The negative of the distance rate of change of potential energy is equal to
-
Solution
F = - dU⁄dx
The force F acting on a body moving in a circle of radius r is always perpendicular to the instantaneous velocity v.The work done by the force on the body in half rotation is
-
Solution
Work done by centripetal force is zero.
A ramp is constructed in parabolic shape such that the height y of any point on its surface is given in terms of the point’s horizontal distance x from the bottom of the ramp bey = x2/2L.A block of granite is to be set on the ramp; the coefficient of static friction is 0.80. What is the maximum x coordinate at which the block can be placed on the ramp and remain at rest, if L = 10 m?

Solution
The kinetic energy of particle moving along a circle of radius R depends upon the distance and is given by K= aS where a is a constant. Then the force acting on the particle is

Solution
A smooth sphere of mass M moving with velocity u directly collides elastically with another sphere of mass m at rest.After collision, their final velocities are V and v respectively.The value of v is

Solution
A 10 m long iron chain of linear mass density 0.8 kg m-1 is hanging freely from a rigid support. If g = 10 ms-2, then the power required to left the chain upto the point of support in 10 second

Solution
A weight suspended from the free end of a vertically hanging spring produces an extension of 3 cm. The spring is cut into two parts so that the length of the longer part is 2⁄3 of the original length, If the same weight is now suspended from the longer part of the spring, the extension produced will be

Solution
A glass marble dropped from a certain height above the horizontal surface reaches the surface in time t and then continues to bounce up and down. The time in which the marble finally comes to rest is

Solution
A motor drives a body along a straight line with a constant force. The power P developed by the motor must vary with time t according to
-
Solution
P = F × v ⇒ P =F at ∴ P ∝ t
A mass m is moving with velocity v collides inelastically with a bob of simple pendulum of mass m and gets embedded into it. The total height to which the masses will rise after collision is
