Correct Answer: +4 Wrong Answer: -1 Unattempted: 0
A car is moving on a road such that its engine delivers power proportional to velocity of the body. If initial velocity is zero, then distance travelled by the car is proportional to
p ∝ v and p = Fv, so F is constant. For constant force or acceleration, starting from rest, v² = u² + 2as. Hence the distance travelled is proportional to v².
A ball is thrown up with a certain velocity at an angle θ with the horizontal. Total mechanical energy of the ball varies with horizontal displacement x is
Total mechanical energy remains conserved. Therefore E does not change with horizontal displacement x, so the correct graph is a horizontal line.
Power applied to a particle varies with time t as P = (3t² - 2t + 1) watt where t is in second. Find the change in its kinetic energy between time t = 2 s and t = 4 s.
P = dW/dt and dW = dK. Therefore ΔK = ∫₂⁴(3t² - 2t + 1)dt = [t³ - t² + t]₂⁴ = 46 J.
A block of mass m falls on a spring from a height h. The spring constant of the spring is K, maximum compression x in the spring will be represented as
From conservation of mechanical energy, taking the platform as datum line: mgh = -mgx + 1/2 kx². Hence mg(h + x) = 1/2 kx².
Consider an oblique elastic collision between a moving ball and a stationary ball of same mass. Both the balls move with the same speed v after the collision and the angle between the direction of motion of two balls is 90°. The velocity of the moving ball is
From conservation of linear momentum, the two final momenta are perpendicular and each has magnitude mv. Their resultant is mv√2, so the initial speed of the moving ball is v√2.
A body of mass 1 kg is thrown upwards with a velocity of 30 m/s. It comes to rest after attaining a height of 40 m. How much energy is lost due to air friction?
Using the work-energy theorem: 0 - (1/2)(1)(30)² = work by gravity + work by air. Thus -450 = 10(-40) + W_air, so W_air = -50 J. The energy lost is 50 J.
A ball of mass M moving with speed v collides perfectly inelastically with another ball of mass m at rest. The magnitude of impulse imparted to the first ball is
After collision, MV = (M + m)V'. Thus V' = Mv/(M + m). Impulse on the first ball is the change in its momentum, whose magnitude is Mm v/(M + m).
A rigid body is rotating with variable angular velocity ω = (28 - 4t) radian/s. The total angle rotated by it before coming to rest will be
At rest, ω = 0, so 28 - 4t = 0 and t = 7 s. Angle θ = ∫₀⁷(28 - 4t)dt = 98 radians.
The decrease in gravitational potential energy during the first second after the system is released from rest. (where m = 1 kg and g = 10 m/s²)
For the two masses, a = g/3. In 1 s, S = (1/2)(g/3)(1)² = g/6. Taking the initial positions as datum line, ΔU = 2mg(-g/6) + mg(g/6) = -16.6 J.
A particle is rotated in a vertical circle by connecting it to a string of length l and keeping the other end of the string fixed. The minimum speed of the particle when the string is horizontal for which the particle will complete the circle
For completing the circle, the top condition is v² ≥ gl. Applying conservation of mechanical energy between horizontal position and top gives the required horizontal speed v = √(3gl).
A uniform sphere is placed on a smooth horizontal surface and a horizontal force F is applied on it at a distance h above the surface. The acceleration of the centre
The surface is smooth, so the motion of the centre of mass is translational under the applied horizontal force. The acceleration is independent of the point of application of force.
Figure shows a composite system of two uniform same material rods of lengths as indicated. Then the co-ordinates of the centre of mass of the system of rods are
For rods of same material, masses are proportional to lengths. Using the horizontal rod of mass m and vertical rod of mass 2m: X_cm = (m·L/2 + 2m·0)/3m = L/6 and Y_cm = (m·0 + 2m·L)/3m = 2L/3.
A solid sphere is under pure rolling on table. The fraction of its total kinetic energy associated with rotation is
For a solid sphere, I = 2/5 MR² and v = Rω. Fraction of rotational kinetic energy = (1/2 Iω²)/(1/2Mv² + 1/2Iω²) = (2/5)/(1 + 2/5) = 2/7.
A solid cylinder of mass m and radius r is rolling with angular speed ω on a horizontal plane. The magnitude of its angular momentum about origin is
Angular momentum about origin is L = Iω + mvr. For a solid cylinder I = 1/2 mr² and v = rω, so L = (1/2 mr²)ω + m(rω)r = 1.5mr²ω.
A sector is cut out of a disc of mass M and radius r. It is made to rotate about a line perpendicular to its plane and passing through the centre as shown. Its moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is
By additivity principle, the given remaining sector has moment of inertia I = (1/2)Mr² - (5/6)(1/2)Mr² = Mr²/12.
A rope of negligible mass is wound round a hollow cylinder of mass 3 kg and radius 40 cm. If the rope is pulled with a force of 30 N, the angular acceleration of the cylinder is
Using τ = Iα for the hollow cylinder: 30(0.4) = 3(0.4)²α. Hence α = 25 rad/s².
Which of the following is correct?
All the given statements are correct for pure rolling, perfect rolling on a horizontal road, and motion on a perfectly frictionless inclined plane.
In a given figure, rod is massless. X and Y are related as (T₁ = 2T₂).
Taking moments for equilibrium: T₁X = T₂Y. Given T₁ = 2T₂, so 2T₂X = T₂Y, hence 2X = Y.
What is the minimum coefficient of friction for a solid sphere to roll without slipping on an inclined plane of inclination θ?
For rolling without slipping on an incline, μ ≥ tanθ/(1 + R²/K²). For a solid sphere this gives μ ≥ (2/7)tanθ.

The rod lying on the axis contributes zero. The bottom rod contributes ML²/3 about one end, and the other vertical rod contributes ML² by the parallel-axis idea. Total I = ML²/3 + ML² = (4/3)ML².
A hollow sphere and a solid sphere having same mass and same radii are rolled down a rough inclined plane released from same height.
At the bottom, v ∝ 1/√(1 + K²/R²). The solid sphere has the smaller rotational inertia factor, so it reaches the bottom with greater speed.
A particle of mass 2 kg located at the position (i + j) m has a velocity 2(i - j) m/s. Its angular momentum about z-axis in kg-m²/s is
L = m(r × v). Here r = i + j, v = 2(i - j), and m = 2 kg. Thus r × v = -4k̂ and L = -8k̂.
A disc of mass 2 kg and radius 20 cm is rotating with angular velocity 30 rad/s. What is angular velocity, if a mass of 0.25 kg is put on the periphery of the disc?
By conservation of angular momentum: I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂. Initially I = 2(0.2)²/2. Finally I = 2(0.2)²/2 + 0.25(0.2)². Solving gives ω = 24 rad/s.
A cricket bat is cut at the location of its centre of mass as shown. Then
The centre of mass is closer to the heavier part. Since the cut is at the centre of mass shown near B, the bottom piece B has larger mass.
The potential energy of a particle of mass 1 kg moving along x-axis is given by U(x) = (x³/3 - x²) J. If total mechanical energy is 2 J, then maximum kinetic energy of the particle will be
For maximum kinetic energy, potential energy should be minimum. dU/dx = x² - 2x = 0 gives x = 0, 2. The minimum occurs at x = 2, where U = 8/3 - 4 = -4/3 J. Since U + K = 2 J, K_max = 2 + 4/3 = 3.33 J.
A ball is projected vertically upward with an initial velocity v at t = 0. The correct graph between potential energy U versus time t is
U = mgy and y = vt - (1/2)gt². Therefore U = mg(vt - 1/2 gt²), which is a parabola with downward concavity.

Two thin discs each of mass M and radius r meter are attached as shown in figure to form a rigid body. The rotational inertia of this body about an axis perpendicular to plane of disc B and passing through its center is
Using parallel-axis theorem: I = (1/2)MR² + [(1/2)MR² + M(2R)²] = 5MR².
A homogeneous disc with a radius 0.2 m and mass 5 kg rotates around an axis passing through its centre. The angular velocity of the rotation of the disc as a function of time is given by ω = 2 + 6t. The tangential force applied to the rim of the disc is
Angular acceleration α = dω/dt = 6 rad/s². Using FR = Iα with I = (1/2)(5)(0.2)², F = Iα/R = 3 N.
Two bodies of mass 1 kg and 5 kg moving towards each other with velocities 1 m/s and 4 m/s respectively collide head-on and stick together. The combined mass will move
The body with greater momentum decides the final direction. The 5 kg body has much larger momentum, so the combined mass moves in the direction of the heavier mass.
If the magnitudes of vectors A, B and C are 3, 4 and 5 units respectively, and A + B = C, then the angle between A and C is
From A + B = C, write B = C - A. Hence B² = C² + A² - 2AC cosθ. Substituting A = 3, B = 4, C = 5 gives cosθ = 0.6, so θ = cos⁻¹(0.6).
A body is initially at rest. It undergoes one dimensional motion with constant acceleration. The power delivered to it at time t is proportional to
For constant acceleration, v = at and force F = ma is constant. Power P = Fv = (ma)(at), so P ∝ t.
The relation between displacement x and time t for a body of mass 2 kg moving under the action of a force is x = t³/3, where x is in metre and t in second. The work done by the body in the first 2 seconds is
v = dx/dt = t². At t = 2 s, v = 4 m/s. By work-energy theorem, W = ΔK = (1/2)(2)(4²) - 0 = 16 J.
Three vectors A, B and C satisfy the relation A · B = 0 and A · C = 0. The vector A is parallel to
A is perpendicular to both B and C. Therefore A must be parallel to B × C.
Water is falling from a height of 100 m on the blades of a turbine at a rate of 100 kg s⁻¹. The power delivered to the turbine is nearly. (g = 10 ms⁻²)
P = d(mgh)/dt = (dm/dt)gh = 100 × 10 × 100 = 100000 W = 100 kW.
A ball whose kinetic energy is E is thrown at an angle of 45° with the horizontal. Its kinetic energy at the highest point of its flight will be
At the highest point only horizontal velocity remains: u cos45°. K = (1/2)m(u cos45°)² = (1/2)mu² × 1/2 = E/2.
In which collision is the momentum conserved?
Momentum remains conserved during all types of collisions if the system is isolated.
A block of mass 1.98 kg is hanging by a string of length 1 m. A bullet of mass 20 g hits it horizontally with speed v and gets absorbed by the block. The value of v for which the block will complete the vertical circle is
From conservation of linear momentum, 0.02v = (1.98 + 0.02)v'. For the block-bullet system to complete the vertical circle, v' ≥ √(5gl). With l = 1 m, this gives v ≈ 700 ms⁻¹.
The potential energy of a body U of mass 1 kg varies with position co-ordinates of the particle x(m) and y(m) as U = 3x + 4y. The acceleration of the particle is
Force F = -∇U = -3i - 4j. Since m = 1 kg, acceleration magnitude a = √(3² + 4²) = 5 ms⁻².
A disc of radius a under pure rolling has a constant velocity V of its centre of mass. The relative acceleration of topmost point 1 with respect to the instantaneous point 2 of rotation is
In pure rolling, the centripetal accelerations of the top and contact points relative to the centre are each V²/a in opposite directions. Therefore the relative acceleration of point 1 with respect to point 2 is 2V²/a.
A uniform rod of mass M and length L is pivoted at one of its ends. The rod is released from rest when it is in the horizontal position. The normal reaction at the pivot when the rod becomes vertical is
In the vertical position, N - Mg = M(L/2)ω². From conservation of mechanical energy, (1/2)(ML²/3)ω² = Mg(L/2), so ω² = 3g/L. Hence N = Mg + M(L/2)(3g/L) = 5Mg/2.
A particle of mass 4 kg moves on a line y = x + 3 with a velocity 6 m/s. The angular momentum of the particle about origin is (x and y are in metre)
The perpendicular distance from origin to the line y = x + 3 is 3/√2. Angular momentum L = mvr⊥ = 4 × 6 × (3/√2) = 36√2 J-s.
A hollow sphere of mass M and radius R is initially spinning about its centre of mass with angular velocity ω. It is now slowly placed on a rough horizontal surface. If the coefficient of friction between the body and the surface is μ, then the velocity of the centre of mass with which the body rolls is
For a hollow sphere, K²/R² = 2/3. The final angular speed for rolling becomes ω' = ω/(1 + R²/K²) = 2ω/5. Therefore v = Rω' = (2/5)ωR.
A block of mass M, length L and height H is kept at rest on a rough inclined plane of inclination α with the horizontal as shown. If μ is the coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane, then the block topples over if μ is
For toppling condition on the rough inclined plane, the required friction condition is mgsinθ < μmgcosθ, so μ > tanθ. Therefore μ must be greater than tanα.
A particle is under uniform circular motion with angular momentum L. If its kinetic energy is doubled and frequency of motion is halved, then new angular momentum is
Using K = L²/(2I) and L = Iω, we get L = 2K/ω. When K is doubled and frequency, hence ω, is halved, L' = 4L.
