Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from $i$ to $v.$ When an object follows a circular path at a constant speed, the motion of the object is called uniform circular motion. The word “uniform” refers to the speed, which is uniform (constant) throughout the motion. Suppose an object is moving with uniform speed $v$ in a circle of radius $R$ Since the velocity of the object is changing continuously in direction, the object undergoes acceleration. Let us find the magnitude and the direction of this acceleration. Thus, the acceleration of an object moving with speed v in a circle of radius $R$ has a magnitude $V^2/R$ and is always directed towards the centre. This is why this acceleration is called centripetal acceleration (a term proposed by Newton). A thorough analysis of centripetal acceleration was first published in $1673$ by the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens $(1629-1695)$ but it was probably known to Newton also some years earlier. “Centripetal” comes from a Greek term which means ‘centre-seeking’. Since $v$ and $R$ are constant, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is also constant. However, the direction changes pointing always towards the centre. Therefore, a centripetal acceleration is not a constant vector. We can express centripetal acceleration ac in terms of angular speed as $\text{a}_\text{c}=\omega^2\text{R}$ The time taken by an object to make one revolution is known as its time period T and the number of revolution made in one second is called its frequency $v (=1/T).$ However, during this time the distance moved by the object is $\text{s}=2\pi\text{R}.$ Therefore, $\text{v}=2\pi\frac{\text{R}}{\text{T}}=2\pi\text{ Rv}$ In terms of frequency n, we have $\omega=2\pi\text{v}$
$\text{V}=2\pi\text{ RV}$
$\text{ac}=4\pi^2\text{v}^2\text{R}$
  1. SI unit of angular velocity is
  1. Rev/ sec
  2. $m/ s$
  3. $m/ s^2$ 
  4. None of these

Answer

  1. (a) Rev/ sec
  2. (a) True
  3. When an object moves in a circular path with uniform speed, its motion is called uniform circular motion.
  4. “Centripetal” comes from a Greek term which means ‘centre-seeking’ i.e. always directed towards centre of a circle.
  5. Acceleration of particle performing uniform circular motion which is always directed towards centre of a circle is called centripetal acceleration. We can express centripetal acceleration ac in terms of angular speed as.
$\omega=2\pi\text{v}$
However, during this time the distance moved by the object is $s = 2\pi R.$ In terms of frequency V, we have
$\omega=2\pi\text{v}$
$\text{V}=2\pi\text{ RV}$
$\text{ac}=4\pi^2\text{v}^2\text{R}$

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. Acceleration due to gravity The acceleration for any object moving under the sole influence of gravity is known as acceleration due to gravity. So, for an object of mass m, the acceleration experienced by it is usually denoted by the symbol g which is related to F by Newton’s second law by relation F = mg Thus, $\text{g}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{m}}=\frac{{\text{Gm}_\text{e}}}{\text{R}^2_\text{e}}$ Acceleration g is readily measurable as Re is a known quantity. The measurement ofG by Cavendish’s experiment (or otherwise), combined with knowledge of g and Re enables one to estimate $M_e$ from the above equation. This is the reason why there is a popular statement regarding Cavendish “Cavendish weighed the earth”. The value of g decrease as we go upwards from the earth’s surface or downwards, but it is maximum at its surface.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. The property of a body, by virtue of which it tends to regain its original size and shape when the applied force is removed, is known as elasticity and the deformation caused is known as elastic deformation. However, if you apply force to a lump of putty or mud, they have no gross tendency to regain their previous shape, and they get permanently deformed. Such substances are called plastic and this property is called plasticity. Putty and mud are close to ideal plastics. We know that in a solid, each atom or molecule is surrounded by neighboring atoms or molecules. These are bonded together by interatomic or intermolecular forces and stay in a stable equilibrium position. When a solid is deformed, the atoms or molecules are displaced from their equilibrium positions causing a change in the interatomic (or intermolecular) distances. When the deforming force is removed, the interatomic forces tend to drive them back to their original positions. Thus the body regains its original shape and size. Answer the following
  1. Putty and mud are example of:
  1. Ideal plastic
  2. Ideal elastic
  3. Pseudo plastic

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5.
Beats is an interesting phenomenon arising from interference of waves. When two harmonic Sound waves of slightly different frequencies and comparable amplitude are heard at the same time, we hear a sound of similar frequency (the average of two close frequencies), but we hear something else also. We hear audibly distinct waxing and waning of the intensity of the sound, with a frequency equal to the difference in the two close frequencies. Beat frequency is given by
$u = u_1 - u_2$
Artists use this phenomenon often while tuning their instruments with each other. They go on tuning until their sensitive ears do not detect any beats.
Doppler Effect is a wave phenomenon, it holds not only for sound waves but also for electromagnetic waves. However, here we shall consider only sound waves. Doppler Effect is defined as increase or decrease in frequency of sound due to relative motion between source of sound and observer. Frequency increases when source and observer comes towards each other and frequency decreases when source and observer go away from each other .For sound the observed frequency n is given in terms of the source frequency $v_0$ by
$\text{u}=\text{v}_0\frac{\text{v}+\text{v}_0}{\text{v}+\text{vs}}$
Here v is the speed of sound through the medium, is the velocity of observer relative to the medium, and is the source velocity relative to the medium. In using this formula, velocities in the direction OS should be treated as positive and those opposite to it should be taken to be negative. The change in frequency caused by a moving object due to Doppler Effect is used to measure their velocities in diverse areas such as military, medical science, astrophysics, etc. It is also used by police to check over-speeding of vehicles. A sound wave or electromagnetic wave of known frequency is sent towards a moving object. Some part of the wave is reflected from the object and its frequency is detected by the monitoring station. This change in frequency is called Doppler shift. It is used at airports to guide aircraft, and in the military to detect enemy aircraft. Astrophysicists use it to measure the velocities of stars. Doctors use it to study heart beats and blood flow in different parts of the body. Here they use ultrasonic waves, and in common practice, it is called sonography. Ultrasonic waves enter the body of the person, some of them are reflected back, and give information about motion of blood and pulsation of heart valves, as well as pulsation of the heart of the foetus. In the case of heart, the picture generated is called echocardiogram. Answer the following
  1. Beats are heard after superposition of two waves with beat frequency.
  1. $υ = υ_1 - υ_2$
