The value of 'x' to the nearest integer is __________.
Explanation:
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
0 + 10 $\times$ 10 $\times$ 10 = ${1 \over 2}$ $\times$ 10 $\times$ v$_B^2$ + 10 $\times$ 10 $\times$ 5
1000 = 5v$_B^2$ + 500
v$_B^2$ = ${{500} \over 5}$ = 100
VB = 10 m/s
x = 10
$U = {\alpha \over {{r^{10}}}} - {\beta \over {{r^5}}} - 3$
where, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants. The equilibrium distance between two atoms will be ${\left( {{{2\alpha } \over \beta }} \right)^{{a \over b}}}$, where a = ___________.
Explanation:
$F = - \left[ { - {{10\alpha } \over {{r^{11}}}} + {{5\beta } \over {{r^6}}}} \right]$
for equilibrium, F = 0
${{10\alpha } \over {{r^{11}}}} = {{5\beta } \over {{r^6}}}$
${{2\alpha } \over \beta } = {r^5}$
$r = {\left( {{{2\alpha } \over \beta }} \right)^{1/5}}$
$ \therefore $ $a = 1$
U = $ - {A \over {{r^6}}} + {B \over {{r^{12}}}}$,
then at equilibrium, separation between molecules, and the potential energy are :
(1 HP = 746 W, g = 10 ms-2)
Explanation:
Let s be the required distance.

From Work - Energy theorem,
Work = Change in kinetic energy
$\Rightarrow$ Power $\times$ Time = $\Delta$K
i.e., Pt = $\Delta$K $\Rightarrow$ Pt = ${1 \over 2}$mv2 ..... (i)
Given, P = 1 Js$-$1, t = 9 s, m = 2 kg
Substituting all the given values in eq. (i), we get
1 $\times$ 9 = ${1 \over 2}$(2) v2
v2 = 9 $\Rightarrow$ v = 3 m/s (at t = 9 s)
As, Fv = P $\Rightarrow$ (ma)v = P [$\because$ F = ma]
$ \Rightarrow m\left[ {{{dv} \over {dt}}} \right]v = P \Rightarrow m\left[ {{{ds} \over {dt}}{{dv} \over {ds}}} \right]v = P$
$ \Rightarrow m\left[ {v{{dv} \over {ds}}} \right]v = P$
$ \Rightarrow 2{v^2}dv = ds$ {$\because$ P = 1 J/s and m = 2 kg}
Integrating both sides,
$\int\limits_0^3 {2{v^2}dv = \int\limits_0^s {ds \Rightarrow {2 \over 3}[{v^3}]_0^3 = 8} } $
${2 \over 3}[27 - 0] = s \Rightarrow s = 18$ m
Hence, after 9 s, the body has moved a distance of 18 m.
Explanation:
a = g sin 30 + $\mu $ g cos 30
We know, v2 = u2 + 2as
$ \Rightarrow $ 0 = $v_0^2$ - 2ad
$ \Rightarrow $ $v_0^2 = 2ad$
$d = {{v_0^2} \over {2a}}$
Total work done,
${W_f} = {k_f} - {k_i}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $ - 2\mu mg\,\cos 30{{v_0^2} \over {2a}} = {1 \over 2}m{{v_0^2} \over 4} - {1 \over 2}mv_0^2$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{ + \mu g\,\cos 30} \over a} = $${3 \over 8}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $8\mu g\,\cos 30 = 3g\,\sin 30 + 3\mu \,\cos 30$
$ \Rightarrow $ $5\mu g\,\cos 30 = 3g\,\sin 30$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\mu = {{3\tan 30} \over 5} = {{\sqrt 3 } \over 5}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{\sqrt 3 } \over 5} = {I \over {1000}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $I = 346$
Explanation:
= $\sqrt {2 \times 10 \times 20} $
= 20 m/s
Now work done by the machine,
WF = $\Delta $k
$ \Rightarrow $ F.d = $\Delta $k
$ \Rightarrow $ F = ${{\Delta k} \over d}$
= ${{{1 \over 2} \times 0.15 \times 400 - 0} \over {0.2}}$
= 150 N
A small block starts slipping down from a point B on an inclined plane AB, which is making an angle $\theta $ with the horizontal section BC is smooth and the remaining section CA is rough with a coefficient of friction $\mu $. It is found that the block comes to rest as it reaches the bottom (point A) of the inclined plane. If BC = 2AC, the coefficient of friction is given by $\mu $ = ktan $\theta $ . The value of k is _________.
Explanation:

Apply work energy theorem
Wg + Wf = $\Delta $kE
mgsin$\theta $ (AC + 2AC) – $\mu $mg cos$\theta $ $ \times $ AC = 0 - 0
$ \Rightarrow $ $\mu $ = 3tan $\theta $

= 1 × 10 × 2 – 1 × 10 × 1 = 10 J


When the distance of the piston from closed end is L = L0, the particle speed is v = v0. The piston is moved inward at a very low speed V such that $V < < {{dL} \over L}{v_0}$, where dL is the infinitesimal displacement of the piston. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation:
d = $\alpha $ydx + 2$\alpha $xdy
A$ \to $B, y = 1, dy = 0
then ${W_{A \to B}} = \int {\alpha ydx} $$ = \alpha 1\int_0^1 {dx} = \alpha $
B$ \to $C, x = 1, dx = 0
then ${W_{B \to C}} = 2\alpha 1\int_1^{0.5} {dy} = - 2\alpha (0.5) = - \alpha $
C$ \to $D, y = 0.5, dy = 0
then ${W_{C \to D}} = \int_1^{0.5} {\alpha ydx} = \alpha .{1 \over 2}\int_1^{0.5} {dx} = - {\alpha \over 4}$
D$ \to $E, x = 0.5, dx = 0
then ${W_{D \to E}} = 2\alpha \int {xdy} = 2\alpha .{1 \over 2}\int\limits_{0.5}^0 {dy} = - {\alpha \over 2}$
E$ \to $F, y = 0, dy = 0 then WEF = 0
F$ \to $A, x = 0, dx = 0 then WF$ \to $A = 0
$ \therefore $ $W = \alpha - \alpha - {\alpha \over 4} - {\alpha \over 2} = - {{3\alpha } \over 4}$
Given, $\alpha = - 1 $
$\Rightarrow W = {3 \over 4}J = 0.75J$
The first particle is at a distance r = 1, and the second, at r = 4. The best estimate for the ratio of kinetic energies of the first and the second particle is closest to :
Explanation:
After collision the 2.0 kg block will perform simple harmonic oscillation with time period
$T = 2\pi \sqrt {{m \over k}} $
Given m = 2.0 kg and k = 2.0 N m$-$1, we have
T = 2$\pi$
Thus, the block returns to its original position in time
$t = {T \over 2}$ = $\pi$ s
That is, t = 3.14 s
Now, if v1 and v2 are velocities of 1.0 kg block and 2.0 kg block, respectively, before collision; v'1 and v'2 are velocities of 1.0 kg block and 2.0 block, respectively, after collision. So, by conservation of momentum
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v'1 + m2v'2
Here, m1 = 1.0 kg, v1 is initial speed of 1.0 kg block = 2.0 m s$-$1, m2 = 2.0 kg, v2 is initial speed of 2.0 kg block = 0.0 m s$-$1, v'1 is final speed of 1.0 kg block after collision and v'2 is final speed of 2.0 kg block after collision. Then, 1.0 kg $\times$ 2.0 m/s + 2.0 kg $\times$ 0 m/s = 1.0 v'1 + 2.0 v'2
v'1 + 2v'2 = 2 ..... (1)
Also, using definition of coefficient of restitution
v'2 $-$ v'1 = $\varepsilon $(v1 $-$ v2)
Since collision is elastic, So $\varepsilon $ = 1
$\Rightarrow$ v'2 $-$ v'1 = v1 $-$ v2
$\Rightarrow$ v'2 $-$ v'1 = 2 $-$ 0
$\Rightarrow$ v'2 $-$ v'1 = 2 ...... (2)
From Eqs. (1) and (2), we get
$v{'_2} = {4 \over 3}$ m s$-$1 and $v{'_1} = {-2 \over 3}$ m s$-$1
Therefore, distance between the blocks is given as
$s = v{'_1} \times t = {{ - 2} \over 3} \times 3.14 = 2.09$ m

The value of the coefficient of friction $\mu $ and the distance $x$ $(=QR),$ are, respectively close to:
A particle of unit mass is moving along the x-axis under the influence of a force and its total energy is conserved. Four possible forms of the potential energy of the particle are given in Column I (a and U0 are constants). Match the potential energies in Column I to the corresponding statement(s) in Column II:

Explanation:
Work done by the gravitational force is ${W_g} = mgh\cos 180^\circ $
= $-$ mgh = $-$1 $\times$ 10 $\times$ 4 = $-$40 J
Work done by the applied force F
${W_F} = Fd\cos 0^\circ = Fd = 18 \times 5 = 90$ J
According to work-energy theorem
$\Delta$K = Wg + WF
$\Delta$K = $-$40 J + 90 J = 50 J = (5 $\times$ 10) J
$\therefore$ n = 5
Explanation:
To determine the minimum velocity required for the bob of mass $ m $ to complete a full circle in the vertical plane, we start with the condition at the bottommost point:
$ u = \sqrt{5 g l_1} \text{ (at point A)} $
At the highest point B, using the conservation of energy, we get:
$ \frac{1}{2} m u_1^2 = m g (2 l_1) + \frac{1}{2} m v_1^2 $
Simplifying, we have:
$ v_1^2 = u_1^2 - 4 g l_1 $
Substituting $ u_1 = \sqrt{5 g l_1} $:
$ v_1^2 = 5 g l_1 - 4 g l_1 $
$ v_1 = \sqrt{g l_1} $
When the bob at point B elastically collides with another identical mass that is initially at rest, the velocities swap due to the nature of elastic collisions. Thus, the second bob attains the velocity:
$ u_2 = v_1 = \sqrt{g l_1} $
For the second bob to complete its circular path, the minimum velocity requirement is:
$ u_2 = \sqrt{5 g l_2} = \sqrt{g l_1} $
$\therefore \frac{l_1}{l_2}=5$Explanation:
To determine the speed of a particle after $ t = 5 $ seconds, given a constant power, the following steps should be taken :
Power Equation: Power is the rate at which work is done, and work is the change in kinetic energy :
$ P = \frac{d(W)}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \right) $
Given Data :
Mass of the particle ($ m $) = 0.2 kg
Constant power ($ P $) = 0.5 W
Initial speed ($ v_0 $) = 0 m/s
Differentiating Kinetic Energy with Respect to Time :
$ P = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \right) = m v \frac{dv}{dt} $
Rearranging to Solve for $ v \frac{dv}{dt} $ :
$ 0.5 = 0.2 \cdot v \cdot \frac{dv}{dt} $
$ \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{5}{2v} $
Integrating Both Sides :
$ v \, dv = \frac{5}{2} \, dt $
$ \int v \, dv = \int \frac{5}{2} \, dt $
$ \frac{v^2}{2} = \frac{5t}{2} + C $
Applying Initial Condition (when $ t = 0 $, $ v = 0 $) :
$ 0 = \frac{5 \cdot 0}{2} + C $
$ C = 0 $
Solving for $ v $ :
$ \frac{v^2}{2} = \frac{5t}{2} $
$ v^2 = 5t $
$ v = \sqrt{5t} $
Speed After 5 Seconds :
$ v = \sqrt{5 \cdot 5} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \, \text{m/s} $
Thus, the speed of the particle after 5 seconds is 5 m/s.
The magnitude of the normal reaction that acts on the block at the point Q is
The speed of the block when it reaches the point Q is
If two springs ${S_1}$ and ${S_2}$ of force constants ${k_1}$ and ${k_2}$, respectively, are stretched by the same force, it is found that more work is done on spring ${S_1}$ than on spring ${S_2}$.
STATEMENT 1: If stretched by the same amount work done on ${S_1}$, Work done on ${S_1}$ is more than ${S_2}$
STATEMENT 2: ${k_1} < {k_2}$
A thin ring of mass 2 kg and radius 0.5 m is rolling without on a horizontal plane with velocity 1 m/s. A small ball of mass 0.1 kg, moving with velocity 20 m/s in the opposite direction hits the ring at a height of 0.75 m and goes vertically up with velocity 10 m/s. Immediately after the collision,

A block of mass 0.18 kg is attached to a spring of force-constant 2 N/m. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is 0.1. Initially the block is at rest and the spring is un-stretched. An impulse is given to the block as shown in the figure. The block slides a distance of 0.06 m and comes to rest for the first time. The initial velocity of the block in m/s is V = N/10. Then N is

Explanation:

Loss of kinetic energy $ = {1 \over 2}m{V^2}$
Work done against friction $ = \mu mgx$
Gain in potential energy $ = {1 \over 2}k{x^2}$
From work-energy principle,
${1 \over 2}m{V^2} = \mu mgx + {1 \over 2}k{x^2}$
$ \Rightarrow {1 \over 2} \times 0.18 \times {V^2} = 0.1 \times 0.18 \times 10 \times 0.06 + {1 \over 2} \times 2 \times {(0.06)^2}$
$ \Rightarrow V = 0.4 = {4 \over {10}}$ ms$-$1. Hence, N = 4.
