Question
Gas molecules move in random motion inside the container. The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the continuous collision of the molecules against the walls of the container. Due to this continuous collision, the walls experience a continuous force which is equal to the total momentum imparted to the walls per second.

An elevator is descending with uniform acceleration. To measure the acceleration, a person in the elevator drops a coin at the moment the elevator starts. The coin is 6ft above the floor of the elevator at the time it is dropped. The person observes that the coin strikes the floor in 1 second. Calculate from these data the acceleration of the elevator.
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.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. When a body is subjected to a deforming force, a restoring force is developed in the body. This restoring force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the applied force. The restoring force per unit area is known as stress. If F is the force applied normal to the cross–section and A is the area of cross section of the body. Magnitude of the stress $=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}$ The SI unit of stress is $N-m^{-2}$ or Pascal (Pa) and its dimensional formula is $[ML^{-1} T^{-2}]$. The restoring force per unit area in this case is called tensile stress. If the cylinder is compressed under the action of applied forces, the restoring force per unit area is known as compressive stress. Tensile or compressive stress can also be termed as longitudinal stress. In both the cases, there is a change in the length of the cylinder. The change in the length ΔL to the original length L of the body is known as longitudinal strain. The restoring force per unit area developed due to the applied tangential force is known as tangential or shearing stress.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. Work
A farmer ploughing the field, a construction worker carrying bricks, a student studying for a competitive examination, an artist painting a beautiful landscape, all are said to be working. In physics, however, the word ‘Work’ covers a definite and precise meaning. Work refers to the force and the displacement over which it acts. Consider a constant force F acting on an object of mass m. The object undergoes a displacement d in the positive x-direction as shown in figure.

 The work done by the force is defined to be the product of component of the force in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement, thus
$\text{W}=(\text{F}\cos\theta) \text{ D}=\text{F}.\text{D}.$

  1. A proton is kept at rest. A positively charged particle is released from rest at a distance d in its field. Consider two experiments; one in which the charged particle is also a proton and in another, a positron. In same time t, the work done on the two moving charged particles is:
  1. same as the same force law is involved in the two experiments
  2. less for the case of a positron, as the positron moves away more rapidly and the force on it weakens
  3. more for the case of a positron, as the positron moves away a larger distance
  4. same as the work is done by charged particle on the stationary proton
