A bob is whirled in a horizontal circle by means of a string at an initial speed of $10 \mathrm{~rpm}$. If the tension in the string is quadrupled while keeping the radius constant, the new speed is:
A.
20 rpm
B.
40 rpm
C.
5 rpm
D.
10 rpm
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between the tension in the string and the speed of the bob whirling in a horizontal circle. The centripetal force acting on the bob is provided by the tension in the string, and it can be given by the formula:
$ F = \frac{m v^2}{r} $
where:
F is the centripetal force (or tension in the string)
m is the mass of the bob
v is the tangential speed of the bob
r is the radius of the circle
According to the problem, the initial speed of the bob is $10 \mathrm{~rpm}$, and the radius is kept constant. Let’s denote the initial tension in the string as $T_1$ and the new tension as $T_2$. Given that the tension in the string is quadrupled, we have:
$ T_2 = 4 T_1 $
Also, the centripetal force can be written in terms of tension:
$ T_1 = \frac{m v_1^2}{r} $
$ T_2 = \frac{m v_2^2}{r} $
By substituting $T_2 = 4 T_1$ into the second equation, we get:
Let $\omega_1, \omega_2$ and $\omega_3$ be the angular speed of the second hand, minute hand and hour hand of a smoothly running analog clock, respectively. If $x_1, x_2$ and $x_3$ are their respective angular distances in 1 minute then the factor which remains constant $(k)$ is

A horizontal bridge is built across a river. A student standing on the bridge throws a small ball vertically upwards with a velocity $4 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. The ball strikes the water surface after $4 \mathrm{~s}$. The height of bridge above water surface is (Take $g=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$ )
A cricket ball is thrown by a player at a speed of 20 m/s in a direction 30$^\circ$ above the horizontal. The maximum height attained by the ball during its motion is
A ball is projected with a velocity, 10 ms$-$1, at an angle of 60$^\circ$ with the vertical direction. Its speed at the highest point of its trajectory will be
A.
Zero
B.
5$\sqrt3$ ms$-$1
C.
5 ms$-$1
D.
10 ms$-$1
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
At highest point vertical component of velocity become zero.
At highest point speed of object = 10cos30$^\circ$
A particle moving in a circle of radius R with a uniform speed takes a time T to complete one revolution.
If this particle were projected with the same speed at an angle '$\theta$' to the horizontal, the maximum height attained by it equals 4R. The angle of projection, $\theta$, is then given by :
A car starts from rest and accelerates at 5m/s2. At t = 4 s, a ball is dropped out of a window by a person sitting in the car. What is the velocity and acceleration of the ball at t = 6 s? (Take g = 10 m/s2)
A.
20$\sqrt 2 $ m/s, 10 m/s2
B.
20 m/s, 5 m/s2
C.
20 m/s, 0
D.
20$\sqrt 2 $ m/s, 0
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
u = 0
a = 5
t = 4
velocity of car at t = 4 sec is
V = u + at
V = 0 + 5 $\times$ 4
V = 20 m/s
For ball :
At t = 4 s, A ball is dropped out of a window so
velocity of ball at this instant is 20 ms–1 along
horizontal.
After 2 seconds of motion :
Horizontal velocity of ball , Vx = 20 m/sec
Vy = u + ut
= 10 $\times$ 2
Vertical velocity of ball, Vy = 20 m/sec
So magnitude of velocity of ball
V = $\sqrt {V_x^2 + V_y^2} $ = 20$\sqrt 2 $
and Acceleration of ball at t = 6 s is g = 10 m/sec2
As ball is under free fall.
When an object is shot from the bottom of a long smooth inclined plane kept at an angle 60o with horizontal, it can travel a distance x1 along the plane. But when the inclination is decreased to 30o and the same object is shot with the same velocity, it can travel x2 distance. Then x1 : x2 will be :
A.
1 : $\sqrt 2 $
B.
$\sqrt 2 $ : 1
C.
1 : $\sqrt 3 $
D.
1 : 2$\sqrt 3 $
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Assume initial velocity = u
In first case, Moved distance, (x1) = ${{{u^2}} \over {2g\sin {{60}^o}}}$
In second case, Moved distance, (x2) = ${{{u^2}} \over {2g\sin {{30}^o}}}$
The x and y coordinates of the particle at any time are x = 5t $-$ 2t2 and y = 10t respectively, where x and y are in metres and t in seconds. The acceleration of the particle at t = 2 s is
In the given figure, a = 15 m s$-$2 represents the total acceleration of particle moving in the clockwise direction in a circle of radius R = 2.5 m at a given instant of time. The speed of the particle is
A particle moves so that its position vector is given by $\overrightarrow r = \cos \omega t\,\widehat x + \sin \,\omega t\,\widehat y,$ where $\omega $ is a constant.
Which of the following is true?
A.
Velocity is perpendicular to $\overrightarrow r $ and acceleration is directed towards the origin.
B.
Velocity is perpendicular to $\overrightarrow r $ and acceleration is directed away from the origin.
C.
Velocity and acceleration both are perpendicular to $\overrightarrow r $
D.
Velocity and acceleration both are parallel to $\overrightarrow r $
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
$\overrightarrow r = \cos \omega t\,\widehat x + \sin \,\omega t\,\widehat y,$
$ \therefore $ $\overrightarrow v = - \omega \sin \omega t\widehat x + \omega \cos \omega t\widehat y$
and $\overrightarrow a = - {\omega ^2}\cos \omega t\widehat x - {\omega ^2}\sin \omega t\widehat y$ = $ - {\omega ^2}\overrightarrow r $
$\overrightarrow r .\overrightarrow v $ = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ $\overrightarrow r \bot \overrightarrow v $
As position vector $\left( {\overrightarrow r } \right)$ is directly away from the origin, so, acceleration ($ - {\omega ^2}\overrightarrow r $) is directed towards the origin.
If vectors $\overrightarrow A = \cos \omega t\widehat i + \sin \omega t\widehat j$ and $\overrightarrow B = \cos {{\omega t} \over 2}\widehat i + \sin {{\omega t} \over 2}\widehat j$ are functions of time, then the value of t at which they are orthogonal to each other is
A.
$t = {\pi \over \omega }$
B.
t $=$ 0
C.
$t = {\pi \over {4\omega }}$
D.
$t = {\pi \over {2\omega }}$
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Two vectors $\overline A $ and $\overline B $ are orthogonal to
each other, if their scalar product is zero
i.e. $\overline A $.$\overline B $ = 0.
Here, $\overline A = \cos \omega t\widehat i + \sin \omega t\widehat j$
and $\overline B = \cos {{\omega t} \over 2}\widehat i + \sin {{\omega t} \over 2}\widehat j$
$ \therefore \overline A .\overline B = \left( {\cos \omega t\widehat i + \sin \omega t\widehat j} \right)\left( {\cos {{\omega t} \over 2}\widehat i + \sin {{\omega t} \over 2}\widehat j} \right)$
The positions vector of a particle $\overrightarrow R $ as a function of time is given by $\overrightarrow R $ = 4sin(2$\pi $t)$\widehat i$ + 4cos(2$\pi $t)$\widehat j$. Where R is in meters, t is in seconds and $\widehat i$ and $\widehat j$ denote unit vectors along x-and y-directions, respectively. Which one of the following statements is wrong for the motion of particle?
A.
Magnitude of the velocity of particle is 8 meter/second.
B.
Path of the particle is a circle of radius 4 meter.
C.
Acceleration vector is along $-$$\overrightarrow R $.
D.
Magnitude of acceleration vector is ${{{v^2}} \over R}$ where v is the velocity of particle.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Here, $\overrightarrow R = 4\sin \left( {2\pi t} \right)\widehat i + 4\cos \left( {2\pi t} \right)\widehat j$
The velocity of the particle is
$\overrightarrow v = {{d\overrightarrow R } \over {dt}} = {d \over {dt}}\left[ {4\sin \left( {2\pi t} \right)\widehat i + 4\cos \left( {2\pi t} \right)\widehat j} \right]$
$ = 8\pi cos\left( {2\pi t} \right)\widehat i - 8\pi sin\left( {2\pi t} \right)\widehat j$

${\overrightarrow V _B} = 10\left( {\widehat j} \right)$
A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5 m s$-$1 and angle $\theta $
with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of 3 m s$-$1 at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is (in m s$-$2) is
(Given g = 9.8 m s$-$2)
where $\theta $ is the angle of projection and u is the
velocity with which projectile is projected.
For equal trajectories and for same angles of
projection,
${g \over {{u^2}}}$ = constant
According to the question, ${{9.8} \over {{5^2}}} = {{g'} \over {{3^2}}}$
where g' is acceleration due to gravity on the planet.
A particle is moving such that is position coordinates (x, y) are (2 m, 3 m) at time t = 0, (6 m, 7 m)
at time t = 2 s and (13 m, 14 m) at time t = 5 s.
Average velocity vector $\left( {{{\overrightarrow v }_{av}}} \right)$ from t = 0 to t = 5 s is
A.
${1 \over 5}\left( {13\widehat i + 14\widehat j} \right)$
B.
${7 \over 3}\left( {\widehat i + \widehat j} \right)$
C.
$2\left( {\widehat i + \widehat j} \right)$
D.
${11 \over 5}\left( {\widehat i + \widehat j} \right)$
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
$\overrightarrow {{v_{av}}} = {{\Delta \overrightarrow r \,(displacement)} \over {\Delta t\,(time\,taken)}}$
Vectors $\overrightarrow A ,\overrightarrow B $ and $\overrightarrow C $ are such that $\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow B = 0$ and $\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow C = 0$. Then the vector parallel to $\overrightarrow A $ is
A.
$\overrightarrow A \times \overrightarrow B $
B.
$\overrightarrow B + \overrightarrow C $
C.
$\overrightarrow B \times \overrightarrow C $
D.
$\overrightarrow B $ and $\overrightarrow C $
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Vector triple product of three vectors $\overrightarrow A $, $\overrightarrow B $ and $\overrightarrow C $ is
$\overrightarrow A \times \left( {\overrightarrow B \times \overrightarrow C } \right) = \left( {\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow C } \right)\overrightarrow B - \left( {\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow B } \right)\overrightarrow C $
Given: $\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow B = 0,\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow C = 0$
$ \therefore $$\overrightarrow A \times \left( {\overrightarrow B \times \overrightarrow C } \right) = 0$
Thus the vector $\overrightarrow A $
is parallel to vector ${\overrightarrow B \times \overrightarrow C }$
.
The velocity of a projectile at the initial point A is $\left( {2\widehat i + 3\widehat j} \right)$ m/s. It's velocity (in m/s) at point B is
A.
$2\widehat i - 3\widehat j$
B.
$2\widehat i + 3\widehat j$
C.
$-$$2\widehat i - 3\widehat j$
D.
$-$$2\widehat i + 3\widehat j$
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
At point B X component of velocity remains
unchanged while Y component reverses its
direction.
$ \therefore $ The velocity of the projectile at point B is
$2\widehat i - 3\widehat j$ m/s.
A particle has initial velocity $\left( {2\overrightarrow i + 3\overrightarrow j } \right)$ and acceleration $\left( {0.3\overrightarrow i + 0.2\overrightarrow j } \right)$. The magnitude of velocity after 10 seconds will be
A.
$9\sqrt 2 $
B.
$5\sqrt 2 $
C.
5 units
D.
9 units
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
$\overrightarrow P $ = vector sum = $\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B $
$\overrightarrow Q $ = Vector differences = $\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B $
Since $\overrightarrow P $ and $\overrightarrow Q $ are perpendicular
$ \therefore $ $\overrightarrow P .\overrightarrow Q = 0 \Rightarrow \left( {\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B } \right).\left( {\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B } \right) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow {A^2} = {B^2} = \left| {\overrightarrow A } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow B } \right|$
A projectile is fired at an angle of 45o with the horizontal. Elevation angle of the projectile at its highest point as seen from the point of projection, is
A.
45o
B.
60o
C.
tan$-$1 $\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)$
D.
tan$-$1 $\left( {{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} \right)$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Let $\phi $ be elevation angle of the projectile at its
highest point as seen from the point of projection
O and $\theta $ be angle of projection with the horizontal.
From figure, tan$\phi $ = ${H \over {R/2}}$ ....(1)
In case of projectile motion
Maximum height H = ${{{u^2}{{\sin }^2}\theta } \over {2g}}$
Horizontal range, R = ${{{u^2}\sin \theta } \over g}$
Substituting these values of H and R in (1), we get
A body is moving with velocity 30 m/s towards east . After 10 seconds its velocity becomes 40 m/s towards north. The average acceleration of the body is
A.
1 m/s2
B.
7 m/s2
C.
$\sqrt 7 $ m/s2
D.
5 m/s2
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Velocity towards east direction, $\overrightarrow {{v_1}} = 30\widehat i$ m/s
Velocity towards north direction, $\overrightarrow {{v_2}} = 40\widehat j$ m/s
Change in velocity, $\Delta \overrightarrow v = {\overrightarrow v _2} - {\overrightarrow v _1}$ = $\left( {40\widehat j - 30\widehat i} \right)$

B.
$\overrightarrow d + \overrightarrow c = \overrightarrow f $
C.
$\overrightarrow d + \overrightarrow e = \overrightarrow f $
D.
$\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow e = \overrightarrow f $

which the particle makes
with an x-axis.
$\overrightarrow A $ and $\overrightarrow B $ are two vectors and $\theta $ is the angle between them, if $\left| {\overrightarrow A \times \overrightarrow B } \right| = \sqrt 3 \left( {\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow B } \right),$ the value of $\theta $ is
A.

B.
30o
C.
90o
D.

$\left| {\overrightarrow A \times \overrightarrow B } \right| = \sqrt 3 \left( {\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow B } \right)$
The vectors $\overrightarrow A $ and $\overrightarrow B $ are such that $\left| {\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B } \right|.$ The angle between the two vectors is
A.
45o
B.
90o
C.
60o
D.
75o
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
${\left| {\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B } \right|^2} = {\left| {\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B } \right|^2}$
$ = {\left| {\overrightarrow A } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow B } \right|^2} + 2\overrightarrow A \overrightarrow B = {A^2} + {B^2} + 2AB\cos \theta $
$ = {\left| {\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B } \right|^2} = {\left| {\overrightarrow A } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow B } \right|^2} - 2\overrightarrow A .\overrightarrow B $
For angles of projection of a projectile at angle (45o $-$ $\theta $) and (45o + $\theta $), the horizontal range described by the projectile are in the ratio of
A.
2 : 1
B.
1 : 1
C.
2 : 3
D.
1 : 2.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
(45º – $\theta $) & (45º + $\theta $) are complementary
angles as 45º – $\theta $ + 45º + $\theta $ = 90º. We know that if
angle of projection of two projectiles make
complementary angles, their ranges are equal.
In this case also, the range will be same. So the
ratio is 1 : 1.

A.
BA2sin$\theta $
B.
BA2cos$\theta $
C.
BA2sin$\theta $cos$\theta $
D.
zero.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Let $\overrightarrow A \times \overrightarrow B = \overrightarrow C $
The cross product of $\overrightarrow B $ and $\overrightarrow A $ is perpendicular
to the plane containing $\overrightarrow A $
and $\overrightarrow B $
i.e. perpendicular
to $\overrightarrow B $
If a dot product of this cross product and $\overrightarrow A $ is taken, as
the cross product is perpendicular to $\overrightarrow A $, $\overrightarrow C $ $ \times $ $\overrightarrow A $ = 0
Therefore product of $\left( {\overrightarrow A \times \overrightarrow B } \right) \times \overrightarrow A = 0$

A particle A is dropped from a height and another particle B is projected in horizontal direction with speed of 5/sec from the same height then correct statement is
A.
particle A will reach at ground first with respect to particle B
B.
particle B will reach at ground first with respect to particle A
C.
both particles will reach at ground simultaneously
D.
both particles will reach at ground with same speed.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Time required to reach the ground is
dependent on the vertical motion of the particle.
Vertical motion of both the particles A and B are
exactly same. Although particle B has an initial
velocity, but that is in horizontal direction and it
has no component in vertical (component of a vector
at a direction of 90o = 0) direction. Hence they will
reach the ground simultaneously.
If $\left| {\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow A } \right| + \left| {\overrightarrow B } \right|$ then angle between A and B will be
A.
90o
B.
120o
C.
0o
D.
60o.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
$\left| {\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow A } \right| + \left| {\overrightarrow B } \right|$
if $\overrightarrow A \parallel \overrightarrow B $.
$ \therefore $ $\theta $ = 0o
