MCQ
A particle is moving in a straight line with initial velocity and uniform acceleration $a$. If the sum of the distance travelled in $t^{\text {th }}$ and $( t +1)^{ th }$ seconds is $100 cm$, then its velocity after $t$ seconds, in $.........cm / s$, is
  • A
    $80$
  • $50$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $30$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$50$
b
(b) 

Sum of distance travelled in $t^{t h}$ and $(t+1)^{t h}$ seconds is $100 cm$

$u+\frac{a}{2}(2 t-1)+u+\frac{a}{2}(2(t+1)-1)=100$

$2 u+2 a t=100$

$u+a t=100 / 2$

$\Rightarrow v=50 cm / s$

A copper ring has a diameter of exactly $25 \,\,mm$ at its temperature of $0^o C$. An aluminium sphere has a diameter of exactly $25.05\,\, mm$ at its temperature of $100^o C$. The sphere is placed on top of the ring and two are allowed to come to thermal equilibrium, no heat being lost to the surrounding. The sphere just passes through the ring at the equilibrium temperature. The ratio of the mass of the sphere & ring is : (given : $\alpha_{Cu} = 17 × 10^{-6} /^o C, \alpha = 2.3 × 10^{-5} /^o C,$ specific heat of $Cu = 0.0923 Cal/g^o C$ and specific heat of $Al = 0.215 cal/g^o C$)
