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. The impact and deformation during collision may generate heat and sound. Part of the initial kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy. A useful way to visualize the deformation during collision is in terms of a ‘compressed spring’. If the ‘spring’ connecting the two masses regains its original shape without loss in energy, then the initial kinetic energy is equal to the final kinetic energy but the kinetic energy during the collision time Δt is not constant. Such a collision is called an elastic collision. On the other hand the deformation may not be relieved and the two bodies could move together after the collision. A collision in which the two particles move together after the collision is called a completely inelastic collision. The intermediate case where the deformation is partly relieved and some of the initial kinetic energy is lost is more common and is appropriately called an inelastic collision. If the initial velocities and final velocities of both the bodies are along the same straight line, then it is called a one-dimensional collision, or head-on collision. When two equal masses undergo a glancing elastic collision with one of them at rest, after the collision, they will move at right angles to each other.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. LAW OF ORBIT: The orbit of every planet is an ellipse around the sun with sun at one of the two foci of ellipse.
LAW OF AREAS: The line that joins a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time. Area covered by the planet while revolving around the sun will be equal in equal intervals of time. This means the rate of change of area with time is constant. LAW OF PERIOD: According to this law the square of time period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. Suppose earth is revolving around the sun then the square of the time period (time taken to complete one revolution around sun) is directly proportional to the cube of the semi major axis. It is known as Law of Periods as it is dependent on the time period of planets. Answer the following.

A plumb bob is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. If the train moves with an acceleration 'a' along a straight horizontal track, the string supporting the bob makes an angle $\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{g}}\Big)$ with the normal to the ceiling. Suppose the train moves on an inclined straight track with uniform velocity. If the angle of incline is $\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{g}}\Big),$ the string again makes the same angle with the normal to the ceiling. Can a person sitting inside the compartment tell by looking at the plumb line whether the train is accelerated on a horizontal straight track or it is going on an incline? If yes, how? If no, suggest a method to do so.
