MCQ 31 Mark
The angle between $\vec{\text{A}}=\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}$ and $\vec{\text{B}}=\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}$ is
  • A
    45°
  • B
    90°
  • C
    –45°
  • D
    180°
Answer
  1. 90°

Explanation:

Given $\vec{\text{A}}=\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}$

$\vec{\text{B}}=\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}$

$\vec{\text{A}}.\vec{\text{B}}=|\text{A}||\text{B}|\cos\theta$

$\cos\theta=\frac{\vec{\text{A}}.\vec{\text{B}}}{|\text{A}||\text{B}|}$

$=\frac{(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}).(\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}})}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2}\times\sqrt{1^2+(-1)^2}}=\frac{1-1}{2}=0$

$\Rightarrow\cos\theta=\cos90$

$\therefore\theta=90^\circ.$ Hence, verifies the option (b).

MCQ 81 Mark
The horizontal range of a projectile fired at an angle of 15° is 50m. If it is fired with the same speed at an angle of 45°, its range will be
  • A
    60m
  • B
    71m
  • C
    100m
  • D
    141m
Answer
  1. 100m

Explanation:

projectile is fired at $\theta=15^\circ,\ \text{R} = 50\text{m}$ 

$\text{R}=\frac{\text{u}^2\sin2\theta}{\text{g}}$

$50=\frac{\text{u}^2\sin2\times15^\circ}{\text{g}}\Rightarrow\text{u}^2=50\text{g}\times2$

$\text{u}^2=100\text{g}$

Now $\theta = 45^\circ,\ \text{u}^2=100\text{g}$

$\therefore\ \text{R}=\frac{\text{u}^2\sin2\theta}{\text{g}}=\frac{100\text{g}\times\sin2\times45^\circ}{\text{g}}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{R}=100\text{m}$

So, this verifies option (c).

          If $\text{u}=\text{a}\hat{\text{i}}+\text{b}\hat{\text{j}}$ and $\text{v}=\text{p}\hat{\text{i}}+\text{q}\hat{\text{j}}$ which of the following is correct?

          • A
            a and p are positive while b and q are negative.
          • B
            a, p and b are positive while q is negative.
          • C
            a, q and b are positive while p is negative.
          • D
            a, b, p and q are all positive.
          Answer
          1. a, p and b are positive while q is negative.

          Main concept used: Sign of a, b, p and q are the sign of their resolving components in the XY direction.

          Explanation: Components along X and Y axis of the vector $\vec{\text{u}}$ are both +X and Y direction, so a, b are positive.

          Now if we resolve$\vec{\text{v}}$ its X component is in +ve X direction but Y component will be in -ve Y direction. Hence, a, b and p are positive but q is negative. Verifies option (b).

          In a two dimensional motion, instantaneous speed v0 is a positive constant. Then which of the following are necessarily true?
          • A
            The average velocity is not zero at any time.
          • B
            Average acceleration must always vanish.
          • C
            Displacements in equal time intervals are equal.
          • D
            Equal path lengths are traversed in equal intervals.
          Answer
          1. Equal path lengths are traversed in equal intervals.

          Explanation:

          Speed (Instantaneous Speed): The magnitude of the velocity at any instant of time is known as Instantaneous Speed or simply speed at that instant of time. It is denoted by v.

          Quantitatively: Speed = distance/ time

          Mathematically, it is the time rate at which distance is being travelled by the particle.

          • Speed is a scalar quantity. It can never be negative (as shown by speedometer of our vehicle).
          • Instantaneous speed is the speed of a particle at a particular instant of time.

          Hence, Total distance travelled = Path length = (speed) × time taken

          Important point: We should be very carefull with the fact that speed is related with total distance covered not with displacement.

          A particle slides down a frictionless parabolic (y = x) track (A – B – C) starting from rest at point A. Point B is at the vertex of parabola and point C is at a height less than that of point A. After C, the particle moves freely in air as a projectile. If the particle reaches highest point at P, then

          • A
            KE at P = KE at B.
          • B
            height at P = height at A.
          • C
            total energy at P = total energy at A.
          • D
            time of travel from A to B = time of travel from B to P.
          Answer
          1. total energy at P = total energy at A.

          Explanation:

          In such type of problems, we have to observe the nature of track that if there is a friction or not, as friction is not present in this track, total energy of the particle will remain constant throughout the journey.

          According to the problem, the path traversed by the particle on a frictionless track is parabolic, is given by the equation y = x2, thus total energy (KE + PE) will be same throughout the journey.

          Hence, total energy at A = total energy at P

          At B the particle is having only KE but at P some KE is converted to PE.

          So, (KE)B  > (KE)P

          Total energy at A = PE = Total energy at B = KE = Total energy at P = PE + KE

          The potential energy at A is converted to KE and PE at P, hence (PE)P < (PE)A

          Hence, (Height)P < (Height)A

          As, Height of P < Height of A

          Hence, path length AB > path length BP

          Hence, time of travel from A to B ≠ Time of travel from B to P.

          A man standing on a road has to hold his umbrella at 30° with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at 10kmh-1.
          He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. The actual speed of raindrops is:
          • A
            $20\text{kmh}^{-1}$
          • B
            $10\sqrt{3}\text{kmh}^{-1}$
          • C
            $20\sqrt{3}\text{kmh}^{-1}$
          • D
            $10\text{kmh}^{-1}$
          Answer
          1. $20\text{kmh}^{-1}$

          Explanation:

          When the man is at rest with respect to the ground, the rain comes to him at an angle 30° with the vertical. This is the direction of the velocity of raindrops with respect to the ground.

          Here, Vr,g = Velocity of the rain with respect to the ground

          Vm,g = Velocity of the man with respect to the ground

          and Vr,m = Velocity of the rain with respect to the man.

          Here, Vm,g = 10 kmh-1

          $\text{V}_{\text{r, g}}=\frac{10}{\sin30^\circ}=20\text{kmh}^{-1}$

          Two cars of masses m, and my are moving in circles of radii r1 and r2, respectively. Their speeds are such that they make complete circles in the same time t. The ratio of their centripetal accelerations is:
          • A
            m1r1 : m2r2
          • B
            m1 : m2
          • C
            r1 : r2
          • D
            1 : 1
          Answer
          1. r1 : r2

          Explanation:

          As, centripetal acceleration is given as, $\text{a}_\text{c}=\frac{\text{v}^2}{\text{r}}$

          For the first body of mass m1$\text{a}_{\text{c}_1}=\frac{\text{v}_1^2}{\text{r}_1}$

          For the second body of mass m2$\text{a}_{\text{c}_2}=\frac{\text{v}_2^2}{\text{r}_2}$

          Also time to complete one revolution by both body is same.

          Hence, $\frac{2\pi\text{r}_1}{\text{v}_1}=\frac{2\pi\text{r}_2}{\text{v}_2}$

          $\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{v}_1}{\text{v}_2}=\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}\dots(\text{i})$

          i.e., $\text{a}_{\text{c}_1}:\text{a}_{\text{c}_2}=\frac{\text{v}_1^2}{\text{r}_1}\times\frac{\text{r}_2}{\text{v}^2_2}$ [from eq. (i)]

          $=\frac{\text{r}_1^2}{\text{r}_2^2}\times\frac{\text{r}_2}{\text{r}_1}=\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}=\text{r}_1:\text{r}_2$​​​​​​​

          • D
            r is along negative Y-axis.
          Answer
          1. r is along positive X-axis.

          Explanation:

          Consider a vector $\vec{\text{R}}$ in X-Y plane as shown in figure. If we draw orthogonal vectors $\vec{\text{R}}_{\text{x}}$ and $\vec{\text{R}}_{\text{y}}$ along x and y axes respectively, by law of vector addition, $\vec{\text{R}}=\vec{\text{R}}_{\text{x}}+\vec{\text{R}}_{\text{y}}$

          The magnitude of component of r along X-axis

          $\text{r}_\text{x}=|\text{r}|\cos\theta$

          $(\text{r}_\text{x})_{\text{maximum}}=|\text{r}|(\cos\theta)_{\text{maximum}}$

          $\text{r}_\text{x}=|\text{r}|\cos\theta$

          $=|\text{r}|\cos0^\circ=|\text{r}|$ $(\because\cos\theta$ is maximum if $\theta=0^\circ)$

          As $\theta=0^\circ,$

          r is along positive x-axis.

                • D
                  A, B and C have equal ranges.
                Answer
                1. Ranges of A and C are less than that of B.

                Explanation:

                When a body is projected at an angle with the horizontal with initial velocity u, then the horizontal range R of projectile is $\text{R}=\frac{\text{u}^2\sin2\theta}{\text{g}}.$

                Clearly, for maximum horizontal range $\sin2\theta=1$ or $2\theta=90^\circ$ or $\theta=45^\circ.$

                Hence, in order to achieve maximum range, the body should be projected at 45°.

                In this case $\text{R}_\text{max}=\frac{\text{u}^2}{\text{g}}$

                Hence, ranges of A and C are less than that of B.

                Answer
                1. $\sin\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}$

                Explanation:

                Given u = 60ms-1

                Explanation:

                $|\vec{\text{A}}+\vec{\text{B}}|=|\vec{\text{A}}|$

                Applying dot product,

                $|\vec{\text{A}}+\vec{\text{B}}|.|\vec{\text{A}}+\vec{\text{B}}|=|\vec{\text{A}}|.|\vec{\text{A}}|$

                $\Rightarrow\ |\vec{\text{A}}|^2+2\vec{\text{A}}.\vec{\text{B}}+|\vec{\text{B}}|^2=|\text{A}|^2$

                • D
                  total energy: U1 > U2
                Answer
                1. angle of projection: q1 > q2
                2. time of flight: T1 > T2

                Explanation:

                1. According to the problem,

                $\Rightarrow\ \text{H}_1>\text{H}_2$

                $\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{v}^2_0\sin^2\theta_1}{2\text{g}}>\frac{\text{v}^2_0\sin^2\theta_2}{2\text{g}}$

                $\Rightarrow\ \sin^2\theta_1>\sin^2\theta_2$

                $\Rightarrow\ \sin^2\theta_1-\sin^2\theta_2>0$

                $\Rightarrow\ (\sin\theta_1-\sin\theta_2)(\sin\theta_1+\sin\theta_2)>0$

                Thus, either $\sin\theta_1+\sin\theta_2>0$

                $\Rightarrow\ \sin\theta_1-\sin\theta_2>0$

                $\Rightarrow\ \sin\theta_1>\sin\theta_2\text{ or }\theta_1>\theta_2$

                Hence option (a) is correct.

                1. Time of flight, $\text{T}=\frac{2\text{u}\sin\theta}{\text{g}}=\frac{2\text{v}_0\sin\theta}{\text{g}}$

                Thus, $\text{T}_1=\frac{2\text{v}_0\sin\theta_1}{\text{g}}$ and $\text{T}_2=\frac{2\text{v}_0\sin\theta_2}{\text{g}}$

                (Here, T1 = Time of flight of first particle and T2 = Time of flight of second particle).

                As, $\sin\theta_1>\sin\theta_2$

                Thus, $\text{T}_1>\text{T}_2$

                Hence option (b) is correct.

                1. We know that Range, $\text{R}=\frac{\text{u}^2\sin2\theta}{\text{g}}=\frac{\text{v}^2_0\sin2\theta}{\text{g}}$

                Range of first particle $=\text{R}_1=\frac{\text{u}^2_0\sin2\theta_1}{\text{g}}$

                Range of second particle $=\text{R}_2=\frac{\text{u}^2_0\sin2\theta_2}{\text{g}}$

                Given, $\sin\theta_1>\sin\theta_2$

                $\Rightarrow\ \sin2\theta_1>\sin2\theta_2$

                $\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{R}_1}{\text{R}_2}=\frac{\sin2\theta_1}{\sin2\theta_2}>1$

                $\Rightarrow\ \text{R}_1>\text{R}_2$

                But if $\theta_1+\theta_2=90^\circ,$ then $\text{R}_1=\text{R}_2$

                Hence option (c) is incorrect.

                Important points about time of flight: For complementary angles of projection $\theta\text{ and }90^\circ-\theta.$

                1. Ratio of time of flight $=\frac{\text{T}_1}{\text{T}_2}=\frac{2\text{u}\sin\frac{\theta}{\text{g}}}{2\text{u}\sin\frac{(90^\circ-\theta)}{\text{g}}}=\tan\theta$

                $\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{T}_1}{\text{T}_2}=\tan\theta$

                1. Multiplication of time of flight $=\text{T}_1\text{T}_2=\frac{2\text{u}\sin\theta}{\text{g}}\frac{2\text{u}\cos\theta}{\text{g}}$

                $\Rightarrow\ \text{T}_1\text{T}_2=\frac{2\text{R}}{\text{g}}$

                • B
                  $\text{v}_\text{av}=\frac{r(\text{t}_2)-\text{r}(\text{t}_1)}{\text{t}_2-\text{t}_1}$

                  $\text{r}=\frac{1}2(\text{v}(\text{t}_2)-\text{v}(\text{t}_1))(\text{t}_2-\text{t}_1)$
                • D
                  $\text{a}_\text{av}=\frac{\text{v}(\text{t}_2)-\text{v}(\text{t}_1)}{\text{t}_2-\text{t}_1}$
                Answer
                1. $\text{v}_\text{av}=\frac{1}2\big[\text{v}(\text{t}_1)+\text{v}(\text{t}_2)\big]$
                1. $\text{r}=\frac{1}2(\text{v}(\text{t}_2)-\text{v}(\text{t}_1))(\text{t}_2-\text{t}_1)$

                Explanation:

                When an object covers a displacement $\Delta\text{r}$ in time $\Delta\text{t},$ its average velocity is given by $\vec{\text{v}}_\text{avg}=\frac{\overrightarrow{\Delta\text{r}}}{\Delta\text{t}}=\frac{\text{r}_2-\text{r}_1}{\text{t}_2-\text{t}_1}$ where r1 and r2 are position vectors corresponding to time t1 and t2.

                If the velocity of an object changes from v1 to v2 in time $\Delta\text{t},$ average acceleration is given by

                $\text{a}_\text{av}=\frac{\Delta\text{v}}{\Delta\text{t}}=\frac{\text{v}_2-\text{v}_1}{\text{t}_2-\text{t}_1}$

                But, when acceleration is non-uniform,

                $\text{v}_\text{av}\neq\frac{\text{v}_1+\text{v}_2}{2}$

                Option (c) is similar to the relation $\vec{\text{r}}=\frac{1}2\text{at}^2$ which is not correct if initial velocity is given.

                So (b) and (d) are the correct relations for the uniform acceleration.

                Answer
                1. $(\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}})\times\vec{\text{C}}$ is not zero unless $\vec{\text{B}},\ \vec{\text{C}}$ are parallel.
                1. If A, B, C define a plane, $(\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}})\times\vec{\text{C}}$$$ is in that plane.

                Explanation:

                $\vec{\text{A}}+\vec{\text{B}}+\vec{\text{C}}=0$

                So $\vec{\text{A}},\ \vec{\text{B}}$ and $\vec{\text{C}}$ are in a plane and can be represented bt the three sides of a triangle taken in order.

                1. $\vec{\text{B}}\times(\vec{\text{A}}+\vec{\text{B}}+\vec{\text{C}})=\vec{\text{B}}\times0=0$

                $\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{A}}+\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{B}}+\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{C}}=0$

                $\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{A}}+0+\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{C}}=0$

                $\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{A}}=-\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{C}}$

                $\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}}=\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{C}}\ \dots(\text{i})$

                Or $(\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}})\times\vec{\text{C}}=(\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{C}})\times\vec{\text{C}}$

                $\therefore$ It cannot be zero

                $\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{C}}$ will be zero if $\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{C}}$ are parallel or antiparallel.

                i.e, $(\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}})\times\vec{\text{C}}=[\text{BC}\sin0^\circ]\times\vec{\text{C}}$

                $(\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}})\times\vec{\text{C}}=0$ only if $\vec{\text{B}}||\vec{\text{C}}$

                Hence option (a) is verified.

                1. $(\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}})=\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{C}}$ [from (i)]

                $(\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}}).\vec{\text{C}}=(\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{C}}).\vec{\text{C}}$

                if $\vec{\text{B}}||\vec{\text{C}}$

                $\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{C}}=\text{BC}\sin0^\circ=0$

                $\therefore\ (\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}}).\vec{\text{C}}=0\text{ IF }\vec{\text{B}}||\vec{\text{C}}$

                So option (b) is not verified.

                1. $(\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}})=\vec{\text{X}}$

                The direction of x is perpendicular to both planes containing A and B.

                $(\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}})\times\vec{\text{C}}=\vec{\text{X}}\times\vec{\text{C}}=\vec{\text{Y}}$

                The direction of $\vec{\text{Y}}$ is perpendicular to the plane of $\vec{\text{X}}\text{ and }\vec{\text{C}}$ which again become in the plane of $\vec{\text{A}},\ \vec{\text{B}},\ \vec{\text{C}}$ but perpendicular to the plane of $\vec{\text{X}}\text{ and }\vec{\text{C}}.$ Hence option (c) is also verified.

                1. $|\text{A}|^2+|\text{B}|^2=|\text{C}|^2$ given

                It shows that angle between $\vec{\text{A}}\text{ and }\vec{\text{B}}$ is 90°

                $=|\text{A}||\text{B}||\text{C}|\cos\theta\neq|\text{A}||\text{B}||\text{C}|$

                $(\vec{\text{A}}\times\vec{\text{B}}).\vec{\text{C}}=|\text{A}||\text{B}||\text{C}|\cos\theta$

                Does not verified option (d).

                • A
                  Impulse, pressure and area.
                • B

                • C
                  Area and gravitational potential.
                • D
                  Impulse and pressure.
                Answer
                1. Impulse and area.

                Explanation:

                We know that impulse J = F. $\Delta\text{t}=\Delta\text{p},$ where F is force, At is time duration and Ap is change in momentum. As $\Delta\text{p}$ is a vector quantity, hence impulse is also a vector quantity. Sometimes area can also be treated as vector direction of area vector is perpendicular to its plane.

                Angle that the vector $\vec{\text{A}}=2\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}$ makes with y-axis is:
                • A
                  $\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)$
                • B
                  $\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)$

                  $\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)$
                • D
                  $\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)$
                Answer
                1. $\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)$

                Explanation:

                As $\vec{\text{A}}=2\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}},$ therefore Ax = 2 and Ay = 3. If $\theta$ is the angle which $\vec{\text{A}}$ encloses with y-axis, then.

                $\tan\theta=\frac{\text{A}_\text{x}}{\text{A}_\text{y}}=\frac{2}{3}$ or $\theta=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)$​​​​​​​
