  • $\frac{3 m v^2}{4 x^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 m v^2}{3 x^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{m v^2}{3 x^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 m v^2}{x^2}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{3 m v^2}{4 x^2}$
(A) $\frac{3 m v^2}{4 x^2}$
$\frac{1}{2} m v^2-\frac{1}{2} m\left(\frac{v}{2}\right)^2=\frac{1}{2} k x^2$
$\frac{3 m v^2}{8}=\frac{1}{2} k x^2$
$k=\frac{3 m v^2}{4 x^2}$

A body executes simple harmonic motion. The potential energy (PE) kinetic energy (KE) and total energy (TE) are measured as a function of displacement $x$. Which of the following statement is true :
  • A
    TE is zero when $x=0$
  • B
    PE is maximum when $x=0$
  • KE is maximum when $x=0$
  • D
    KE is maximum when x is maximum
Answer
Correct option: C.
KE is maximum when $x=0$
(C) KE is maximum when $x=0$
In SHM, at mean position i.e. at $x=0$ K.E will be maximum and P.E will be minimum. Total energy is always contt.

A 50 kg man with $2 0 ~ k g$ load on his head climbs up 20 steps of 0.25 m height each. The work done in climbing is
  • A
    5 J
  • B
    350 J
  • C
    100 J
  • 3430 J
Answer
Correct option: D.
3430 J
(D) 3430 J
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Total mass }=50+20=70 kg \\ & \text { Total height }=20 \times 0.25=5 m \\ \therefore \quad & W = mgh =70 \times 98 \times 5=3430 J\end{aligned}$

In the experiment of Ohm's law, a potential difference of 5.0 V is applied across the end of a conductor of length $10.0 ~ c m$ and diameter of 5.00 mm . The measured current in the conductor is 2.00 A . The maximum permissible percentage error in the resistivity of the conductor is
  • 3.9
  • B
    8.4
  • C
    7.5
  • D
    3
Answer
Correct option: A.
3.9
(A) 3.9
$\begin{array}{l} R =\frac{\rho l }{ A }=\frac{ v }{ l } \quad\left( A =\frac{\pi d ^2}{4}\right) \\ \frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho}=2 \frac{\Delta d}{ d }+\frac{\Delta v }{ V }+\frac{\Delta l }{ l }+\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell} \\ \end{array}$
$\%$ error $=\frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho} \times 100=3.90 \% .$

$8 \Omega$
(B) $8 \Omega$
$R_{\text {eq }}$ for 1st circuit
$ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{R_{eq}} & =\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{16} \\ & =\frac{2+1+1}{16}=\frac{4}{16} \\ R_{eq} & =4 \Omega \end{aligned} $
$R_{\text {eq }}$ for 2nd circuit
$ \begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{18}=\frac{2+1}{18}=\frac{3}{18} \\ R_{eq}=6 \Omega \\ R_{eq}=\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1+2}{24}=\frac{3}{24} \\ R_{eq}=8 \Omega \end{array} $
