Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. The kinetic energy possessed by an object of mass, m and moving with a uniform velocity, v is $\text{K}=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{mv}^2=\frac{1}{2}\text{v}.\text{v}$ Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity. The kinetic energy of an object is a measure of the work and The energy possessed by an object is thus measured in terms of its capacity of doing work. The unit of energy is, therefore, the same as that of work, that is, joule (J). Work energy theorem: The change in kinetic energy of a particle is equal to the work done on it by the net force. Mathematically $K_f - K_i = W$ Where Ki and Kf are respectively the initial and final kinetic energies of the object. Work refers to the force and the displacement over which it acts. Work is done by a force on the body over a certain displacement.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5 . Relative velocity is velocity of any object with respect to other object which may be stationary or moving. Consider two objects A and B moving uniformly with average velocities vA and $v B$ in one dimension, say along $x$-axis. (Unless otherwise specified, the velocities mentioned in this chapter are measured with reference to the ground). If $x_A(0)$ and $x_B(0)$ are positions of objects $A$ and $B$, respectively at time $t=0$, their positions $x_A(t)$ and $x_B(t)$ at time $t$ are given by $x_A(t)=x_A(0)+v_A t x_B$ $(t)=x_B(0)+v_B t$ Then, the displacement from object $A$ to object $B$ is given by $x_{B A}(t)=x_B(t)-x_A(t)=\left[x_B(0)-x_A(0)\right]$ $+\left(v_B-v_A\right) t$. It tells us that as seen from object $A$, object $B$ has a velocity $v_B-v_A$ because the displacement from $A$ to $B$ changes steadily by the amount $v B-v A$ in each unit of time. We say that the velocity of object $B$ relative to object $A$ is $v_B-v_A V_{B A}=v_B-v_A$ Similarly, velocity of object $A$ relative to object $B$ is: $V_{A B}=v_A-v_B$ This shows $V_{B A}=-V_{A B}$.
  1. Velocity of object A relative to object B is:
  1. $V_{AB} = v_A – v_B$

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. Every measurement involves errors. Thus, the result of measurement should be reported in a way that indicates the precision of measurement. Normally, the reported result of measurement is a number that includes all digits in the number that are known reliably plus the first digit that is uncertain. The reliable digits plus the first uncertain digit are known as significant digits or significant figures. If we say the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is 1.62 s, the digits 1 and 6 are reliable and certain, while the digit 2 is uncertain. Thus, the measured value has three significant figures.A choice of change of different units does not change the number of significant digits or figures in a measurement. This important remark makes most of the following observations clear,
  • All the non-zero digits are significant.
  • All the zeros between two non-zero digits are significant, no matter where the decimal point is, if at all.
  • If the number is less than 1, the zero(s) on the right of decimal point but to the left of the first non-zero digit are not significant.
  • The terminal or trailing zero(s) in a number without a decimal point are not significant.[Thus 123 m = 12300 cm = 123000 mm has three significant figures, the trailing zero(s) being not significant.
  • The trailing zero(s) in a number with a decimal point are significant. [The numbers 3.500 or 0.06900 have four significant figures each]
  • For a number greater than 1, without any decimal, the trailing zero(s) are not significant.
  • For a number with a decimal, the trailing zero(s) are significant
(b) The digit 0 conventionally put on the left of a decimal for a number less than 1 (like 0.1250) is never significant. However, the zeroes at the end of such number are significant in a measurement. (c) The multiplying or dividing factors which are neither rounded numbers nor numbers representing measured values are exact and have infinite number of significant digits. (d) In multiplication or division, the final result should retain as many significant figures as are there in the original number with the least significant figures.In addition or subtraction, the final result should retain as many decimal places as are there in the number with the least decimal places. For example, the sum of the numbers 436.32 g, 227.2 g and 0.301 g by mere arithmetic addition, is 663.821 g. But the least precise measurement (227.2 g) is correct to only one decimal place. The final result should, therefore, be rounded off to 663.8 g.
