300 J of work is done in sliding a 2 kg block up an inclined plane of height 10 m. Taking =10 m/s2, work done against friction is

  • 200 J

  • 100 J

  • Zero

  • 1000 J

Solution

B.

100 J

Net work done in sliding a body up to a height h on inclined plane
    = Work done against gravitational force + Work done against frictional force

A 0.5 kg ball moving with a speed of 12 m/s strikes a hard wall at an angle of 30° with the wall. It is reflected with the same speed and at the same angle. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.25 s, the average force acting on the wall is
WiredFaculty

  • 48 N

  • 24 N

  • 12 N

  • 96 N

Solution

B.

24 N

The vector OA with rightwards arrow on top represents the momentum of the object before the collision, and the vector OB with rightwards arrow on top that after the collision. The vector AB with rightwards arrow on top represents the change in momentum of the object increment straight P with rightwards arrow on top.
WiredFaculty

As the magnitudes of  OA with rightwards arrow on top space and space OB with rightwards arrow on top are equal, the components of OA with rightwards arrow on top space and space OB with rightwards arrow on top along the wall are equal and in the same direction, while those perpendicular to the wall are equal and opposite. Thus, the change in momentum is due only to the change in direction of the perpendicular components.
Hence,  increment straight p space equals space OB space sin space 30 degree space minus space left parenthesis negative OA space sin space 30 degree right parenthesis

Its time rate will appear in the form of average force acting on the wall.

A block A of mass m1 rests on a horizontal table. A light string connected to it passes over a frictionless pulley at the edge of the table and from its other end, another block B of mass m2 is suspended. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is straight mu subscript straight k. When the block A is sliding on the table, the tension in the string is

  • fraction numerator left parenthesis straight m subscript 2 minus straight mu subscript straight k straight m subscript 1 right parenthesis straight g over denominator left parenthesis straight m subscript 1 plus straight m subscript 2 right parenthesis end fraction
  • fraction numerator straight m subscript 1 straight m subscript 2 left parenthesis 1 plus straight mu subscript straight k right parenthesis straight g over denominator left parenthesis straight m subscript 1 plus straight m subscript 2 right parenthesis end fraction
  • fraction numerator straight m subscript 1 straight m subscript 2 left parenthesis 1 minus straight mu subscript straight k right parenthesis straight g over denominator left parenthesis straight m subscript 1 plus straight m subscript 2 right parenthesis end fraction

Solution

C.

Question
CBSEENPH11020772

A block B is pushed momentarily along a horizontal surface with an initial velocity v. if μ is the coefficient of sliding friction between B  and the surface, block B will come to rest after a time:

WiredFaculty

  • v/gμ

  • gμ/v

  • g/v

  • v/g

Solution

A.

v/gμ

Block B will come to rest, if force applied to it will vanish due to frictional force acting between block B and surface, ie,
force applied = frictional force
i.e., μmg = ma
μmg = m (v/t)
t =v/μg
