A car moving with a velocity of 20 ms-1 stopped at a distance of 40 m. If the same car is travelling at double the velocity, the distance travelled by it for same retardation is

  • 320 m

  • 1280 m

  • 160 m

  • 640 m


C.

160 m

Velocity of car (u) = 20 ms-1

Distance (s) = 40 m

From Newton's third equation,

       v2 - u2 = 2as       v2 - u2 = - 2 as02 - 202 = - 2 (a) × 40              400 = 2 × 40 × a                  a = 4002 × 40                  a = 5 ms-2

In the second condition, the velocity becomes twice i.e, u' = 2u

Again from Newton's third equation, we get

02 - 2u2 = 2 × 5 × s                  s = 2u22 × 5                  s = 4u22 × 5                  s = 4 × 20 × 202 × 5                  s = 160 m


A car is negotiating a curved road of radius R. The road is banked at angle θ. The coefficient of friction between the tyres of the car and the road is μs . The maximum safe velocity on this road is,


A.

A car is negotiating a curved road of radius R. The road is banked at angle  and the coefficient of friction between the tyres of car and the road is .
The given situation is illustrated as:


In the case of vertical equilibrium,

N cos  = mg + f1 sin mg = N cos     ... (i)
In the case of horizontal equilibrium,

  ... (ii)
Dividing Eqns. (i) and (ii), we get

The resultant of two forces, one double the other in magnitude, is perpendicular to the smaller of the two forces. The angle between the two forces is

  • 120°

  • 60°

  • 90°

  • 150°


A.

120°

F1 = (F) one force

F2 = (2F) second force

Let θ is angle between F1 and F2

              

Here angle made by resultant FR is α with F1

                  α = 90               tan α  = F2 sin θF1 + F2 cos θ = αF2 sin θF1 + F2 cos θ = 10  F1 + F2 cos θ = 0           2F cos θ = - F                cos θ = - 12                      θ = 120

A particle of mass m is driven by a machine that delivers a constant power K watts. If the particle starts from rest, the force on the particle at time t is

  • square root of mk over 2 end root t to the power of negative 1 divided by 2 end exponent
  • square root of mk space t to the power of negative 1 divided by 2 end exponent
  • square root of 2 mk end root space t to the power of negative 1 divided by 2 end exponent
  • square root of 2 mk end root space t to the power of negative 1 divided by 2 end exponent


A.

square root of mk over 2 end root t to the power of negative 1 divided by 2 end exponent

As the machine delivers a constant power
So F, v =constant = k (watts)

Three blocks A, B, and C of masses 4 kg, 2 kg and 1 kg respectively, are in contact on a 14 N is applied to the 4 kg block, then the contact force between A and B is

  • 2 N

  • 6 N

  • 8 N 

  • 8 N 


B.

6 N

Given, mA = 4 kg
mB = 2 kg 
=> mC =1 kg

So total mass (M)  = 4+2+1 = 7 kg
Now, F = Ma 
14 = 7a
a=2 m/s2


F-F' = 4a
F' = 14-4x2
F' = 6N
