CBSEENPH11026153

A bomb of mass 30 kg at rest explodes into two pieces of masses 18 kg and 12 kg. The velocity of 18 kg mass is 6 ms'.The kinetic energy of the other mass is

  • 256 J

  • 486 J

  • 524 J

  • 324 J

Solution

B.

486 J

The linear momentum of the exploding part will remain conserved.

Applying coservation of linear momentum,

m1 u1 =m2 u2

Here, m1 = 18kg, m2 = 12kg

u1 = 6ms-1, u2 = ?

u2 = 18×612 9 ms-1

Thus kinetic energy of 12 kg mass

K2 =12m1u22       = 12×12×92       = 6× 81K2   = 486 J

 A drum of radius R and mass M, rolls down without slipping along an inclined plane of angle θ. The frictional force

  • converts translational energy to rotational energy

  • dissipates energy as heat

  • decreases the rotational motion

  • decreases the rotational and translational motion

Solution

A.

converts translational energy to rotational energy

When a body rolls down without slipping along an inclined plane of inclination θ, it rotates about a horizontal axis through its centre of mass and also its centre of mass moves. Therefore, rolling motion may be regarded as a rotational motion about an axis through its centre of mass plus a translational motion of the centre of mass. As it rolls down, it suffers loss in gravitational potential energy provided translational energy due to frictional force is converted into rotational energy.

Imagine a new planet having the same density as that of earth but it is 3 times bigger than the earth in size. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is g and that on the surface of the new planet is g', then

  • g' = 3g

  • g' = g9

  • g' = 9g

  • g' = 27g

Solution

A.

g' = 3g

The acceleration due to gravity on the planet can be found using the relation

g = GMR2but M = 43πR3ρ ρ- densityg = G × 43πR3ρR2g = G × 43πRρ

⇒ g ∝ R

 g'R  =  R'R g'g =  3RR g'g =  3 g'  =  3g

If a vector  2 i^ + 3 j^ + 8 k^  is perpendicular to the vector 4 j^ - 4 i^ + α k^, then the value of α is

  • -1

  • 12

  • -12

  • 1

Solution

C.

-12

Two vectors must be perpendicular if their dot product is zero.

let a = 2i^ + 3j^ +8 k^b = 4 j^ - 4 i^ + αk^     = -4i^ + 4j^ + αk^According to the above hypothesis a  b a . b = 0 2i ^ + 3j^ + 8k^ . -4i^ + 4j^ + αk^ = 0 -8 + 12 +8α = 0 8α = -4α =-48 = -12 

a . b = ab cosθ. Here a and b are always positive as they are the magnitudes as a and b.

Question
CBSEENPH11026163

A force F acting on an object varies with distance x as shown here. The force is in newton and distance is in metre. The work done by the force in moving the object from x = 0 to x = 6 m is

  • 4.5 J

  • 13.5 J

  • 9.0

  • 18.0 J

Solution

B.

13.5 J

The work done will be the area of the F-x graph. Work done in moving the object from x = O to x = 6 m is given by

 

W = area of rectangle + area of triangle

    = 3 × 3 +12 × 3 × 3

W   = 9 + 4.5 = 13.5 J
