Question 51. A force F=K(yi+aj) (where K is a positive constant) acts on a particle moving in the xy-plane. Starting from the origin, the particle is taken along the positive x-axis to the point (a, 0) and then parallel to the y-axis to the point (a, a). The total work done by the force F on the particles is
  1.    −2Ka2
  2.    2Ka2
  3.    −Ka2
  4.    Ka2

Answer: Option C. -> −Ka2
:
C
While moving from (0,0) to (a,0)
Along positive x-axis, y = 0 F=kx^j
i.e. force is in negative y-direction while displacement is in positive x-direction.
W1=0
Because force is perpendicular to displacement
Then particle moves from (a,0) to (a,a) along a line parallel to y-axis (x = +a) during thisF=k(y^i+a^j)
The first component of force, ky^i will not contribute any work because this components is along negative x-direction (^i)while displacement is in positive y-direction (a,0) to (a,a).
The second component of force i.e. ka^j
W2=(ka^j)(a^j)=(ka)(a)=ka2
So net work done on the particle W=W1+W2
=0+(ka2)=ka2
Question 52. When work is done on a body by an external force, its
  1.    Only kinetic energy increases
  2.    Only potential energy increases
  3.    Both kinetic and potential energies may increase
  4.    Sum of kinetic and potential energies remains constant
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Both kinetic and potential energies may increase
:
C
Work done will convert into energies - both Kinetic and Potential
Question 53. A force acts on a 30 gm particle in such a way that the position of the particle as a function of time is given by x=3t4t2+t3, where x is in metres and t is in seconds. The work done during the first 4 seconds is
 
  1.    5.28 J
  2.    450 mJ
  3.    490 mJ
  4.    530 mJ
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 5.28 J
:
A
v=dxdt=38t+3t2
v0=3m/sandv4=19m/s
W=12m(v24v20) (According to work energy theorem)
=12×0.03×(19232)=5.28J
Question 54. A body moves a distance of 10 m along a straight line under the action of a force of 5 N. If the work done is 25 joule, the angle which the force makes with the direction of motion of the body is

  2.    30∘
  3.    60∘
  4.    90∘
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 60∘
:
C
W=Fscosθ
cosθ=WFs=2550=12
θ=cos1(12)
θ=60

Question 56. Which of the following is a scalar quantity
 
  1.    Displacement
  2.    Electric field
  3.    Acceleration
  4.    Work
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Work
:
D
Work is a dot product of force and displacement and hencea scalar.
Question 57. If the unit of force and length each be increased by four times, then the unit of energy is increased by
 
  1.    16 times
  2.    8 times
  3.    2 times
  4.    4 times
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 16 times
:
A
Work = Force × Displacement
If unit of force and length be increased by four times then the unit of energy will increase by 16 times.
Question 58. |A|=4 units
|B|=10 units  If angle between A & B is 60 then find  AB.
  1.    20
  2.    40
  3.    0
  4.    20√3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 20
:
A
A.B = |A||B|cos60 .
|¯¯¯¯A|=4 ;|¯¯¯¯B|=10
= 4×10×12
Scalar product ofA &B = 20

  2.    √2Rg
  3.    2√πRg
  4.    2√πRg
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> √2Rg
:
B
By applying law of conservation of energy
mgR = 12mv2
v=2Rg
Question 60. What is the angle between the following vectors?
 A=^i+^j+^k and B=2^i2^j2^k.
  1.      45∘
  2.     90∘
  3.    0∘
  4.      180∘
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. ->   180∘
:
D
A.B=|A||B|cosθor,cosθ=A.B|A||B| ----------------(i)
But, A.B=(^i+^j+^k).(2^i2^j2^k)
A.B=222
A.B=222=6
Again A = |A|=(1)2+(1)2+(1)2=3;
B = |B|=(2)2+(2)2+(2)2=12=23
Now,cosθ=63×23=1θ=180
