MCQ
Two stones are thrown with same speed $u$ at different angles from ground in air. If both stones have same range and height attained by them are $h_1$ and $h_2$, then $h_1+h_2$ is equal to .......
  • A
    $\frac{u^2}{g}$
  • $\frac{u^2}{2 g}$
  • C
    $\frac{u^2}{3 g}$
  • D
    $\frac{u^2}{4 g}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{u^2}{2 g}$
b
(b)

If range is same then, one angle is $\theta$ and other angle is $(90-\theta)$

$\Rightarrow h_1=\frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g}, h_2=\frac{u^2 \sin ^2(90-\theta)}{2 g}$

$h_1=\frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g}, h_2=\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta}{2 g}$

So, $h_1+h_2 \Rightarrow \frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g}+\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta}{2 g}=\frac{u^2}{2 g}\left(\sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta\right)$

$h_1+h_2=\frac{u^2}{2 g}$

An ideal monoatomic gas is confined in a cylinder by a spring loaded piston of cross section $8.0\times10^{-3}\, m^2$ . Initially the gas is at $300\, K$ and occupies a volume of $2.4\times10^{-3}\, m^3$ and the spring is in its relaxed state as shown in figure. The gas is heated by a small heater until the piston moves out slowly by $0.1\, m$. The force constant of the spring is $8000\, N/m$ and the atmospheric pressure is $1.0\times10^5\, N/m^2$ . The cylinder and the piston are thermally insulated. The piston and the spring are massless and there is no friction between the piston and the cylinder. The final temperature of the gas will be: (Neglect the heat loss through the lead wires of the heater . The heat capacity of the heater coil is also negligible)
