A room has a window fitted with a single $1.0m \times 2.0m$ glass of thickness $2mm$.
  1. Calculate the rate of heat flow through the closed window when the temperature inside the room is $32^\circ C$ and that outside is $40^\circ C$.
  2. The glass is now replaced by two glasspanes, each having a thickness of $1mm$ and separated by a distance of $1mm$. Calculate the rate of heat flow under the same conditions of temperature. Thermal conductivity of window glass = $1.0Js^{-1}m^{-1^\circ}C^{-1}$ and that of air = $0.025Js^{-1}m^{-1^\circ}C^{-1}$.
A conducting square loop having edges of length 2.0cm is rotated through 180° about a diagonal in 0.20s. A magnetic field B exists in the region which is perpendicular to the loop in its initial position. If the average induced emf during the rotation is 20mV, find the magnitude of the magnetic field.
A $100kg$ gun fires a ball of $1kg$ horizontally from a cliff of height $500m$. It falls on the ground at a distance of $400m$ from the bottom of the cliff. Find the recoil velocity of the gun. (acceleration due to gravity $= 10m s^{–2}$)
Consider the situation of the previous problem:
  1. Find the tension in the string in equilibrium.
  2. Suppose the ball is slightly pushed aside and released. Find the time period of the small oscillations.
Explain free simple harmonic oscillation. Taking any one example, explain that the period and frequency of free oscillation depend only on the ratio of mass and stiffness of the objects.
What happens to a body when it is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a speed of 11200m/s, and why? Compare escape speeds for two planets of masses M and 4M and radii 2R and R respectively.
On a two-lane road, car A is travelling with a speed of $36km h^{–1}$. Two cars B and C approach car A in opposite directions with a speed of $54km h^{–1}$ each. At a certain instant, when the distance AB is equal to AC, both being 1km, B decides to overtake A before C does. What minimum acceleration of car B is required to avoid an accident?
A wire loaded by a weight of density $7.6g/ cm^{-3}$ is found to measure 90cm. On immersing the weight in water, the length decreased by 0.18cm. Find the original length of wire.
Define elastic and inelastic collisions. Write their basic characteristics. A bullet is fired into a block of wood. If it gets totally embedded in it and the system moves together as one entity, then state what happens to the initial kinetic energy and linear momentum of the bullet?
Two discs of moments of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre), and rotating with angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident.
  1. What is the angular speed of the two-disc system?
  2. Show that the kinetic energy of the combined system is less than the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the two discs. How do you account for this loss in energy? Take $\omega_1\neq\omega_2$
