2. π2
3. 0
4. cos−1(0.2)
It is well known that a raindrop falls under the influence of the downward gravitational force and the opposing resistive force. The latter is known to be proportional to the speed of the drop but is otherwise undetermined. Consider a drop of mass 1.00 g falling from a height of 1.00 km. It hits the ground with a speed of 50.0 m/s. Work done by the gravitational force and work done by the unknown resistive force respectively are:
1. | −8.75 J and 10 J | 2. | 10 J and −8.75 J |
3. | 0 J and 2.26 J | 4. | −10 J and −10 J |
A cyclist comes to a skidding stop in 10 m. During this process, the force on the cycle due to the road is 200 N and is directly opposed to the motion. Work done by the road on the cycle and work done by the cycle on the road respectively are:
1. −2000 J and 2000 J
2. 2000 J and −2000 J
3. 0 J and 2000 J
4. −2000 J and 0 J
In a ballistics demonstration, a police officer fires a bullet of mass 50.0 g with speed 200 m/s on soft plywood of thickness 2.00 cm. The bullet emerges with only 10% of its initial kinetic energy. The emergent speed of the bullet is:
1. | Zero | 2. | 53.2 m/s |
3. | 63.2 m/s | 4. | 6.32 m/s |
A woman pushes a trunk on a railway platform which has a rough surface. She applies a force of 100 N over a distance of 10 m. Thereafter, she gets progressively tired and her applied force reduces linearly with distance to 50 N. The total distance through which the trunk has been moved is 20 m. The plot of force applied by the woman and the frictional force, which is 50 N versus displacement is given below. Work done by the two forces over 20 m are:
1. | 1750 J and −1000 J |
2. | 1750 J and 1000 J |
3. | −1750 J and 1000 J |
4. | −1750 J and −1000 J |
A block of mass m=1 kg, moving on a horizontal surface with speed vi=2 m/s enters a rough patch ranging from x=0.10 m to x=2.01 m. The retarding force Fr on the block in this range is inversely proportional to x over this range,
Fr=−kx for 0.1<x<2.01 m=0 for x<0.1 m and x>2.01 m
where k=0.5 J. What is the final kinetic energy and speed vf of the block as it crosses this patch?
1. 5 J and 1 m/s
2. 1 J and 5 m/s
3. 0.5 J and 1 m/s
4. 0.05 J and 2 m/s
A bob of mass m is suspended by a light string of length L. It is imparted a horizontal velocity v0 at the lowest point A such that it completes a semi-circular trajectory in the vertical plane with the string becoming slack only on reaching the topmost point, the ratio of the kinetic energies KBKC at points B and C is:
1. | 1:3 | 2. | 3:1 |
3. | 1:5 | 4. | 5:1 |
1. | straight line | 2. | circular |
3. | projectile | 4. | can't be determined |
