Figure (a) shows a spring of force constant k clamped rigidly at one end and a mass m attached to its free end. A force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure (b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. (b) is stretched by the same force F.
A particle with a charge of 5.0 µC and a mass of 5.0 × 10-12kg is projected with a speed of 1.0km s-1 in a magnetic field of magnitude 5.0mT. The angle between the magnetic field and the velocity is sin-1 (0.90). Show that the path of the particle will be a helix. Find the diameter of the helix and its pitch.
A cyclist is riding with a speed of 27km/h. As he approaches a circular turn on the road of radius 80m, he applies brakes and reduces his speed at the constant rate of 0.50m/s every second. What is the magnitude and direction of the net acceleration of the cyclist on the circular turn?
A rain drop of radius 2mm falls from a height of 500m above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until at half its original height, it attains its maximum (terminal) speed, and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey? What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is 10 m s-1?
