A car is negotiating a curved road of radius R. The road is banked at angle θ. The coefficient of friction between the tyres of the car and the road is μs. The maximum safe velocity on this road is

Explanation

For a vehicle on a banked road, the maximum safe velocity is given by √(gR((μs + tanθ)/(1 - μs tanθ))), where g is the acceleration due to gravity, R is the radius of curvature, μs is the coefficient of static friction, and θ is the angle of banking. This expression takes into account the centripetal force and the frictional force acting on the vehicle.

What is the minimum velocity with which a body of mass m must enter a vertical loop of radius R so that it can complete the loop?

A particle of mass 10g moves along a circle of radius 6.4 cm with a constant tangential acceleration. What is the magnitude of this acceleration, if the kinetic energy of the particle becomes equal to 8x10-4 J by the end of the second revolution after the beginning of the motion?

Explanation

(d) Given, mass of particle m=0.01 kg.
Radius of circle along which particle is moving, r=6.4cm.

 ∴ Kinetic energy of particle, K.E=8x10-4 J

=>  12mv2=8x10-4 J

=> v2=16×10-40.01=16x10-2 …(i)

As it is given that K.E of particle is equal to 8x10-4 J by the end of second revolution after the beginning of motion of particle. It means, it’s initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s at this moment.

∴ By Newton’s 3rd equation of motion,

v2= u2+2ats

v2= 2as or v2= 2a (4πr)
(∴ particle covers 2 revolutions)

a= v2/8πr = 16x10-2/8x3.14x6.4x10-2
(∴ from equation (i), v2=16x10-2)

at=0.1m/s2




A stone is dropped from a height h.

It hits the ground with a certain momentum

p. If the same stone is dropped from a height

100% more than the previous height, the

Explanation

Velocity v= 2gh

and momentum p=mv

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have 

                 ph

Hence          P2P1=h2h1so,  P2P1=2hh=2         P2=1.414 p1

Explanation

In this condition, centripetal force is equal to 

static frictional force road and tyres,

so

A person of mass 60 kg is inside a lift of mass

940 kg and presses the button on control 

panel. The lift starts moving upwards with an

acceleration 1.0 m/s2. If g=10 m/s2, the tension 

in the supporting cable is

Explanation

The tension in the supporting cable is the force required to provide the necessary acceleration to the combined mass of the lift and the person. Using Newton's second law, F = ma = (60 + 940) kg × (10 + 1) m/s^2 = 11000 N.

The mass of a lift is 2000 kg. When the tension in the supporting cable is 28000 N, its acceleration is

Explanation

The tension in the supporting cable is the force required to accelerate the lift upwards. Using Newton's second law, F = ma, where F is the tension (28000 N), m is the mass of the lift (2000 kg), and a is the acceleration. Therefore, a = 28000 N / 2000 kg = 14 m/s^2 upwards.

A body, under the action of a force F=6i^-8j^+10k^, acquires an acceleration of 1ms-2. The mass of this body must be

Explanation

According to Newton's second law of motion, force = mass × acceleration.

Here,  F=6i^-8j^+10k^

         F=36+64+100

             = 102N

        a=1 ms-2

        m=1021=102kg

A roller coaster is designed such that riders experience "weightlessness" as they go round the top of a hill whose radius of curvature is 20m. The speed of the car at the top of the hill is between

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Balancing the forces, we get

        Mg-N=Mv2R

For weightlessness, N = 0

            Mv2R=Mg

where R is the radius of curvature and v is the speed of car.

Therefore,                v=Rg

Putting the values, R=20m, g=10.0m/s2

So,  v=20×10.0=14.14m/s2

Thus, the speed of the car at the top of the hill is between 14m/s and 15m/s.

Note: The roller coaster is a popular amusement ride developed for amusement parks and modern theme parks.
