Question
A lady cannot see objects closer than 40cm from the left eye and closer than 100cm from the right eye. While on a mountaineering trip, she is lost from her team. She tries to make an astronomical telscope from her reading glasses to look for her teammates.
  1. Which glass should she use as the eyepiece?
  2. What magnification can she get with relaxed eye?
✓

Answer

The lady can not see objects closer than 40cm from the left eye and 100cm from the right eye.

For the left glass lens,

v = -40cm,

u = -25cm 

$\therefore \frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{\text{u}}=\frac{1}{-40}-\frac{1}{-25}=\frac{1}{25}-\frac{1}{40}=\frac{3}{200}$

$\Rightarrow \text{f}=\frac{200}{3}\text{cm}$

For the right glass lens,

v = -100cm,

u = -25cm

$\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{\text{u}}=\frac{1}{-100}-\frac{1}{-25}=\frac{1}{100}=\frac{3}{100}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}=\frac{100}{3}\text{cm}$

  1. For an astronomical telescope, the eye piece lens should have smaller focal length. So, she should

use the right lens $\big(\text{f}=\frac{100}{3}\text{cm}\big)$ as the eye piece lens.

  1. With relaxed eye, (normal adjustment)

$\text{f}_0=\frac{200}{3}\text{cm}$

$\text{f}_\text{e}=\frac{100}{3}\text{cm}$

magnification $=\text{m}=\frac{\text{f}_0}{\text{f}_\text{e}}=\frac{\big(\frac{200}{3}\big)}{\big( \frac{100}{3}\big)}=2$

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.

PE of Spring

There are many types of spring. Important among these are helical and spiral springs as shown in figure.

Usually, we assume that the springs are massless. Therefore, work done is stored in the spring in the form of elastic potential energy of the spring. Thus, potential energy of a spring is the energy associated with the state of compression or expansion of an elastic spring.

Certain collisions are referred to as elastic collisions. Elastic collisions are collisions in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. The total system kinetic energy before the collision equals the total system kinetic energy after the collision. If total kinetic energy is not conserved, then the collision is referred to as an inelastic collision.
The coefficient of restitution, denoted by (e), is the measure of degree elasticity of collision. It is defined as the ratio of the final to inital relative speed between two objects after they collide. It normally ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 would be a perfectly elastic collision. A perfectly inelastic collision has a coefficient of 0 . In real life most of the collisions are neither perfectly elastic nor perfectly inealstic and $0< e <1$.

1. The following are the data of a collision between a truck and a car.
Mass of the car $=1000 kg$
Mass of the truck $=3000 kg$
Mass of the truck Before collision:
Speed of the car $=20 m / s$
Momentum of the car $=20000 kg m / s$
Speed of the truck $=20 m / s$
Momentum of the truck $=60000 kg m / s$
After collision:
Speed of the car $=40 m / s$ in the opposite direction
Momentum of the car $=40000 kg m / s$ in the opposite direction
Speed of the truck $=0$
Momentum of the truck $=0$
The collision is
(a) Both elastic since kinetic energy and momentum is conserved
(b) Elastic since momentum is conserved
(c) Inelastic since kinetic energy is conserved

Rolling Motion
The rolling motion can be regarded as the combination of pure rotation and pure translation. It is also one of the most common motions observed in daily life.

Suppose the rolling motion (without slipping) of a circular disc on a level surface. At any instant, the point of contact P0 of the disc with the surface is at rest (as there is no slipping). If v CM is the velocity of centre of mass which is the geometric centre C of the disc, then the translational velocity of disc is v CM , which is parallel to the level surface. Velocity of centre of mass, $\text{V}_\text{cm}=\text{R}\omega$
