Very Short Answer

5.16. A girl riding a bicycle along a straight road with a speed of 5 m/s throws a stone of mass 0.5 kg, which has a speed of 15 m/s with respect to the ground along her direction of motion. The mass of the girl and the bicycle is 50 kg. Does the speed of the bicycle change after the stone is thrown? What is the change in speed, if so?

Answer:

Given,

m1 = 50 kg

m2 = 0.5 kg

u1 = 5 m/s

u2 = 5 m/s

v1 = ?

v2 = 15 m/s

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Initial momentum = final momentum

(m1 + m2) u1 = m1v1 + m2v2

Substituting the values, we get

v1 = 4.9 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the cycle and the girl decreases by: 5 – 4.9 = 0.1 m/s.

5.17. A person of mass 50 kg stands on a weighing scale on a lift. If the lift is descending with a downward acceleration of 9 m/s2, what would be the reading of the weighing scale?

Answer:

The apparent weight on the weighing scale decreases when the lift descends with an acceleration a.

Let W’ be the apparent weight

Therefore,

W’ = R = (mg – ma) = m(g – a)

Therefore, apparent weight, W’ = 50(10-9) = 50 N

Reading of the weighing scale = R/g = 50/10 = 5 kg.

5.18. The position time graph of a body of mass 2 kg is as given in the figure. What is the impulse on the body at t – 0 sec and t = 4 sec?

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.15

Answer:

Mass of body, m = 2 kg

Time, t = 0

Initial velocity, v1 = 0

From graph, we know that

t ≥ 0 to t ≤ 4, which is a straight line.

The velocity of the body is constant

v2 = tan θ = 3/4 = 0.75 m/s

At t ≥ 4, the slope of the graph is zero so velocity v3 = 0

Impulse = Ft = (dp/dt)dt = dp

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse at t = 0 is given as:

2(0.75 – 0) = 1.50 kg.m/s

Impulse at t = 4 is given as:

m(v3 – v2) = 2(0-0.75) = -1.50 kg.m/s

Therefore, impulse at t = 0 increases by +1.5 kg.m/s and at t = 4 it decreases by -1.5 kg.m/s.

5.19. A person driving a car suddenly applies the brakes on seeing a child on the road ahead. If he is not wearing a seat belt, he falls forward and hits his head against the steering wheel. Why?

Answer:

When a person applies brakes suddenly, he tends to fall forward and hit his head against the steering wheel if he is not wearing the seat belt because his upper body continues to be in a state of motion and in the same direction as that of the car which is due to the inertia of motion.

5.21. A block placed on a rough horizontal surface is pulled by a horizontal force F. Let f be the force applied by the rough surface on the block. Plot a graph of f versus F.

Answer:

F1 is the force that is acting on the heavy box which is opposed by the smaller frictional force f1 and is equal to F1. For the box to move, F = Fs which is the maximum static frictional force. This force is also corresponding to the frictional force fs on the y-axis.

The frictional force decreases when Fk < Fs is applied on the body, and it starts to move such the less friction is fk < fs.

5.23. Why does a child feel more pain when falls down on a hard cement floor, than when she falls on the soft muddy ground in the garden?

Answer:

When a child falls on a hard cement floor, the child feels more pain than when the child falls on the soft muddy ground in the garden because the time taken by the child to stop is very small on the cemented ground whereas, on the soft muddy ground, the time taken is more. When the time taken to stop is more, the acceleration is decreased resulting in reduced force.

5.24. A woman throws an object of mass 500 g with a speed of 25 m/s.

b) if the object hits a wall and rebounds with half the original speed, what is the change in momentum of the object?

Answer:

a) Mass of the object, m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

u = 0

v = 25 m/s

Impulse is given as:

Exemplar Solution Physics Class 11 Chapter 4 Img 20

Substituting the values, we get impulse = 12.5 N.s

b) m = 0.5 kg

u = +25 m/s

v = -25/2 m/s

∆p = m(v – u) = -18.75 N.s

5.25. Why are mountain roads generally made winding upwards rather than going straight up?

Answer:

The mountain roads are generally made winding upwards rather than going straight up because the force of friction is high which reduces the chances of skidding. When the roads are straight up, the value of frictional force increases which increases the chance of skidding. This is given by:

fs = μN cosθ where θ is the angle of inclination.

5.26. A mass of 2 kg is suspended with thread AB. Thread CD of the same type is attached to the other end of 2 kg mass. Lower thread is pulled gradually harder and harder in the downward direction so as to apply force on AB. Which of the threads will break and why?

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.19

Answer:

The force acting on the thread AB is equal to the force F as the mass 2 kg is acting downward. So, it can be said that the force acting on the AB is 2 kg more than on D and therefore, the thread AB breaks.

5.27. In the above-given problem if the lower thread is pulled with a jerk, what happens?

Answer:

When the lower thread is pulled with a jerk, the thread CD breaks the thread is under the inertia of rest and the mass 2 kg above acts on it.

5.28. Two masses of 5 kg and 3 kg are suspended with the help of massless inextensible strings as shown in the figure. Calculate T1 and T2 when the whole system is going upwards with acceleration = 2 m/s2.

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.13

Answer:

The acceleration of the whole system is, a = 2 m/s2

m1 = 5 kg

m2 = 3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s2

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.12

Tension in a string is equal and opposite in all parts of the string.

Forces on mass m1 is

T1 – T2 – m1g = m2a

T1 – T2 – 5g = 5a

T1 – T2 = 5g + 5a

T1 – T2 = 5(9.8 + 2)

T1 – T2 = 59 N

Force on mass m2 is

T2 – m2g = m2a

T2 = m2(g + a) = 3 (9.8 + 2) = 35.4

T1 = 94.4 N

5.29. Block A of weight 100N rests on a frictionless inclined plane of slope angle 30o. A flexible cord attached to A passes over a frictionless pulley and is connected to block B of weight W. Find the weight W for which the system is in equilibrium.

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.11

Answer:

When there is equilibrium between A or B,

mg sin 30o = F

1/2 mg = F

F = (1/2)(100) = 50

Therefore, when B is at rest, W = F = 50 N.

5.30. A block of mass M is held against a rough vertical wall by pressing it with a finger. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is μ and the acceleration due to gravity is g, calculate the minimum force required to be applied by the ginger to hold the block against the wall.

Answer:

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.10

F is the force applied by the finger on the body whose mass is M, and the body is at rest against the wall.

Using the balanced condition,

F = N

f = Mg

μF = Mg

F = Mg/μ is the minimum force that is required to hold the block against the wall at rest.

5.31. A 100 kg gun fires a ball of 1 kg horizontally from a cliff of height 500 m. It falls on the ground at a distance of 400 m from the bottom of the cliff. Find the recoil velocity of the gun.

Answer:

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.9

The horizontal speed of the ball is = u m/s

The vertical component is = 0

Considering the motion of the ball vertically downward

u = 0

s = h = 500 m

g = 10 s/m2

s = ut + 1/2 at2

Substituting the values, we get

t2 = 100

t = 10 sec

Horizontal range = 10u

Which means v = 40 m/s

Using conservation of momentum, we can calculate the recoil velocity of the gun as = -40/100 m/s = -0.4 m/s which is the opposite side of the speed of the ball.

5.32. The figure shows (x,t) (y,t) diagram of a particle moving in 2-dimension. If the particle has a mass of 500 g, find the force acting on the particle.

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.8

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.7

Answer:

vx = dx/dt = 2/2 = 1 m/s

ax = d2x/dt2 = dvx/dt = 0

For graph b)

y = t2

vy = dy/dt = 2t

ay = dvy/dt = 2

Therefore, Fy = may

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

Fy = (0.5)(2) = 1 N towards y-axis

Fx = (0.5)(0) = 0 N

Therefore,

Exemplar Solution Physics Class 11 Chapter 4 Img 21

Therefore, F = 1 N towards y-axis.

5.33. A person in an elevator accelerating upwards with an acceleration of 2 m/s2, tosses a coin vertically upwards with a speed of 20 m/s. After how much time will the coin fall back into his hand?

Answer:

The upward acceleration of an elevator, a = 2 m/s2

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s2

Therefore, the net effective acceleration, a’ = (a + g) = 12 m/s2

Considering the effective motion of the coin,

v = 0

t = time taken by the coin to achieve maximum height

u = 20 m/s

a’ = 12 m/s2

Therefore, v = u + at

Where, t = 5/3 sec after substituting the values in the above equation.

Therefore, the total time taken by the coin to return after achieving maximum height is 3(1/3) sec.

Long Answer

5.34. There are three forces F1, F2, and F3, acting on a body, all acting on a point P on the body. The body is found to move with uniform speed.

a) show that the forces are coplanar

b) show that the torque acting on the body about any point due to these three forces is zero

Answer:

a) Acceleration of the body is zero as the three forces F1, F2, and F3 on a point on a body has a resultant force equal to zero. The direction of forces F1 and F2 are in the plane of the paper and in their sum is in the opposite direction in the same plane. Also, F3 is in the same plane. Therefore, all the three forces are coplanar.

b) The resultant of forces F1, F2, and F3 are zero and the torque is also equal to zero. That is, the resultant force is given as:

F = F1 + F2 + F3 = 0.

Therefore, it can be said that at any point, the torque acting will be zero.

5.35. When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane, making an angle of 45o with the horizontal, it takes time T. When the same body slides down from rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it is seen to take time pT, where p is some number greater than 1. Calculate the coefficient of friction between the body and the rough plane.

Answer:

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.6

The inclined plane angle is 45o such that

u = 0

s = s

t = T

a = g sin 45o = g/√2

s = ut + 1/2 at2

s = gT2/2√2

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.5

u = 0

s = gT2/2√2

ma = mg sin 45o – f

a = mg (1/√2 – μ/√2)

Substituting the values, we get

μ = (1-1/p2)

5.36. Below figures show (vx, t) and (vy, t) diagrams for a body of unit mass. Find the force as a function of time.

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.4

Answer:

For graph a)

vx = 2t for 0 < t < 1s

ax = 2/1 for 0 < t < 1s

vx = 2(2-t) for 1 < t < 2s

ax = -2/1 = -2 for 1 < t < 2s

Therefore, Fx = ma

Where m = 1

Fx = -2 for 1 < t < 2s

For graph b)

ay = 1/1 m/s2 0 < t < 1

Fy = ma = 1 for 0 < t < 1

ay = 0 for 1 < t

Fy = 0 for 1 < t < 2s

The resultant force is given as:

5.37. A racing car travels on a track ABCDEFA. ABC is a circular arc of radius 2 R. CD and FA are straight paths of length R and DEF is a circular arc of radius R = 100 m. The coefficient of friction on the road is μ = 0.1. The maximum speed of the car is 50 m/s. Find the minimum time for completing one round.

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.3

Answer:

Time taken from A to B to C

S1 = length pf path = 3/4 2Ï€(2R) = 300Ï€ m

V1 = maximum speed of the car along the circular path

= √πrg = √(0.1)(2R)(g)

= 14.14 m/s

T1 = S1/V1 = 66.62 sec

Time taken from C to D and F to A

V2 is the maximum speed = 50 m/s

T2 = S2/V2 = 4 sec

Time taken from D to E to F

S3 = 1/4 2 πR = 50 π

V3 = √μrg = √(0.1)(100)(10) = 10 m/s

T3 = S3/V3 = 15.70 sec

Therefore, total time taken by the car = T1 + T2 + T3 = 86.32 sec

5.38. The displacement vector of a particle of mass m is given by
Exemplar Solution Physics Class 11 Chapter 4 Img 23

a) show that the trajectory is an ellipse

b) show that F = -mω2r

Answer:

a)

Exemplar Solution Physics Class 11 Chapter 4 Img 24

x = A cos ωt

y = B sin ωt

x/A = cos ωt

y/B = sin ωt

Squaring both the equations and adding them,

x2/A2 + y2/B2 = cos2 ωt + sin2 ωt

x2/A2 + y2/B2 = 1

The above equation is of an ellipse and so the trajectory is an ellipse.

b) x = A cos ωt

vx = dx/dt = -Aω sin ωt

ax = dvz/dt = -Aω2 cos ωt

y = B sin ωt

vy = dy/dt = Bω cos ωt

ay = dvy/dt = -Bω2 sin ωt

\(\begin{array}{l}a=a_{x}\widehat{i}+a_{y}\widehat{j}\end{array} \)

Solving the above, we get

a = – ω2rt.

5.40. There are four forces acting at a point P produced by strings as shown in the figure, which is at rest. Find the forces F1 and F2.

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.2

Answer:

The resultant forces on the point are zero as the point is at rest with a = 0

Therefore, the net components along the X and Y axis will be zero.

Resolving all the forces along X-axis is

Fx = 0

F1 + 1 cos 45o – 2 cos 45o = 0

F1 – 1 cos 45o = 0

F1 = cos 45o = 0.707 N

Resolving all the forces along Y-axis is

Fy = 0

-F2 + 1 cos 45o + 2 cos 45o = 0

-F2 = -3 cos 45o

F2 = 2.121N

5.41. A rectangular box lies on a rough inclined surface. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the box is μ. Let the mass of the box be m.

a) at what angle of inclination θ of the plane to the horizontal will the box just start to slide down the plane?

b) what is the force acting on the box down the plane, if the angle of inclination of the plane is increased to a > θ

c) what is the force needed to be applied upwards along the plane to make the box either remain stationary or just move up with uniform speed?

d) what is the force needed to be applied upwards along the plane to make the box move up the plane with acceleration a.

Answer:

Exemplar Solution Class 11 Physics Chapter 5.1

a) As the box starts to slide down the plane, μ = tan θ

θ = tan-1(μ)

b) If a > θ, the angle of inclination will be the angle of repose and the net force acting will be in the downward

F1 = mg sin a – f = mg sin a – μN

= mg sin a – μ mg cos a

F1 = mg (sin a – μ cos a)

c) F2 is the force which is required to keep the box stationary and to move with uniform velocity

F2 – mg sin a – f = ma

Or

F2 – mg sin a – μN = 0

F2 = mg sin a – μN = 0

F2 = mg (sin a – μ cos a)

d) F3 is the force that is required to move the box upward with a as acceleration

F3 – mg sin a – μ mg cos a = ma

F3 = mg (sin a + μ cos a) + ma

5.42. A helicopter of mass 2000 kg rises with a vertical acceleration of 15 m/s2. The total mass of the crew and passengers is 500 kg. Give the magnitude and direction of the

a) force on the floor of the helicopter by the crew and passengers

b) action of the rotor of the helicopter on the surrounding air

c) force on the helicopter due to the surrounding air

Answer:

Given,

Mass of helicopter, M = 2000 kg

Mass of the crew and passenger, m = 500 kg

Acceleration of helicopter with the crew and passengers = 15 m/s2

a) Force on the floor of the helicopter by the crew and passenger = m(g + a) = 500(10 + 15)

F1 = (500)(25) = 12500 N

b) Action of the rotor of the helicopter on the surrounding air is force F2.

The acceleration due to Newton’s third law is when acceleration is 15 m/s = (M + m)(g + a)

= (2000 + 500) (g + a)

= 2500(10 + 15)

= 62500 N

c) Force on the helicopter due to the surrounding air is F3.

F3 = Action force = – 62500 N or + 62500 N
