A machine gun fires a bullet of mass 40 g with a velocity 1200 ms−1. The man holding it can exert a maximum force of 144 N on the gun. How many bullets can he fire per second at the most?

  • one 

  • Four

  • Two

  • Two


D.

Two

The force exerted by machine gun on man's hand in firing a bullet = change in momentum per second on a bullet or rate of change of momentum

space equals open parentheses 40 over 1000 close parentheses space straight x space 1200 space equals space 48 space straight N

The force exerted by man on machine gun = 144 N Hence, number of bullets fired =144/48 = 3

Consider a car moving on a straight road with a speed of 100 m/s. The distance at which car can be stopped is [µ =k 0.5]

  • 800 m

  • 1000 m

  • 600 m

  • 600 m


B.

An automobile travelling with speed of 60 km/h, can brake to stop within a distance of 20 cm. If the car is going twice as fast, i.e 120 km/h, the stopping distance will be

  • 20 m

  • 40 m

  • 60 m

  • 60 m


D.

60 m

Third equation of motion gives
v2 = u2 + 2as ⇒ 2
s ∝ u (since v = 0)
where a = retardation of body in both the cases

therefore, straight s subscript 1 over straight s subscript 2 space equals space fraction numerator straight u subscript 1 superscript 2 over denominator straight u subscript 2 superscript 2 end fraction .... (i)

Here, s1 = 20 m, u1 = 60 km/h, u2 = 120 km/h. Putting the given values in eq. (i), we get

20 over straight s subscript 2 space equals space open parentheses 60 over 120 close parentheses squared
space straight s subscript 2 space equals space 20 space straight x space open parentheses 120 over 60 close parentheses squared
space equals space 20 space straight x space 4 space
space equals space 80 space straight m

A ball is released from the top of a tower of height h metres. It takes T seconds to reach the ground. What is the position of the ball in T/3 seconds?

  • h/9 metres from the ground

  • 7h/9 metres from the ground

  • 8h/9 metres from the ground

  • 8h/9 metres from the ground


C.

8h/9 metres from the ground



second law of motion
straight s space equals ut space plus space 1 half space plus gT squared
or space straight h equals 0 plus 1 half gT squared space left parenthesis because space straight u equals 0 right parenthesis
therefore space straight T equals square root of open parentheses fraction numerator 2 straight h over denominator straight g end fraction close parentheses end root
At space straight t space equals space straight T over 3 straight s comma
straight s space equals space 0 plus space 1 half straight g space open parentheses straight T over 3 close parentheses squared
rightwards double arrow space straight s space equals space 1 half space straight g. straight T squared over 9
rightwards double arrow space straight s space equals space straight g over 18 space straight x space fraction numerator 2 straight h over denominator straight g end fraction space space space space open parentheses therefore space equals space square root of fraction numerator 2 straight h over denominator straight g end fraction end root close parentheses
therefore s = h/9 m
Hence, the position of ball from the ground= h- h/9 = 8h/9 m

A mass ‘m’ moves with a velocity v and collides inelastically with another identical mass. After collision, the 1st mass moves with velocity v/√3 in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. Find the speed of the 2nd mass after collision

  • v

  • √3 v

  • 2v/√3

  • 2v/√3


C.

2v/√3

mv= mv1 cos = θ



0 space equals space fraction numerator mv over denominator square root of 3 end fraction space minus mv subscript 1 sinθ
therefore space straight v subscript 1 space equals space fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction straight v
