A bullet loses 120 of its velocity passing through a plank. The least number of planks required to stop the bullet is (All planks offers same retardation)

Explanation

For a bullet to be stopped, it must lose all its velocity. If it loses 1/20th of its velocity after passing through one plank, then to lose its entire velocity, it needs to pass through 20 planks. Therefore, the least number of planks required to stop the bullet is 11.

A body starts from the origin and moves along the X-axis such that the velocity at any instant is given by (4t32t), where t is in sec and velocity in m/s. What is the acceleration of the particle, when it is 2 m from the origin ?

Explanation

v=4t32t(given) ∴ a=dvdt=12t22

and x=0tvdt=0t(4t32t)dt=t4t2

When particle is at 2m from the origin t4t2=2

t4t22=0(t22)(t2+1)=0t=2sec

Acceleration at t=2sec given by,

a=12t22=12×22 = 22m/s2  

The relation between time and distance is t=αx2+βx, where α and β are constants. The retardation is

Explanation

dtdx=2αx+βv=12αx+βLet, 2αx+β=pdpdx=2αv=1pdvdp=-1p2=-1(2αx+β)2Now, dvdx=dvdp×dpdx=-2α(2αx+β)2

a=dvdt=dvdx.dxdt

a=vdvdx=v.2α(2αx+β)2=v.2α×1(2αx+β)2=2α.v.v2=2αv3

∴ Retardation =2αv3  

A point moves with uniform acceleration and v1, v2 and v3 denote the average velocities in the three successive intervals of time t1, t2 and t3. Which of the following relations is correct ?

Explanation

Let u1,u2,u3 and u4 be velocities at time t=0,t1,(t1+t2) and (t1+t2+t3) respectively and acceleration is a then v1=u1+u22,v2=u2+u32and v3=u3+u42

Also u2=u1+at1,u3=u1+a(t1+t2)

and u4=u1+a(t1+t2+t3)

By solving, we get v1v2v2v3=(t1+t2)(t2+t3)  

A car moving with a velocity of 10 m/s can be stopped by the application of a constant force F in a distance of 20 m. If the velocity of the car is 30 m/s, it can be stopped by this force in

Explanation

Let initial velocity of car be u and it stops after covering distance SBy 3rd equation of motionv2 =u2 -2aSWhere v =final velocityTo stop car , v=0Putting in above equation,S= u22awhere a is retardation and s is the stopping distance

Su2.

For constant retardation a, if u becomes 3 times then S will become 9 times i.e. 9×20=180m  

where S is the stopping distance.

A car moving with a speed of 40 km/h can be stopped by applying brakes for atleast 2 m. If the same car is moving with a speed of 80 km/h, what is the minimum stopping distance ?

An elevator car, whose floor to ceiling distance is equal to 2.7 m, starts ascending with constant acceleration of 1.2 ms–2. 2 sec after the start, a bolt begins falling from the ceiling of the car. The free fall time of the bolt is

Explanation

Using relative motion concept,abolt,car = abolt - acar               = 9.8 - (-1.2)                     = 11 m/s2Also initial velocity of bolt wrt car u = 0

t=2h(g+a)=2×2.7(9.8+1.2)=5.411=0.49=0.7sec

As u = 0 and lift is moving upward with acceleration.

The displacement is given by x=2t2+t+5, the acceleration at t=2s is

Explanation

Displacement x=2t2+t+5

Velocity =dxdt=4t+1

Acceleration =d2xdt2=4 i.e. independent of time

Hence acceleration =4m/s2   

A body of 5 kg is moving with a velocity of 20 m/s. If a force of 100N is applied on it for 10s in the same direction as its velocity, what will now be the velocity of the body ?

v=u+at=u+Fmt=20+1005×10=220  m/s    

A body, thrown upwards with some velocity, reaches the maximum height of 20m. Another body with double the mass thrown up, with double initial velocity will reach a maximum height of

Explanation

Mass does not affect on maximum height.

H=u22gHu2, So if velocity is doubled then height will become four times. i.e. H=20×4=80m
