→A particle of mass $m$ is tied to one end of $a$ string of length $l$. The particle is held horizontal with the string $mg$ taut. It is then projected upward with $a$ velocity $u$. The tension in the string is $\frac{{mg}}{2}$ when it is inclined at an angle $30^o$ to the horizontal. The value of $u$ is
→A wheel of moment of inertia $10\ kg-m^2$ is rotating at $10$ rotations per minute. The work done in increasing its speed to $5$ times its initial value, will be.......... $J$
→Diatomic molecules like hydrogen have energies due to both translational as well as rotational motion. From the equation in kinetic theory $\text{PV} = \frac{2}{3}$ E,E is:
→- The total energy per unit volume.
- Only the translational part of energy because rotational energy is very small compared to the translational energy.
- Only the translational part of the energy because during collisions with the wall pressure relates to change in linear momentum.
- The translational part of the energy because rotational energies of molecules can be of either sign and its average over all the molecules is zero.
A person standing near the edge of the top of a building throws two balls A and B. The ball A is thrown vertically upward and B is thrown vertically downward with the same speed. The ball A hits the ground with a speed vA and the ball B hits the ground with a speed vB. We have:
- vA > vB
- vA < vB
- vA = vB
- The relation between vA and vB depends on height of the building above the ground.
A particle released from rest is falling through a thick fluid under gravity. The fluid exerts a resistive force on the particle proportional to the square of its speed. Which one of the following graphs best depicts the variation of its speed $v$ with time $t$ ?
→A wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular part (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross section area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slighly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just steps over the wheel.As it cools down to surronding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficint of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$, and its young's modulus is $Y$, the force that one part of wheel applies on the other part is
