## JEE Main Jan 2019 Physics Question Paper And Solutions

1. A block of mass 10 kg is kept on a rough incline as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.6. Two forces of magnitudes 3N and P Newton are acting off the block as shown in the figure. If friction on the block is acting upwards then the minimum value of P for which the block remains at rest is:

(1) 64 N

(2) 32 N

(3) 12 N

(4) 3 N

Answer: (2) 32 N

Solution:

Upward force = Downward force

mg sin θ +3 = p + l

mg sin θ + 3 = P + µ(N)

Substituting,

$\frac{10 \times 10}{\sqrt{2}} + 3 = P + \frac{0.6 \times 10 \times 10}{\sqrt{2}}$

Simplifying P = 32N

2. For path ABC, the heat given to the system is 60 J and work done by the system is 30 J. For path ADC, the work done by the system is 10J.

The heat given to the system for path ADC is;

(1) 100 J

(2) 80 J

(3) 40 J

(4) 60 J

Solution:

Change in Int energy should be the same;

ΔU = 60 – 30 = 30

In process ABC

ΔQ = ΔU + Δw

ΔQ = 30 + 10

ΔQ = 40 J

3. Initially, an object is kept at a distance of 10 cm from the convex lens and a sharp image is formed at 10 cm ahead of the lens on the screen. Now a glass plate of µ = 1.5 cm and thickness 1.5 cm is placed between object and lens.

The distance by which the screen be shifted to get a sharp image on the screen will be:

(1) $\frac{9}{5}cm$

(2) $\frac{5}{9}cm$

(3) 1 cm

(4) 5 cm

Answer: (2) $\frac{5}{9}cm$

Solution:

ϑ = μ = 2f ⇒ f = 5cm

$s = t(1-\frac{1}{\mu}) = 1.5(1-\frac{1}{312}) = 5$

S is positive ⇒ along the incident ray

U’ = 9.5 cm, ϑ = ?, f = 5 cm

$\frac{1}{\Theta} = \frac{1}{f}+ \frac{1}{u}$

⇒ ϑ’ = $\frac{uf}{U + f} = \frac{(9.5)(5)}{-9.5+5} = \frac{47.5}{4.5}$

Shift = ϑ1 – ϑ = 5 / 9

(3) $\frac{2L}{m}$

(4) $\frac{L}{4m}$

Solution:

For small $d\theta\: dA = \frac{1}{2}r^{2}d\theta$ $\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^{2}d\theta = \frac{1}{2}r^{2}w = \frac{L}{2m}$

Because, L = mr2w

(2) y2 = x2 + constant

(3) xy = constant

(4) None of these

Solution:

ϑ = $yi + x\hat{j}$ $\frac{dx}{dt} = y \Rightarrow xdx = ydy$ $\frac{dy}{dt} = x \Rightarrow \frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{y^{2}}{2}= c$

x2 – y2 = K

(1) 1.5 x 10-5

(2) 10-5

(3) 2 x 10-5

(4) 10-4

Solution:

BO = BAB + BBC + BCD + BOA

BO = $O + \frac{\mu oI\Theta }{4\pi r_{BC}} + O + \frac{\mu oI\Theta }{4\pi r_{OA}}$

Substituting values we get BO = 10-5

(4) None of these

Solution:

E (along) axis of circular coil = $\frac{kQh}{(h^{2}+ R^{2})^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

For the max value of $E\frac{dE}{dH} = O$

Differentiating E w.r.t.h and equating it to O

We get $h = \frac{\pm R}{\sqrt{2}}$

Solution:

v = $\sqrt{\frac{ma}{M}}$

v ∝ $\sqrt{a_{eft}}$ $\frac{\sqrt{g^2+u^2}}{g}$ = 60.5/60

$\frac{g(1+(\frac{a}{g})^2)}{g}$ = 60.5/60
