a. 41 : 50
b. 36 : 25
c. 50 : 41
d. 25 : 36

Answer: (a)

Gravitational field intensity g1 = GM/(3R)2 = GM/9R2 …(1)

Gravitational field intensity g2 = GM/9R2 – G(M/8)/(5R/2)2

= GM/9R2 – GM/R250

= (41/9×50) GM/R2….(2)

Implies , g1/g2 = 41/50

⇒ F1/F2 = mg1/mg2 = 41/50

Question 3: A student is performing the experiment of resonance column. The diameter of the column tube is 6 cm. The frequency of the tuning fork is 504 Hz. Speed of the sound at the given temperature is 336 m/s. The zero of the metre scale coincides with the top end of the resonance column tube. The reading of the water level in the column when the first resonance occurs is:


a. 13 cm
b. 14.8 cm
c. 16.6 cm
d. 18.4 cm

Answer: (b)

λ = v/f

= 336/504 = 66.66cm

λ/4 = l + e = l + 0.3d

= l + 1.8

16.66 = l + 1.8 cm

l = 14.86 cm

Question 4: A diatomic gas, having Cp = (7/2)R and Cv = (5/2)R, is heated at constant pressure. The ratio dU : dQ : dW


a. 3 : 7 : 2
b. 5 : 7 : 2
c. 5 : 7 : 3
d. 3 : 5 : 2

Answer: (b)

Since the gas is diatomic in nature and the process is isobaric, we have

Cp = (7/2)R

Cv = (5/2)R

dU = nCvdT

dQ = nCpdT

dW = nRdT

dU : dQ : dW

Cv : Cp : R

(5/2) R : (7/2) R : R

5 : 7 : 2

Question 5: Statement I: A speech signal of 2 kHz is used to modulate a carrier signal of 1 MHz. The bandwidth requirement for the signal is 4 kHz.

Question 8: An engine of a train, moving with uniform acceleration, passes the signal post with velocity u and the last compartment with velocity v. The velocity with which middle point of the train passes the signal post is:


a. √(v2 – u2)/2
b. (v – u)/2
c. √(v2 + u2)/2
d. (u + v)/2

Answer: (c)

Feb 25 Shift 1 JEE Main 2021 Solved Paper For Physics

a = uniform acceleration

u = velocity of first compartment

v = velocity of last compartment

l = length of train

v2 = u2 + 2as (3rd equation of motion)

v2 = u2 + 2al …..(1)

v2middle = u2 + 2al/2

∴ v2middle = u2 + al ….(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

v2middle = u2 + (v2 – u2)/2

= (v2 + u2)/2

∴ vmiddle = √(v2 + u2)/2

Question 9: A proton, a deuteron and an α particle are moving with the same momentum in a uniform magnetic field. The ratio of magnetic forces acting on them is _______ and their speeds are in the ratio______.

c. 1 : 2 : 4 and 1 : 1 : 2
d. 4 : 2 : 1 and 2 : 1 : 1

Answer: (a)

As v = p/m & F = qvB

∴ F = qpB/m

F1 = qpB/m, v1 = p/m

F2 = qpB/2m, v2 = p/2m

F3 = 2qpB/4m, v3 = p/4m

F1 : F2 : F3 & V1 : V2 : V3

1 : ½ : 1/2 & 1 : ½ :1/4

2 : 1 : 1 & 4 : 2 : 1
