Question 10.
\nOn an open ground, a motorist follows a track that turns to his left by an angle of 60\u00b0 after every 500m. Starting from a given turn, specify the displacement of the motorist at the third, sixth and eighth turn. Compare the magnitude of the displacement with the total path length covered by the motorist in each case.
\nAnswer:
\nIn this problem, the path is regular hexagon ABCDEF of side length 500m let the motorist start from A.
\nThird turn : The motor cyclist will take the third turn at D. Displacement vector at D = \\(\\overrightarrow{A D}\\) Magnitude of this displacement
\n= 500 + 500 = 1000 m
\nTotal path length from A to D
\n= AB + BC + CD = 500 + 500 + 500 = 1500 m.
\nSixth turn : The motor cyclist takes the sixth turn at A. So displacement vector is null vector – Total path length
\n= AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + FA = 6 \u00d7 500 = 3000 m.

\nEighth turn : The motor cyclist takes the eighth turn at C. The displacement vector = \\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{AC}}\\), which is represented by the diagonal of the parallelogram ABCG.
\nSo, |\\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{AC}}\\)|
\n= \\(\\sqrt{(500)^2+(500)^2+2 \\times 500 \\times 500 \\times \\cos 60^{\\circ}}\\)
\n= \\(\\sqrt{(500)^2+(500)^2+250000}\\)

\n= \\(\\frac{1}{\\sqrt{3}}\\) = tan 30\u00b0 or \u03b2 = 30\u00b0
\nIt means \\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{AC}}\\) makes an angle 30\u00b0 with the initial direction.

\nAnswer:
\nHere, actual path length travelled, S = 23 km, displacement = 10 km, time taken, t = 28min = 28\/60h

\nR = \\(\\sqrt{v_{\\mathrm{r}}^2+v_{\\mathrm{w}}^2}=\\sqrt{35^2+12^2}\\) m s-1<\/sup> = 37 m s-1<\/sup>
\nThe direction \u03b8 that R makes with the vertical is given by
\ntan \u03b8 = \\(\\frac{v_w}{v_r}=\\frac{12}{35}\\) = 0343
\nOr, \u03b8 = tan-1<\/sup> (0.343) = 19\u00b0
\nTherefore, the boy should hold his umbrella in the vertical plane at an a glass about 19\u00b0 with vertical towards the east.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nFine, the magnitude and direction of the resultant of two vectors A and B in terms of their magnitudes and angle \u03b8 between them.
\n\"AP
\nAnswer:
\nLet OP and OQ represent the two vectors A and B making an angle \u03b8 (fig.). Then using the parallelogram method of vector addition, OS represents the vector R :
\nR = A + B
\nSN is normal to OP and PM is normal to OS.
\nFrom the geometry of the figure,
\nOS2<\/sup> = ON2<\/sup> + SN2<\/sup>
\nbut ON = OP + PN = A + B cos \u03b8
\nSN = B sin \u03b8
\nOS2<\/sup> = (A + B cos \u03b8)2<\/sup> + (B sin \u03b8)2<\/sup>
\nor, R2<\/sup> = A2<\/sup> + B2<\/sup> + 2AB cos \u03b8
\nR = \\(\\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2 A B \\cos \\theta}\\) …………….. (1)
\nIn \u2206 OSN, SN = OS sin \u03b1 = R sin \u03b1, and in \u2206 PSN, SN = PS sin \u03b8 = B sin \u03b8
\nTherefore, R sin \u03b8 = B sin \u03b8
\n\"AP
\nEquation (1) gives the magnitude of the resultant and Eqs. 5 & 6 its direction. Equation ((1) a) is known as the Law of ‘ cosines and Eq. (4) as the Law of sines.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nA motorboat is racing towards north at 25 km\/h and the water current in that region is 10 km\/h in the direction of 60\u00b0 east of south. Find the resultant velocity of the boat.
\nAnswer:
\nThe vector vb representing the velocity of the motorboat and the vector vc<\/sub> representing the water current are shown in Fig. in directions specified by the problem. Using the parallelogram method of addition, the resultant R is obtained in the direction shown in the figure.

Question 4.
\nThe position of a particle is given by r =\\(3.0 t \\overline{\\mathrm{i}}+2.0 \\overline{\\mathrm{j}}^2 \\mathrm{j}+5.0 \\overline{\\mathrm{K}}\\) where t is in seconds and the coefficients have the proper units for r to he in metres. (a) Find v(t) and a(t) of the particle. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of v(t) at t = 1.0 s.
\nAnswer:
\nv(t) = \\(\\frac{d r}{d t}=\\frac{d}{d t}\\left(3.0 t \\hat{i}+2.0 t^2 \\hat{j}+5.0 \\hat{k}\\right)\\)

\na = 4.0 ms-2<\/sup> along y-direction
\nAt t = 1.0 s, v = \\(3.0 \\hat{\\mathrm{i}}+4.0 \\hat{\\mathrm{j}}\\)
\nIt’s magnitude is v = \\(\\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\) = 5.0 m s-1<\/sup> and direction is

Question 5.
\nA particle starts from origin at t = 0 with a velocity 5.0 \\(\\hat{\\mathrm{i}}\\) m\/s and moves in x-y plane under action of a force which produces a constant acceleration of (3.0 \\(\\hat{\\mathrm{i}}\\) + 2.0\\(\\hat{\\mathrm{j}}\\)) m\/s2<\/sup>.
\n(a) What is the y- coordinate of the particle at the instant its x-co-ordinate is 84 m ?
\n(b) What is the speed of the particle at this time?
\nAnswer:
\nThe position of the particle is given by
\nr(t) = v0<\/sub>t + \\(\\frac{1}{2}\\) at2<\/sup>
\n= \\(5.0 \\hat{i} t+(1 \/ 2)(3.0 \\hat{i}+2.0 \\hat{j}) t^2\\)
\n= \\(\\left(5.0 t+1.5 t^2\\right) \\hat{i}+1.0 t^2 \\hat{j}\\)
\nTherefore, x(t) = 5.0t + 1.5 t2<\/sup>
\ny(t) = + 1.0t2<\/sup>
\nGivn x(t) = 84m, t =?
\n5.0 t + 1.5 t2<\/sup> = 84 \u21d2 t = 6s
\nAt t = 6 s, y = 1.0 (6)2<\/sup> = 36.0 m
\nNow the velocity v = \\(\\frac{\\mathrm{dr}}{\\mathrm{dt}}\\)
\n= (5.0 + 3.0t)\\(\\hat{\\mathrm{i}}+2.0 \\mathrm{t} \\hat{\\mathrm{j}}\\)

Question 6.
\nRain is falling vertically with a speed of 35 m s-1<\/sup>. A woman rides a bicycle with a speed of 12 m s-1<\/sup> in east to west direction. What is the direction in which she should hold her umbrella?
\nAnswer:
\nIn Fig. vr<\/sub> represents the velocity of rain and vb<\/sub>, the velocity of the bicycle, the woman is riding. Both these velocities are with respect to the ground. Since the woman is riding a bicycle, the velocity of rain as experienced by
\n\"AP
\nher is the velocity of rain relative to the velocity of the bicycle she is riding. That is
\nvrb<\/sub> = vr<\/sub> – vb<\/sub>
\nThis relative velocity vector as shown in Fig. makes an angle \u03b8 with the vertical. It is given by
\ntan \u03b8 = \\(\\frac{v_{\\mathrm{b}}}{v_{\\mathrm{r}}}=\\frac{12}{35}\\) = 0.343 or, \u03b8 \u2245 19\u00b0
\nTherefore, the woman should hold her umbrella at an angle of about 19\u00b0 with the vertical towards the west.<\/p>\n

Note carefully the difference between this example and the Example 1. In Example 1, the boy experiences the resultant (vector sum) of two velocities while in this example, the woman experiences the velocity of rain relative to the bicycle (the vector difference of the two velocities).<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\nGalileo, in his book Two new sciences, stated that “for elevations which exceed or fall short of 45\u00b0 by equal amounts, the ranges are equal”. Prove this statement.
\nAnswer:
\nFor a projectile launched with velocity v0<\/sub> at an angle \u03b80<\/sub>, the range is given by
\nR = \\(\\frac{v_0^2 \\sin 2 \\theta_0}{g}\\)
\nNow, for angles, (45\u00b0 + \u03b1) and (45\u00b0 – \u03b1), 2\u03b80<\/sub> is (90\u00b0 + 2\u03b1) and (90\u00b0 – 2\u03b1), respectively. The values of sin (90\u00b0 + 2\u03b1) and sin (90\u00b0 – 2\u03b1), are the same, equal to that of cos 2a. Therefore, ranges are equal for elevations which exceed or fall short of 45\u00b0 by equal amounts \u03b1.<\/p>\n

Question 8.
\nA hiker stands on the edge of a cliff 490 m above the ground and throws a stone horizontally with an initial speed of 15 ms-1<\/sup>. Neglecting air resistance, find the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and the speed with which it hits the ground. (Take g = 9.8m s-2<\/sup>).
\nAnswer:
\nWe choose the origin of the x , and y – axis at the edge of the cliff and t = 0 s at the instant the stone is thrown. Choose the positive direction of x-axis to be along the initial velocity and the positive direction of y-axis to be the vertically upward direction. The x, and y- components of the motion can be treated independently. The equations of motion are :
\nx (t) = x0<\/sub> + \u03c50x<\/sub>t
\ny (t) = y0<\/sub> + \u03c50y<\/sub> t + (1\/2) ay<\/sub> t2<\/sup>
\nHere, x0<\/sub> = y0<\/sub> = 0, \u03c50y<\/sub> = 0, ay<\/sub> = – g = -9.8m s-2<\/sup>, \u03c50x<\/sub> = 15 m s-1<\/sup>.
\nThe stone hits the ground when y(t) = – 490 m.
\n– 490 m = – (1\/2) (9.8) t2<\/sup>.
\nThis gives t = 10 s.
\nThe velocity components are \u03c5x<\/sub> = \u03c50x<\/sub> and \u03c5y<\/sub> = \u03c50y<\/sub> – g t
\nso that when the stone hits the ground :
\nu0x<\/sub> = 15 m s-1<\/sup>
\nu0y<\/sub> = 0 – 9.8 \u00d7 10 = -98 m s-1<\/sup>
\nTherefore, the speed of the stone is
\n\\(\\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\\sqrt{15^2+98^2}\\) = 99 m s-1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\nAnswer:
\na) The maximum height is given by
\nhm<\/sub> = \\(\\frac{\\left(v_0 \\sin \\theta_0\\right)^2}{2 g}=\\frac{\\left(28 {in} 30^{\\circ}\\right)^2}{2(9.8)}\\) m

b) The time taken to return to the same level is

\n= 28 \/ 9.8 s = 2.9 s<\/p>\n

c) The distance from the thrower to the point where the ball returns to the same level is
\nR = \\(\\frac{\\left(v_0^2 \\sin 2 \\theta_0\\right)}{g}=\\frac{28 \\times 28 \\times \\sin 60^{\\circ}}{9.8}\\)

Question 10.
\nAn insect trapped in a circular groove of radius 12 cm moves along the groove steadily and completes 7 revolutions in 100 s, (a) What is the angular speed and the linear speed of the motion ? (b) Is the acceleration vector a constant vector ? What is its magnitude ?
\nAnswer:
\nThis is an example nf uniform circular motion. Here R = 12 cm. The angular speed \u03c9 is given by
\n\u03c9 = 2\u03c0\/T = 2\u03c0 \u00d7 7\/100 = 0.44 rad\/s ,
\nThe linear speed \u03c5 is :
\n\u03c5 = \u03c9 R = 0.44 s-1<\/sup> \u00d7 12 cm = 5.3 cm s-1<\/sup>
\nThe direction of velocity v is along the tangent to the circle at every point. The acceleration is directed towards the centre of the circle. Since this direction changes continuously, acceleration here is not a constant vector. However, the magnitude of acceleration is constant :
\na – \u03c92<\/sup> R = (0.44 s-1<\/sup>)2<\/sup> (12 cm)
\n= 2.3 cm s-2<\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
