Question
Given the example of the motion in the following cases:
  1. Where magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle changes.
  2. Where the magnitude and direction of acceleration of body remains constant.
  3. Where magnitude of acceleration changes but its direction remains constants.
  4. Where the magnitude of acceleration remains constant but its direction changes.

Answer

  1. In S.H.M., acceleration is always proportional to displacement but directed opposite to the displacement. So in this case, magnitude as well as direction of acceleration changes.
  2. A body falling under gravity near the surface of the earth.
  3. A body falling under gravity from a height comparable to the radius of the earth.
  4. A body revolving in a circular path with constant speed.

Figure shows two blocks A and B, each having a mass of 320g connected by a light string passing over a smooth light pulley. The horizontal surface on which the block A can slide is smooth. The block A is attached to a spring of spring constant 40N/m whose other end is fixed to a support 40cm above the horizontal surface. Initially, the spring is vertical and unstretched when the system is released to move. Find the velocity of the block A at the instant it breaks off the surface below it. Take $g = 10m/s^2$.

At what temperature is the root mean square speed of an atom in an argon gas cylinder equal to the rms speed of a helium gas atom at $-20°C$? (atomic mass of $Ar = 39.9u$, of $He = 4.0u$).
Earthquakes generate sound waves inside the earth. Unlike a gas, the earth can experience both transverse $( S )$ and Iongitudinal ( $P$ ) sound waves. Typically the speed of $S$ wave is about $4.0 km s ^{-1}$, and that of $P$ wave is $8.0 km s ^{-1}$. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P wave arrives 4 min before the first S wave. Assuming the waves travel in straight line, at what distance does the earthquake occur?
Test if the following equations are dimensionally correct:
  1. $\text{h}=\frac{2\text{S}\cos\theta}{\rho\text{rg}}$
  2. $\text{u}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{P}}{\rho}}$
  3. $\text{V}=\frac{\pi\text{Pr}^4\text{t}}{8\eta l}$
  4. $\text{v}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{\text{mg}l}{\text{I}}}$
where h = height, S = surface tension, $\rho$ = density, P = pressure, V = volume, $\eta$ = coefficient of viscosity, v = frequency and I = moment of inertia.
