just one point of contact
    between the body and the plane and this point has no motion relative to the plane. In this ideal situation, kinetic or static friction is zero and the body should continue to roll with constant velocity. 
    In practice, this will not happen and some resistance to motion (rolling friction) does occur, i.e. to keep the body rolling. Static friction is always greater than kinetic friction and rolling friction is less than kinetic friction.

    Question 572
    CBSEENPH11026131

    Two weights w1 and w2 are suspended to the two strings on a frictionless pulley. When the pulley is pulled up with an acceleration g, then the tension in the string is :

    • 4 w1w2w1 + w2

    • w1w2w1 + w2

    • 2 w1 w2w1 w2

    • w1 + w22

    Solution

    A.

    4 w1w2w1 + w2

    Equation of motion for first weight

    This is a frictionless and inextensible pulley.

    for first weight

    T - m1g = m1 ( a - g)

    ⇒ T - 2m1 g = m1a

    For second weight 

    m2g -T = m2 ( a - g)

    2 mg - T = m2 a

    on solving equations (1) & (2)

    T =4 m1 m2m1 + m2T = 4 m1 m2w1 + w2
