MCQ
A cricketer can throw a ball to a maximum horizontal distance of $100 \,m$. With the same effort, he throws the ball vertically upwards. The maximum height attained by the ball is  ......... $m$
  • A
    $100$
  • B
    $80 $
  • C
    $60$
  • $50 $

Answer

Correct option: D.
$50 $
d
(d) Maximum range $ = \frac{{{u^2}}}{g} = 100\,m$
 Maximum height $ = \frac{{{u^2}}}{{2g}} = \frac{{100}}{2} = 50\,m$

When liquid medicine of density $\rho$ is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension $T$ when the radius of the drop is $\mathrm{R}$. When the force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.

$1.$ If the radius of the opening of the dropper is $\mathrm{r}$, the vertical force due to the surface tension on the drop of radius $R$ (assuming $\mathrm{r} \ll R$ ) is

$(A)$ $2 \pi r T$ $(B)$ $2 \pi R T$ $(C)$ $\frac{2 \pi r^2 T}{R}$ $(D)$ $\frac{2 \pi R^2 T}{r}$

$2.$ If $\mathrm{r}=5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}, \rho=10^3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}, \mathrm{~g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2, \mathrm{~T}=0.11 \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}$, the radius of the drop when it detaches from the dropper is approximately

$(A)$ $1.4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}$ $(B)$ $3.3 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}$

$(C)$ $2.0 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}$ $(D)$ $4.1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}$

$3.$ After the drop detaches, its surface energy is

$(A)$ $1.4 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~J}$ $(B)$ $2.7 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~J}$

$(C)$ $5.4 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~J}$ $(D)$ $8.1 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~J}$
