MCQ
Shown here are the velocities and acceleration vectors for a man in several different types of motion. In which case is the man slowing down and turning to the right
- A
- ✓
- C
- D
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
b
As the man is slowing down therefore, the acceleration component should be opposite to the velocity. so, the angle between velocity vector and acceleration vector should be obtuse.
As the man is slowing down therefore, the acceleration component should be opposite to the velocity. so, the angle between velocity vector and acceleration vector should be obtuse.
As the man is turning to the right therefore, the acceleration vector component should be towards the left side.
Thus, the correct option is $B.$

A $U$ -tube of small and uniform cross section contains water of total length $4H$. The height difference between the water columns on the left and on the right is $H$ when the valve $K$ is closed. The valve is suddenly open, and water is flowing from left to right. Ignore friction. The speed of water when the heights of the left and the right water columns are the same, is :-
→When stopping potential is applied in an experiment on photoelectric effect, no photocurrent is observed. This means that:
- The emission of photoelectrons is stopped.
- The photoelectrons are emitted but are reabsorbed by the emitter metal.
- The photoelectrons are accumulated near the collector plate.
- The photoelectrons are dispersed from the sides of the apparatus.
A man of mass $m$ starts falling towards a planet of mass $M$ and radius $R$. As he reaches near to the surface, he realizes that he will pass through a small hole in the planet. As he enters the hole, he sees that the planet is really made of two pieces a spherical shell of negligible thickness of mass $2 M / 3$ and a point mass $M / 3$ at the centre. Change in the force of gravity experienced by the man is
