=8002[(0.15)2(0.05)2]= {{800} \over 2}\left[ {{{\left( {0.15} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {0.05} \right)}^2}} \right]
=8J= 8\,J
Q64
Four particles A,B,C,DA, B, C, D of mass m2,m,2m,4m\dfrac{m}{2}, m, 2 m, 4 m, have same momentum, respectively. The particle with maximum kinetic energy is :
A B
B C
C D
D A
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

The momentum pp of a particle is given by the product of its mass mm and its velocity vv, that is, p=mvp = m \cdot v.

For a given momentum, the relationship between mass and velocity can be understood as inversely proportional.

This means that as the mass increases, the velocity decreases to maintain the same momentum, and vice versa.

The kinetic energy (K.E.K.E.) of a particle is given by the formula K.E.=12mv2K.E. = \dfrac{1}{2} m v^2.

This equation shows that the kinetic energy depends on both the mass of the particle and the square of its velocity.

Given that four particles A,B,C,DA, B, C, D have masses m2,m,2m,4m\dfrac{m}{2}, m, 2 m, 4 m, respectively, and all have the same momentum, we can assume the momentum of each particle to be pp.

This common value of momentum allows us to express the velocity of each particle in terms of its mass and the common momentum pp.

The velocity vv of each particle will be v=pmv = \dfrac{p}{m}.

Thus, for each particle, we can determine the velocity as follows: For AA: vA=pm2=2pmv_A = \dfrac{p}{\dfrac{m}{2}} = \dfrac{2p}{m} For BB: vB=pmv_B = \dfrac{p}{m} For CC: vC=p2m=p2mv_C = \dfrac{p}{2m} = \dfrac{p}{2m} For DD: vD=p4mv_D = \dfrac{p}{4m} Now, substituting these velocities into the kinetic energy formula yields the kinetic energies for each particle: K.E.A=12m2(2pm)2=12m24p2m2=2p2mK.E._A = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot \dfrac{m}{2} \cdot \left(\dfrac{2p}{m}\right)^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot \dfrac{m}{2} \cdot \dfrac{4p^2}{m^2} = \dfrac{2p^2}{m} K.E.B=12m(pm)2=12mp2m2=p22mK.E._B = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot \left(\dfrac{p}{m}\right)^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot \dfrac{p^2}{m^2} = \dfrac{p^2}{2m} K.E.C=122m(p2m)2=122mp24m2=p24mK.E._C = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 2m \cdot \left(\dfrac{p}{2m}\right)^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 2m \cdot \dfrac{p^2}{4m^2} = \dfrac{p^2}{4m} K.E.D=124m(p4m)2=124mp216m2=p28mK.E._D = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 4m \cdot \left(\dfrac{p}{4m}\right)^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 4m \cdot \dfrac{p^2}{16m^2} = \dfrac{p^2}{8m} Comparing these kinetic energies, we see that the particle AA has the maximum kinetic energy, as it is inversely related to mass in this scenario, and AA has the least mass but the highest velocity squared component, thus maximizing its kinetic energy.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option D: A

Q65

A K/2
B K
C Zero
D K/4
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Let

uu

be the velocity with which the particle is thrown and

mm

be the mass of the particle. Then

KE=12mu2....(1)KE = {1 \over 2}m{u^2}.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( 1 \right)

At the highest point the velocity is

uu
cos60\cos \,{60^ \circ }

(only the horizontal component remains, the vertical component being zero at the top-most point).

Therefore kinetic energy at the highest point,

(KE)H=12mu2cos260{\left( {KE} \right)_H} = {1 \over 2}m{u^2}{\cos ^2}60^\circ
=K4\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {K \over 4}

Q67
A body is moving unidirectionally under the influence of a constant power source. Its displacement in time t is proportional to :
A t2/3
B t3/2
C t
D t2
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

When a body moves under the influence of a constant power, the relationship between displacement and time can be established through the concept of power.

Power (P) is defined as the rate at which work is done, and it can also be expressed in terms of force (F) and velocity (v) as P=Fv P = F \cdot v .

For a constant power P and assuming the force acts in the direction of the velocity, we can analyze how displacement (s) changes with time (t).

Since force can also be written as F=d(mv)dt F = \dfrac{d(mv)}{dt} for a constant mass m, this simplifies to F=mdvdt F = m \dfrac{dv}{dt} , because mass doesn't change with time for most cases.

Integrating force over a distance gives work (W), and power is the rate of doing work, thus we can connect these concepts.

The kinetic energy (K.E) of the body is given by K.E=12mv2 K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 , and the work done by the force is equal to the change in kinetic energy.

Considering power is constant, P=dWdt=d(12mv2)dt P = \dfrac{dW}{dt} = \dfrac{d(\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2)}{dt} .

Rearranging terms to focus on velocity and integrating with respect to time will give us a relation involving velocity and time.

For a constant mass system, and using P=Fv=mav=mdvdtv P = F \cdot v = m \cdot a \cdot v = m \cdot \dfrac{dv}{dt} \cdot v , and knowing that P=constant P = \text{constant} , we rearrange to find the relationship between velocity and time.

Given P=mvdvdt P = m \cdot v \cdot \dfrac{dv}{dt} , we rearrange to Pmdt=vdv \dfrac{P}{m} dt = v dv .

Integrating both sides where the initial condition is when t=0,v=0 t = 0, v = 0 , we get Pmt=12v2 \dfrac{P}{m} t = \dfrac{1}{2} v^2 , solving for v v gives vt1/2 v \propto t^{1/2} , so v=kt1/2 v = k \cdot t^{1/2} for some constant k k .

The displacement s s is obtained by integrating the velocity with respect to time, s=vdt=kt1/2dt=23kt3/2 s = \int v dt = \int k \cdot t^{1/2} dt = \dfrac{2}{3}k \cdot t^{3/2} .

Therefore, the displacement s s is proportional to t3/2 t^{3/2} .

The correct answer is Option B, t3/2 t^{3/2} .

Q68

A t3/4{t^{3/4}}
B t3/2{t^{3/2}}
C t1/4{t^{1/4}}
D t1/2{t^{1/2}}

Option B
Solution

We know that

F×v=F \times v =

Power According to the question, power is constant. \therefore

F×v=cF \times v = c\,\,\,\,

where

c=c=

constant \therefore

mdvdt×v=cm{{dv} \over {dt}} \times v = c
(\,\,\,\,\left( \, \right.

\therefore

F=ma=mdvdt)\left. {F = ma = {{mdv} \over {dt}}\,\,} \right)

\therefore

m0vvdv=c0tdtm\int\limits_0^v {vdv = c\int\limits_0^t {dt} } \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,

\therefore

12mv2=ct{1 \over 2}m{v^2} = ct

\therefore

v=2cm×t1/2v = \sqrt {{{2c} \over m}} \times {t^{{{1}/{2}}}}
dxdt=2cm×t1/2{{dx} \over {dt}} = \sqrt {{{2c} \over m}} \times {t^{{{1}/{2}}}}\,\,\,\,

where

v=dxdtv = {{dx} \over {dt}}

\therefore

0xdx=2cm×0tt1/2dt\int\limits_0^x {dx = \sqrt {{{2c} \over m}} } \times \int\limits_0^t {{t^{{{1}/{2}}}}} dt
x=2cm×2t3/23xt3/2x = \sqrt {{{2c} \over m}} \times {{2{t^{{{3}/{2}}}}} \over 3} \Rightarrow x \propto {t^{{{3}/{2}}}}

A person trying to lose weight by burning fat lifts a mass of 1010 kgkg upto a height of 11 mm 10001000 times. Assume that the potential energy lost each time he lowers the mass is dissipated. How much fat will he use up considering the work done only when the weight is lifted up? Fat supplies 3.8×107J3.8 \times {10^7}J of energy per kgkg which is converted to mechanical energy with a 20%20\% efficiency rate. Take g=9.8ms2g = 9.8\,m{s^{ - 2}} :
A 9.89×103kg9.89 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,\,kg
B 12.89×103kg12.89 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,kg
C 2.45×103kg2.45 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,\,kg
D 6.45×103kg6.45 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,\,kg
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Assume the amount of fat is used = x kg So total Mechanical energy available through fat =

x×3.8×107×20100x \times 3.8 \times {10^7} \times {{20} \over {100}}

And work done through lifting up = 10 ×\times 9.8 ×\times 1000 = 98000 J \Rightarrow

x×3.8×107×20100x \times 3.8 \times {10^7} \times {{20} \over {100}}

= 98000 \Rightarrow

xx

= 12.89 ×\times 10-3 kg

Q70
Which one of the following forces cannot be expressed in terms of potential energy?
A Frictional force
B Coulomb’s force
C Restoring force
D Gravitational force
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

The correct answer is:

Option A: Frictional force\textbf{Option A: Frictional force}

Here's why: Conservative vs.

Non-Conservative Forces: Conservative Forces: These are forces for which the work done is independent of the path taken; they only depend on the initial and final positions.

For conservative forces, you can define a potential energy function.

Examples include Coulomb’s force, gravitational force, and the restoring force of a spring.

Non-Conservative Forces: These forces depend on the path taken and usually result in energy dissipation (often as heat).

Friction is a typical example, and hence, it cannot be described solely by a potential energy function.

Example Explanations: Coulomb’s Force: It is a conservative force because the work done in moving a charge in an electric field only depends on the difference in electric potential between two points.

Gravitational Force: It is also conservative.

The potential energy associated with gravitational force is given by gravitational potential energy, for example,

U=mghU = mgh

near the Earth’s surface. Restoring Force: For a spring, the force is given by Hooke’s law:

F=kxF = -kx

and the corresponding potential energy is

U=12kx2.U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2.

This is a conservative force.

Since friction is a non-conservative force that dissipates energy, it cannot be expressed in terms of potential energy.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: Frictional force.
