Question
A collision experiment is done on a horizontal table kept in an elevator. Do you expect a change in the results if the elevator is accelerated up or down because of the noninertial character of the frame?
✓

Answer

Velocity and mass are only two components that affect collision between two bodies so in this change in acceleration due to gravity will not affect the collision between two bodies. (if kept horizontally)

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. Satellites in a circular orbits around the earth in the equatorial plane with T = 24 hours are called Geostationary Satellites. Clearly, since the earth rotates with the same period, the satellite would appear fixed from any point on earth. It takes very powerful rockets to throw up a satellite to such large heights above the earth but this has been done in view of the several benefits of many practical applications. Thus radio waves broadcast from an antenna can be received at points far away where the direct wave fails to reach on account of the curvature of the earth. Waves used in television broadcast or other forms of communication have much higher frequencies and thus cannot be received beyond the line of sight. A Geostationery satellite, appearing fixed above the broadcasting station can however receive these signals and broadcast them back to a wide area on earth. The INSAT group of satellites sent up by India is one such group of geostationary satellites widely used for telecommunications in India. Another class of satellites is called the Polar satellites. These are low altitude (500 to 800 km) satellites, but they go around the poles of the earth in a north-south direction whereas the earth rotates around its axis in an east-west direction. Since its time period is around 100 minutes it crosses any altitude many times a day. However, since its height h above the earth is about 500-800 km, a camera fixed on it can view only small strips of the earth in one orbit. Adjacent strips are viewed in the next orbit, so that in effect the whole earth can be viewed strip by strip during the entire day. These satellites can view polar and equatorial regions. at close distances with good resolution. Information gathered from such satellites is extremely useful for remote sensing, meterology as well as for environmental studies of the earth.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from (i) to (v). Relative Velocity Every motion is relative as it has to be observed with respect to an observer. Relative velocity is a measurement of velocity of an object with respect to other observer. It is defined as the time rate of change of relative position of one object with respect to another. For example, if rain is falling vertically with a velocity v, and a man is moving horizontally with $v_m$, the man can protect himself from the rain if he holds his umbrella in the direction of relative velocity of rain w.r.t. man.
