MCQ
The position-time graphs for two students $A$ and $B$ returning from the school to their homes are shown in figure

$(A)$ $A$ lives closer to the school

$(B)$ $B$ lives closer to the school

$(C)$ $A$ takes lesser time to reach home

$(D)$ $A$ travels faster than $B$

$(E)$ $B$ travels faster than $A$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • $(A)$ and $(E)$ only
  • B
    $(B)$ and $(E)$ only
  • C
    $(A), (C)$ and $(E)$ only
  • D
    $(A), (C)$ and $(D)$ only

Answer

Correct option: A.
$(A)$ and $(E)$ only
a
As slope of $B$ > Slope of $A$

$\therefore V_B > V_A$

Also, $t _{ B } < t _{ A }$

Two particles, $1$ and $2$ , each of mass $m$, are connected by a massless spring, and are on a horizontal frictionless plane, as shown in the figure. Initially, the two particles, with their center of mass at $x_0$, are oscillating with amplitude a and angular frequency $\omega$. Thus, their positions at time $t$ are given by $x_1(t)=\left(x_0+d\right)+a \sin \omega t$ and $x_2(t)=\left(x_0-d\right)-$ $a$ sin $\omega t$, respectively, where $d>2 a$. Particle $3$ of mass $m$ moves towards this system with speed $u_0=a \omega / 2$, and undergoes instantaneous elastic collision with particle 2 , at time $t_0$. Finally, particles $1$ and $2$ acquire a center of mass speed $v_{ cm }$ and oscillate with amplitude $b$ and the same angular frequency. . . . .

A conducting bar $PQ$ of length $l$ carrying current $I$ is suspended from a rigid support as shown in figure. A uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to $PQ$ and directed away from the reader (inside the plane) is applied. If the mass of the bar is $M$ the tension in each string is
A proton sits at coordinates $(x, y) = (0, 0)$, and an electron at $(d, h)$, where $d >> h$. At time $t = 0$, $a$ uniform electric field $E$ of unknown magnitude but pointing in the positive $y$ direction is turned on. Assuming that $d$ is large enough that the proton-electron interaction is negligible, the $y$ coordinates of the two particles will be equal (at equal time)
