An insect  is crawling up a fixed hemispherical  bowl of radius R. The coefficient of friction between insect and bowl is `1/3` . The insect can only crawl upto a height


  1.    60 % of R
  2.    10 % of R
  3.    5 % of R
  4.    100 % of R
 Discuss Question

Question 42.

An elastic string of unstretched length  `l` and force constant `k` is stretched by a small length `x`. It is further stretched  by another small length y . The work done in the second stretching is


  1.    `1/2 ky^2`
  2.    `1/2 k(x^2 + y^2)`
  3.    `1/2 k(x + y)^2`
  4.    `1/2 ky(2x + y)`
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> `1/2 ky(2x + y)`

Elastic force in string is conservative in nature .

`:.`       `W = Dela  u`

where  W = work  done by elastic force of string

     `Delta u` = Change in elastic potential  energy

`because `  ` W = - (u_f - u_i) = u_i - U_f`

or        `w = 1/2 kx^2 - 1/2 k(x + y)^2`

or        `w = 1/2kx^2 - 1/2 k(x^2 + y^2  + 2xy)`

           =     `1/2kx^2 - 1/2 kx^2 - 1/2ky^2 - 1/2 K( 2xy)`

           = ` - kxy - 1/2 ky^2`

           = `1/2 ky( - 2x - y)`

The work done against elastic force is

`w_(external) =  - w = (ky)/(2)  (3x + y)`            



Question 43.

A 60 g bullet is fired through a stack of fibre board sheet , 200 mm thick. If the bullet approches the stack with a velocity of 600 m/s . The average resistance offered to the bullet is


  1.    54 kN
  2.    2 kN
  3.    20.25 kN
  4.    10 kN
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 54 kN


Question 44.

A stone is tied to a string of length  `l` is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string at the centre .At a certain instant of time , the stone is a its  lowest position and has a speed `u` . The magnitude of the change in its velocity as it reaches a position where the string is horizontal is


  1.    `sqrt(u^2 - 2gL)`
  2.    `sqrt(2gL)`
  3.    `sqrt(u^2 - gL)`
  4.    `sqrt(2(u^2 - gL))`
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> `sqrt(2(u^2 - gL))`


Question 45.

When a bullet of mass 10 g and speed 100 m/s penetrates up  to distance 1 cm in a human body in rest . The resistance offered by human  body is


  1.    2000 N
  2.    1500 N
  3.    5000 N
  4.    1000 N
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5000 N

Here         u  = 100 m/s

            v = 0,       s = 1 cm = `10^-2` m

`:.`        ` v^2 = u^2 - 2as`

`:.`         `a =( u^2)/(2s)  = (100 xx 100)/(2 xx 1 xx 10^-2`

     = `5 xx 10^5` m / `s^2`

`:.`    F = ma = `10 xx 10^-3 xx 5 xx 10^5` = 5000  N

Alternative method

              `W = Delta `K

`or      - Fs = 1/2 mv^2 - 1/2 mu^2`

                   = `0 - 1/2 xx 10 xx 10^-3 xx 10000`

or      `- F xx 10^-2 = - 1/2 xx 10  xx 10^-3 xx 10 ^4`

`:.`              F = 5000 N.


Question 46.

Force  F acts on a body of mass  1 Kg moving with an initial velocity  ``v_0` for 1 sec. Then


  1.    distance coverer by the body is `v_0 + F/2`
  2.    final velocity of body is `(v_0 + F)`
  3.    momentum of body increased by F
  4.    all of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> all of the above


Question 47.

If a car is moving on a straight road with constant speed . Then


  1.    work is done against force of friction
  2.    net work done on car is zero
  3.    net work done may be zero
  4.    both (A) and (B) are correct
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> both (A) and (B) are correct

According to work energy theorem, net work done is given by change in kinetic energy ./ Since no change takes place in kinetic energy . Hence net work  done should be zero


Question 48.

The work done on a particle is equal to the change in its kinetic energy


  1.    always
  2.    only it the force acting on the body are conservative
  3.    only if the force acting on the body are gravitational
  4.    only if the forces acting on the body are elastic
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> always


Question 49.

Mark correct option .


  1.    the negative change in potential energy is equal to work done
  2.    mechanical energy of a system remains constant
  3.    if internal force are non conservative the net wor done by internal force must be zero
  4.    none of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> none of the above

(A) This statement is correct only when forces are of conservative nature.

(B) In the absence of non -conservative force mechanical energy and non mechanical energy and non machanical energy are separately constant .

(C) The work done by internal  force may not be zero.


Question 50.

In the above broblem


  1.    First the point mass decelerates then accelerates
  2.    first the point mass accekerates then decelerates
  3.    at the maximum compression of soring acceleration of mass is zero
  4.    the point mass moves with constant velocity
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> first the point mass accekerates then decelerates
