Two bodies of masses 2 m and m have their KE in the ratio 8 : 1. What is the ratio of their momenta ?
-
Solution
\(\frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{2m_{1}k_{1}}{2m_{2}k_{2}}}\)
Which one of the following physical quantities is represented by the shaded area in the given graph?
-
Solution
\(Work \: done=\int Fdx\)
Force F on a particle moving in a straight line varies with distance d as shown in the figure. The work done on the particle during its displacement of 12 m is
-
Solution
Work done = area under F-d graph
\(=\left [ 2\times (7-2) \right ]+\left [ \frac{1}{2}\times 2(12-7) \right ]\)
= 8 + 5= 13 J
The potential energy of a system increases if work is done
-
Solution
When work is done upon a system by a conservative force then its potential energy increases.
A force F acting on an object varies with distance x as shown here. The force is in N and x in m. The work done by the force in moving the object from x = 0 to x = 6 m is:
-
Solution
Work done = area under F-x graph
= area of trapezium OABC =1⁄2(3+6)(3)= 13.5 J
The temperature at the bottom of a high water fall is higher than that at the top because
-
Solution
By the principle of conservation energy
A particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle,the motion of the particles takes place in a plane. It follows that
-
Solution
Work done by such force is always zero since force is acting in a direction perpendicular to velocity
∴from work energy theorem=ΔK=0
K remains constant.
A mass m1 moves with a great velocity. It strikes another mass m2 at rest in a head on collision. It comes back along its path with low speed, after collision. Then
-
Solution
\(V_{1}=\frac{(m_{1}-m_{2})u_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\)As v1 is negative and less than u1, therefore, m1< m2
A body moves a distance of 10 m along a straight line under the action of a force of 5 newtons. If the work done is 25 joules, the angle which the force makes with the direction of motion of body is
-
Solution
When the kinetic energy of a body is increased to three times, then the momentum increases
-
Solution
If P = momentum, K = kinetic energy, then
\(p_{1}^{2}=2mk_{1},p_{2}^{2}=2mk_{2}\)
\(∴\left ( \frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}} \right )=\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=\frac{3k_{1}}{k_{1}}=3∴\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{1}}=1.732\)
