Question
CBSEENPH11026412

A man is at a distance of  6 m from a bus. The bus begins to move with a constant acceleration of 3ms.In order to catch the bus, the minimum speed with which the man should run towards the bus is

  • 2 m s-1

  • 4 m s-1

  • 6 m s-1

  • 8 m s-1

Solution

C.

6 m s-1

If the man did not run, the bus would be at a distance s1 at time t given by

   s1 = 6 + 12α t2

       = 6 + 12 × 3 × t2

   s1 = 6 + 32t2

If v is the speed of man, he would cover a distance s2 = vt in time t.

To catch the bus,

           s1 = s2

     6 + 32 t2 = v t

⇒     t2 - 2 v3t + 4 = 0

which gives

         t = 2 v6 ±  4 v29 - 16 12  

Now t will be real if  4 v29 - 16 is positive or zero.

Minimum v corresponds to 4 v216 - 16 = 0 which gives v = 6 m s-1

Question

If  A and B are non-zero vectors which obey the relation   A + B  =  A - B , then the angle between them is

  • 0o

  • 60o

  • 90o

  • 120o

Solution

C.

90o

      A + B = A - B

⇒ A2 + B2 + 2 A B cosθ = A2 + B2 - 2 A B cosθ   

⇒        cosθ = 0

⇒           θ = 90o

Time period of pendulum, on a satellite orbiting the earth, is

  • 1π

  • zero

  • π

  • infinity

Solution

D.

infinity

On an artificial satellite orbiting the earth the acceleration is given by GMR2 towards the centre of the earth.

Now for a body of mass m on the satellite the graviational force due to earth is  G MmR2 towards the centre of the earth.

Let the reaction force on the surface of the satellite be N, then

          G MmR2 - N = m G MR2

⇒           N = 0

That is on the satellite there is a state of weightlessness or  g = 0

           T = 2 π lg = ∞

Hence     T = ∞

Question
CBSEENPH11026418

A gun of mass 10 kg fires 4 bullets per second. The mass of each bullet is 20 g and the velocity of the bullet when it leaves the gun is 300 m s-1. The force required to hold the gun when firing is

  • 6 N

  • 8 N

  • 24 N

  • 240 N

Solution

C.

24 N

Momentum of one bullet

             p = mv

                 = 20 × 10-3 × 300 

             p = 6 kg m s-1

N = number of bullet per sec = 4

∴   dpdt  = change of momentum per sec or force

            = N ( p - 0 )

     dpdt = 4 × 6

       dpdt = 24 N

Question
CBSEENPH11026420

A stone of mass 0.3 kg attached to a 1.5 m long string is whirled around in a horizontal circle at a speed of 6 m s-1 The tension in the string is

  • 10 N

  • 20 N

  • 7.2 N

  • 30 N

Solution

C.

7.2 N

Here,    mass of the stone m = 0.3 kg

           Length of a string = 1.5 m 

                        Speed v = 6 m/s

               T = mv2R

Where R is the length of the string.

                   = 0.3 621.5

             T = 7.2 N
