For inelastic collision between two spherical rigid bodies

  • the total kinetic energy is conserved

  • the total mechanical energy is not conserved

  • the linear momentum is not conserved

  • the linear momentum is conserved

Solution

D.

the linear momentum is conserved

In an inelastic collision, the particles do not regain their shape and size completely after collision. Some fraction of mechanical energy is retained by the colliding particles in the form of deformation potential energy. Thus, the kinetic energy of particles no longer remains conserved. However in the absence of external forces, law of conservation of linear momentum still holds good.

For a satellite moving in an orbit around the earth, the ratio of kinetic energy to potential energy is

  • 2

  • 12

  • 12

  • 2

Solution

B.

12

Given:- Kinetic energy of satellite is half of its potential energy. 
Potential energy of satelite

           U = GMemRe

Kinetic energy of satellite

          K = 12GMe mRe

Thus

    KU = 12GMe mRe × ReGMe m KU = 12

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

  • 200J

  • 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

⇒             W = Wg  +  Wf

                W = 300 J 

   but ,      Wg = mgh = 2 × 10 × 10

                      = 200 J

  Putting in Eq. (i), we get
                300 = 200 + Wf

⇒               Wf = 300 - 200

                  Wf = 100 J

Question
CBSEENPH11026198

A particle moves along a straight line OX. At a time t (in second) the distance x ( in metre ) of the particle from O is given by x = 40 + 12 t - t3 . How long would the particle travel before coming to rest?

  • 24 m

  • 40 m

  • 56 m

  • 16 m

Solution

C.

56 m

Speed is rate of change of distance.

Distance travelled by the particle is

               x = 40 + 12 t - t3

We know the speed is rate of change of distance

       i.e       ν = dxdt

                  ν = ddt40 + 12t - t3

                     = 0 + 12 - 3t2

but final velocity ν = 0

∴               12 - 3t2 = 0

⇒               t2 = 123   t2 = 4

 ⇒              t = 2s

Hence, distance travelled by the particle before coming to rest is given by
             x = 40 + 12(2)-(2)3

             x = 64 - 8

              x = 56 m

Question
CBSEENPH11026201

A small disc of radius 2 cm is cut from a disc of radius 6 cm. If the distance between their centres is 3.2 cm, what is the shift in the centre of mass of the disc?

  • 0.4 cm

  • 2.4 cm

  • 1.8 cm

  • 1.2 cm

Solution

A.

0.4 cm

The situation can be shown as: Let radius of complete disc is a and that of small disc is b. Also let centre of mass now shifts to 02 at a distance X2 from original centre

                       

The position of new centre of mass is given by

                      XCM = -σ. πb2. x1σ.π a2 - σ.π b2

Here, a = 6 cm, b = 2 cm, x1 = 3.2 cm

  XCM = -σ × π 22 ×3.2σ × π ×62 - σ ×π ×22                = 12.832π

⇒    XCM = 0.4 cm
