January 11 - Physics Shift 1

1. The force of interaction between two atoms is given by

$$F = \alpha \beta exp\left [ \frac{-x^{2}}{\alpha kt} \right ]$$
; where x is the distance, k is the Boltzmann constant and T is temperature
$$\alpha$$
and
$$\beta$$
are two constants. The dimension of
$$\beta$$
is:

1. a. M2L2T–2
2. b. M2LT–4
3. c. M0L2T–4
4. d. MLT–2

Solution:

1. $$F=\alpha \beta e^{\frac{-x^{2}}{\alpha KT}}$$

$$\left [ \frac{x^{2}}{\alpha KT} \right ]=M^{0}L^{0}T^{0}$$

$$\left [ \frac{L^{2}}{\alpha ML^{2}T^{-2}} \right ]=M^{0}L^{0}T^{0}$$

$$\left [ \alpha \right ]=M^{-1}T^{2}$$

$$\left [ F \right ]= \left [ \alpha \right ]\left [ \beta \right ]$$

$$\left [ MLT^{-2} \right ]= M^{-1}T^{2}\left [ \beta \right ]$$

$$\left [ \beta \right ]= M^{2}LT^{-4}$$

2. A particle is moving along a circular path with a constant speed of 10 ms–1. What is the magnitude of the change in velocity of the particle, when it moves through an angle of 60° around the centre of the circle?

1. a. zero
2. b. 10 m/s
3. c.
$$10\sqrt{3}$$
m/s
4. d.
$$10\sqrt{2}$$

Solution:

1. $$\left | \Delta \vec{v} \right |=\sqrt{v_{1}^{2}+v_{2}^{2}+2v_{1}v_{2}cos(\pi -\theta )}$$

=

$$2vsin\frac{\theta }{2}$$
(since
$$\left | \bar{v_{1}} \right |=\left | \bar{v_{2}} \right |$$

= (2 x 10) x sin(300)

= 10 m/s

3. A body is projected at t = 0 with a velocity 10 ms–1 at an angle of 60° with the horizontal.

The radius of curvature of its trajectory at t = 1s is R. Neglecting air resistance and takin acceleration due to gravity g = 10 ms–2, the value of R is :

1. a. 2.5 m
2. b. 10.3 m
3. c. 2.8 m
4. d. 5.1 m

Solution:

1. vx = 10cos60° = 5 m/s

vy = 10cos30° =

$$5\sqrt{3}$$
m/s

velocity after t = 1 sec.

$$v_{y}=\left | (5\sqrt{3}-10) \right |=10-5\sqrt{3}$$

$$a_{n}=\frac{v^{2}}{R}=\frac{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}{a_{n}}$$

$$a_{n}=\frac{25+100+75-100\sqrt{3}}{10cos\theta }$$

$$tan \theta =\frac{10-5\sqrt{3}}{5}=2-\sqrt{3}\Rightarrow \theta =15^{0}$$

$$R = \frac{100(2-\sqrt{3})}{10cos15}=2.8 m$$

4. A liquid of density

$$\rho$$
is coming out of a hose pipe of radius a with horizontal speed v and hits a mesh. 50% of the liquid passes through the mesh unaffected. 25% looses all of its momentum and 25% comes back with the same speed. The resultant pressure on the mesh will be:

1. a.
$$\rho v^{2}$$
2. b.
$$\frac{3}{4}\rho v^{2}$$
3. c.
$$\frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2}$$
4. d.
$$\frac{1}{4}\rho v^{2}$$

Solution:

1. Momentum per second carried by liquid per

second is

$$\rho av^{2}$$

net force due to reflected liquid =

$$2\times \left [\frac{1}{4}\rho av^{2} \right ]$$

net force due to stopped liquid =

$$\left [\frac{1}{4}\rho av^{2} \right ]$$

Total force =

$$\left [\frac{3}{4}\rho av^{2} \right ]$$

net pressure =

$$\left [\frac{3}{4}\rho v^{2} \right ]$$

5. A body of mass 1 kg falls freely from a height of 100 m on a platform of mass 3 kg which is mounted on a spring having spring constant k = 1.25 × 106 N/m. The body sticks to the platform and the spring's maximum compression is found to be x. Given that g = 10 ms–2, the value of x will be close to:

1. a. 4 cm
2. b. 8 cm
3. c. 80 cm
4. d. 40 cm

Solution:

1. Velocity of 1 kg block just before it collides

with 3kg block =

$$\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2000} m/s$$

Applying momentum conversation just before and just after collision.

$$I x \sqrt{2000}=4v\Rightarrow \sqrt{2000}/4$$
m/s

Initial compression of spring

1.25 x 106X0 = 30

Therefore, X0 = 0 (approx)

applying work energy theorem,

$$W_{g}+W_{sp}=\Delta KE$$

$$\Rightarrow 40\times x+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.25\times 10^{6}(0^{2}-x^{2})$$

= 0 –(1/2) x 4 x v2

solving x = 4 cm (approx)

Solution:

1. Torque for F1 force

$$\vec{F_{1}}=\frac{F}{2}(-\hat{i})+\frac{F\sqrt{3}}{2}(-\hat{j})$$

$$\vec{r_{1}}=0\hat{i}+6\hat{j}$$

$$\vec{\tau }_{F_{1}}=\vec{r _{1}}\times \vec{F _{1}}=3F\hat{k}$$

$$\vec{\tau }_{F_{2}}=\vec{r _{2}}\times \vec{F _{2}}=3F\hat{i}+2F(-\hat{j})$$

$$\vec{\tau }_{F_{net}}=\vec{\tau }_{F_{1}}+\vec{\tau }_{F_{2}}$$

$$=3F\hat{k}+3F\hat{i}+2F(-\hat{j})$$

2. b.
$$I=\frac{3}{4}I_{0}$$
3. c.
$$I=\frac{1}{4}I_{0}$$
4. d.
$$I=\frac{15}{4}I_{0}$$

Solution:

1. Suppose M is mass and a is side of large triangle, then M/4 and a/2 will be mass and side length of smaller triangle.

$$\frac{I_{removed}}{I_{original}}=\frac{\frac{M}{4}(\frac{a}{2})^{2}}{M(a)^{2}}$$

$$I_{removed}=\frac{I_{0}}{16}$$

$$I=I_{0}-\frac{I_{0}}{16}=\frac{15I_{0}}{16}$$

$$v_{e}=\sqrt{2g(R+h)}\approx \sqrt{2gR}$$

$$\Delta v=v_{e}-v_{0}=(\sqrt{2}-1) \sqrt{gR}$$

9. Ice at –20° C is added to 50 g of water at 40°C.When the temperature of the mixture reaches 0°C, it is found that 20 g of ice is still not melted. The amount of ice added to the water was close to

(Specific heat of water = 4.2 J/g/°C)

3. c. 60 g
4. d. 100 g

Solution:

1. Let amount of ice is m gm.

According to principal of calorimeter

heat taken by ice = heat given by water

Therefore, 20 × 2.1 × m + (m – 20) × 334

= 50 × 4.2 × 40

376 m = 8400 + 6680

m = 40.1 g

$$PV^{r}= constant$$

$$(\frac{nRT}{V})V^{r}= C$$

$$TV^{r-1}=constant$$

$$TV^{r-1}=TV^x$$

x=r-1 = (7/5) -1 = 2/5

Solution:

1. $$k=\frac{1}{2}m\omega ^{2}A^{2}cos^{2}\omega t$$

$$U=\frac{1}{2}m\omega ^{2}A^{2}sin^{2}\omega t$$

$$\frac{k}{U}=cot^{2}\omega t=cot^{2}\frac{\pi }{90}(210)=1/3$$

Hence ratio is 3

m/s

$$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}\Rightarrow \frac{T}{\mu }=2500$$

$$T = 2500\times 5\times 10^{-3}$$

T = 12.5 N

1. 6μF & 4μF are in parallel & total charge on this combination is 30 μC

Charge on 6μF capacitor = [6/(6+4)] x 30 = 18 μC

Since charge is asked on right plate therefore is +18μC

Here,

$$K=\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}}$$

Putting ,U =0 we get,

2. b. 240 W
3. c. 30 W
4. d. 120 W

Solution:

1. In series condition, equivalent resistance is 2R

thus power consumed is 60W

P =60 = V2/2R

V2/R = 120 Watt

In parallel condition, equivalent resistance is R/2 thus new power is

P = V2/(R/2) = 2(120)= 240W

$$V=\frac{1}{\sqrt{k\mu _{0}\epsilon _{0}}}$$

(For transparent medium

$$\mu _{r}\approx \mu _{0}$$
)

Therefore,

$$\frac{C}{V}=\sqrt{k}=n$$

$$\frac{1}{2}\epsilon _{0}E_{0}^{2}C=intensity=\frac{1}{2} \epsilon _{0}kE^{2}y$$

$$E_{0}^{2}C=kE^{2}v$$

$$\Rightarrow \frac{E_{0}^{2}}{E^{2}}=\frac{kV}{C}=\frac{n^{2}}{n}$$

$$\Rightarrow \frac{E_{0}}{E}=\sqrt{n}$$

Similarly,

$$\frac{B_{0}^{2}C}{2\mu _{0}}=\frac{B^{2}C}{2\mu _{0}}\Rightarrow \frac{B_{0}}{B}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$$

When Rh =

$$6\Omega$$

$$i_{1}=\frac{6}{4+6}=0.6A$$

$$\varepsilon_{2} =\frac{0.6\times 4}{AB}\times AJ$$
