Numerical
A particle is moving in a circle of radius $\frac{1}{4}$ m with a linear speed of $2 \, ms^{-1}$ . Calculate the angular speed of a particle, in $rads^{-1}$ .
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
The angular speed is
$\omega = \frac {v}{r} = \frac {2}{0 . 2 5} = 8 \mathrm{rads} ^ {- 1}$
$\omega = \frac {v}{r} = \frac {2}{0 . 2 5} = 8 \mathrm{rads} ^ {- 1}$

A boy whirls a stone in a horizontal circle of radius 0.5 m and at height 20 m above level ground. The string breaks, and the stone flies off horizontally to strike the ground after travelling a horizontal distance of 10 m. Find the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration, in $ms^{-2}$ , of the stone while in circular motion. (Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$ )
Correct Answer: 50
Explanation:
Since $y = u_{y}t + \frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}$ , where $u_{y} = 0$ and $a_{y} = g$ , y = h.
So $h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ $\Rightarrow t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2(20)}{10}} = 2s$ Further since $x = u_{x}t + \frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}$ where $u_{x} = v$ (say), $a_{x} = 0$ , $x = 10 \, m$ , so $10 = vt = v(2)$ $\Rightarrow v = 5 \, ms^{-1}$ Since $a = \frac{v^{2}}{R}$ $\Rightarrow a = \frac{(5)^{2}}{0.5} = \frac{25}{0.5} = 50 \, ms^{-2}$ $\Rightarrow a = 50 \, ms^{-2}$
So $h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ $\Rightarrow t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2(20)}{10}} = 2s$ Further since $x = u_{x}t + \frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}$ where $u_{x} = v$ (say), $a_{x} = 0$ , $x = 10 \, m$ , so $10 = vt = v(2)$ $\Rightarrow v = 5 \, ms^{-1}$ Since $a = \frac{v^{2}}{R}$ $\Rightarrow a = \frac{(5)^{2}}{0.5} = \frac{25}{0.5} = 50 \, ms^{-2}$ $\Rightarrow a = 50 \, ms^{-2}$

Numerical
A highway curve is designed such that the cars travelling at a constant speed of $25 \, ms^{-1}$ must not have an acceleration that exceeds $3 \, ms^{-2}$ . Determine the minimum radius of curvature, in metre, of the curve to the nearest integer.
Correct Answer: 208
Explanation:
Since the car is travelling with a constant speed, its tangential component of acceleration is zero, i.e., $a_{T}=0$ . Thus,
$a = a _ {N} = \frac {v ^ {2}}{r}$
$\Rightarrow 3 = \frac {2 5 ^ {2}}{r}$
$\Rightarrow r = 2 0 8 \mathrm{m}$
$a = a _ {N} = \frac {v ^ {2}}{r}$
$\Rightarrow 3 = \frac {2 5 ^ {2}}{r}$
$\Rightarrow r = 2 0 8 \mathrm{m}$

At a given instant, a car travels along a circular curved road with a speed of $20 \, ms^{-1}$ while decreasing its speed at the rate of $3 \, ms^{-2}$ . If the magnitude of the car's acceleration is $5 \, ms^{-2}$ , determine the radius of curvature of the road, in metre.
Correct Answer: 100
Explanation:
Here, the car's tangential component of acceleration of $a_{T} = -3 \, \mathrm{ms}^{-2}$ . Thus,
$a = \sqrt {a _ {T} ^ {2} + a _ {N} ^ {2}}$
$\Rightarrow 5 = \sqrt {(- 3) ^ {2} + a _ {N} ^ {2}}$
$\Rightarrow a _ {N} = 4 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$
Since $a_{N} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$
$\Rightarrow 4 = \frac {2 0 ^ {2}}{r}$
$\Rightarrow r = 1 0 0 \mathrm{m}$
$a = \sqrt {a _ {T} ^ {2} + a _ {N} ^ {2}}$
$\Rightarrow 5 = \sqrt {(- 3) ^ {2} + a _ {N} ^ {2}}$
$\Rightarrow a _ {N} = 4 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$
Since $a_{N} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$
$\Rightarrow 4 = \frac {2 0 ^ {2}}{r}$
$\Rightarrow r = 1 0 0 \mathrm{m}$

Explanation:
Let the ball clear the point C at time $t_{1}$ . Then
$\begin{array}{r l r} & y = u _ {y} t + \frac {1}{2} a _ {y} t ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & (1 + 3. 9) = 0 + \frac {1}{2} (9. 8) t _ {1} ^ {2} & \left\{\because u _ {y} = 0 \right\} \\ \Rightarrow & 4. 9 = \frac {1}{2} (9. 8) t _ {1} ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & t _ {1} = 1 \mathrm{s} \\ \text {Since} & B C = u _ {x} t \\ \Rightarrow & 6 = u (1) \\ \Rightarrow & u = 6 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1} \end{array}$

$6 + x = 6 t\tag{... (1}$
$\text { Further } (1 + 3. 9 + 1 4. 7) = \frac {1}{2} (9. 8) t ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow t = 2 \mathrm{s}$

$\Rightarrow x = 6 \mathrm{m}$
$\begin{array}{r l r} & y = u _ {y} t + \frac {1}{2} a _ {y} t ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & (1 + 3. 9) = 0 + \frac {1}{2} (9. 8) t _ {1} ^ {2} & \left\{\because u _ {y} = 0 \right\} \\ \Rightarrow & 4. 9 = \frac {1}{2} (9. 8) t _ {1} ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & t _ {1} = 1 \mathrm{s} \\ \text {Since} & B C = u _ {x} t \\ \Rightarrow & 6 = u (1) \\ \Rightarrow & u = 6 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1} \end{array}$

Numerical
A particle is projected from a point at the foot of a fixed plane, inclined at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the horizontal, in the vertical plane containing the line of greatest slope through the point. If the particle strikes the plane at right angles and $\phi (>45^{\circ})$ is the angle of launch measured to the horizontal, then find the value of $\tan\phi$ .
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
At time $t = T = \frac{2u \sin(\phi - 45^{\circ})}{g \cos 45^{\circ}}$
component of velocity along the plane is zero.
$\Rightarrow 0 = u \cos (\phi - 4 5 ^ {\circ}) - (g \sin 4 5 ^ {\circ}) t$

$\Rightarrow u \cos (\phi - 4 5 ^ {\circ}) = (g \sin 4 5 ^ {\circ}) \left(\frac {2 u \sin (\phi - 4 5 ^ {\circ})}{g \cos 4 5 ^ {\circ}}\right)$
$\Rightarrow 2\tan (\phi -45^{\circ}) = \cot 45^{\circ} = 1$
$\Rightarrow 2 \left(\frac {\tan \phi - \tan 4 5 ^ {\circ}}{1 + \tan \phi \tan 4 5 ^ {\circ}}\right) = 1$
$\Rightarrow \tan \phi = 3$
component of velocity along the plane is zero.
$\Rightarrow 0 = u \cos (\phi - 4 5 ^ {\circ}) - (g \sin 4 5 ^ {\circ}) t$

$\Rightarrow u \cos (\phi - 4 5 ^ {\circ}) = (g \sin 4 5 ^ {\circ}) \left(\frac {2 u \sin (\phi - 4 5 ^ {\circ})}{g \cos 4 5 ^ {\circ}}\right)$
$\Rightarrow 2\tan (\phi -45^{\circ}) = \cot 45^{\circ} = 1$
$\Rightarrow 2 \left(\frac {\tan \phi - \tan 4 5 ^ {\circ}}{1 + \tan \phi \tan 4 5 ^ {\circ}}\right) = 1$

Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
As $y = x \tan \theta - \frac{gx^{2}}{2u^{2}}(1 + \tan^{2} \theta)$
for $(a, b)$ , i.e. when $x = a$ and $y = b$ , we have
$g a ^ {2} \tan^ {2} \theta - 2 a u ^ {2} \tan \theta + (g a ^ {2} + 2 b u ^ {2}) = 0$
This is a quadratic in $\tan\theta$ and since discriminant of a quadratic must be positive, so we have
$4 a ^ {2} u ^ {2} - 4 g a ^ {2} \left(g a ^ {2} + 2 b u ^ {2}\right) \geq 0$
Solving, we get
$u \geq \sqrt {b g + g \sqrt {a ^ {2} + b ^ {2}}}$
On substituting the values, we get
$u _ {\mathrm{min}} = 3 0 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
for $(a, b)$ , i.e. when $x = a$ and $y = b$ , we have
$g a ^ {2} \tan^ {2} \theta - 2 a u ^ {2} \tan \theta + (g a ^ {2} + 2 b u ^ {2}) = 0$
This is a quadratic in $\tan\theta$ and since discriminant of a quadratic must be positive, so we have

Two particles are simultaneously thrown from top of two towers as shown. Their velocities are $2 \, ms^{-1}$ and $14 \, ms^{-1}$ . Horizontal and vertical separation between these particles are 22 m and 9 m, respectively. Then the minimum separation between the particles in process of their motion in meters is $(g = 10 \, \text{ms}^{-2})$ .
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
$v_{x}=8\sqrt{2}$ ms $^{-1}$ is the relative velocity along x-axis
$\Rightarrow x = 2 2 - (8 \sqrt {2}) t$
$v_{y}=6\sqrt{2}$ ms $^{-1}$ is the relative velocity along y-axis
$\Rightarrow y = 9 - (6 \sqrt {2}) t$
$\Rightarrow \quad r ^ {2} = x ^ {2} + y ^ {2}$
For minimum r, we have $r^{2}$ to be minimum, so
$\frac {d}{d t} \big (r ^ {2} \big) = 0$
$\Rightarrow t = \frac {2 3}{1 0 \sqrt {2}} \mathrm{s}$
Substituting the value of t in equation (1), we get
$r _ {\mathrm{min}} = 6 \mathrm{m}$
$\Rightarrow x = 2 2 - (8 \sqrt {2}) t$
$v_{y}=6\sqrt{2}$ ms $^{-1}$ is the relative velocity along y-axis
$\Rightarrow y = 9 - (6 \sqrt {2}) t$
$\Rightarrow \quad r ^ {2} = x ^ {2} + y ^ {2}$
For minimum r, we have $r^{2}$ to be minimum, so
$\frac {d}{d t} \big (r ^ {2} \big) = 0$
$\Rightarrow t = \frac {2 3}{1 0 \sqrt {2}} \mathrm{s}$
Substituting the value of t in equation (1), we get
