Question 601 Mark
A truck and a car are moving with the same kinetic energy on a straight road. Their engines are simultaneously switched off. Which one will stop at a lesser distance?
Answer
$\text{S}=\frac{\text{K.E}}{\text{Reatarding force}}.$In this case retarding force is the force of friction (f); e, $\text{f}=\mu\text{R}$.Since the weight of truck is more, R will be more in case of truck. Therefore, f will be more. Obviously, S would be less in case of truck so it will come to rest at lesser distance.

Question 731 Mark
Is it possible to have a collision in which all kinetic energy is lost? Give example.
Answer
Consider two particles having momentum $m_1u_1$ and $m_2u_2$ colliding perfectly inelastically to form single mass ($m_1 + m_2$) moving with velocity v. For K.E. to be completely lost $\frac{1}{2}(\text{m}_1+\text{m}_2)\text{v}^2=0 \text{ or}\text{ v}=0$ $\text{ i.e}\frac{\text{m}_1\text{u}_1+\text{m}_2\text{u}_2}{\text{m}_1+\text{m}_2}=0$ $\text{m}_1\text{u}_1=-\text{m}_2\text{u}_2$ i.e., the two particles should have equal and opposite momentum for K.E to be completely lost.

Question 741 Mark
A bolt of mass 0.3kg falls from the ceiling of an elevator moving down with an uniform speed of $7ms^{-1}$. It hits the floor of the elevator (length of the elevator = 3m) and does not rebound. What is the heat produced by the impact? Would your answer be different if the elevator were stationary?
Answer
Mass of the bolt, m= 0.3kg Speed of the elevator = 7m/s Height, h = 3m Since the relative velocity of the bolt with respect to the lift is zero, at the time of impact, potential energy gets converted into heat energy. Heat produced = Loss of potential energy = mgh = 0.3 × 9.8 × 3 = 8.82J The heat produced will remain the same even if the lift is stationary. This is because of the fact that the relative velocity of the bolt with respect to the lift will remain zero.

Question 781 Mark
Answer the following: An artificial satellite orbiting the earth in very thin atmosphere loses its energy gradually due to dissipation against atmospheric resistance, however small. Why then does its speed increase progressively as it comes closer and closer to the earth?
Answer
As an artificial satellite gradually loses its energy due to dissipation against atmospheric resistance, its potential energy decreases rapidly. As a result, kinetic energy of satellite slightly increases i.e. its speed increases progressively.

Question 791 Mark
A $1kg$ block situated on a rough incline is connected to a spring of spring constant $100Nm^{-1}$ as shown in. The block is released from rest with the spring in the unstretched position. The block moves $10cm$ down the incline before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of friction between the block and the incline. Assume that the spring has a negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.
Answer
Mass of the block, $m = 1kg$ Spring constant, $k = 100Nm^{-1}$ Displacement in the block, $X = 10cm = 0.1m$ The given situation can be shown as in the following figure.At equilibrium:

 Normal reaction, $\text{R}=\text{mg}\cos37^{\circ}$ Frictional force, $\text{f}=\mu\text{R}=\text{mg}\sin37^{\circ}$ Where, $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction Net force acting on the block $ =\text{mg}\sin 37^{\circ}-\text{f}$ $=\text{mg}\sin37^{\circ}-\mu\text{m}\cos37^{\circ}$ $=\text{mg}(\sin37^{\circ}-\mu\cos37^{\circ})$ At equilibrium, the work done by the block is equal to the potential energy of the spring, i.e., $=\text{mg}(\sin37^{\circ}-\mu\cos37^{\circ})\text{x}=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)\text{kx}^2$ $1\times9.8(\sin37^{\circ}-\mu\cos37^{\circ})=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)\times100\times(0.1)$ $0.602-\mu\times0.799=0.510$ $\therefore\mu=\frac{0.092}{0.799}=0.115$

Question 821 Mark
Two blocks of masses $10 kg$ and $20 kg$ moving at speeds of $10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$ and $20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$ respectively in opposite directions, approach each other and collide. If the collision is completely inelastic, find the thermal energy developed in the process.
Answer
Given, Mass of the first block, $m_1=10 \mathrm{~kg}$ Mass of the second block, $m_2=20 \mathrm{~kg}$ Initial velocity of the first block, $u_1=$
$10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ Initial velocity of the second block, $u_2=20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ Let the velocity of the blocks after collision be v . Applying conservation of momentum, we get $\mathrm{m}_2 \mathrm{u}_2-\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{u}_1=\left(\mathrm{m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2\right) \mathrm{v} \Rightarrow 20 \times 20-10 \times 10=(10+20) \mathrm{v} \Rightarrow 400-100=30 \mathrm{v}$
$\Rightarrow 300=30 \mathrm{v} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ Initial kinetic energy is given by, $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{i}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}_1 \mathrm{u}_1^2+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}_2 \mathrm{u}_2^2$
$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{i}}=\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times(10)^2+\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times(20)^2 \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{i}}=500+4000=4500$ Final kinetic energy is given by, $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\mathrm{~m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2\right) \mathrm{v}^2 \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{1}{2}(10+20)(10)^2 \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{f}}=\left(\frac{30}{2}\right) \times 100=1500$
$\therefore$ Total change in $\mathrm{KE}=4500 \mathrm{~J}-1500 \mathrm{~J}=$ 3000 J Thermal energy developed in the process $=3000 \mathrm{~J}$

Question 831 Mark
Moutain roads rarely go straight up but wind up gradually. Why?
Answer
Frictional force f is given by $\text{f}=\mu\text{mg}\cos\theta$. If the roads go straight up the angle of slope $\theta$ would be large and frictional force will be less and vehicles may slip.

Question 861 Mark
A body of mass 2kg initially at rest moves under the action of an applied horizontal force of 7N on a table with coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.1. Compute the: Change in kinetic energy of the body in 10s.
Answer
M = 2kg Applied force F = 7N Coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu = 0.1$ Normal reaction is N = mg = 2 × 9.8 = 19.6N Hence, force or friction is $\text{f} = \mu\text{N} = 1.96\text{N}$ Total force = F - f = 7 - 1.96 = 5.04N
Acceleration of body is, $\text{a}=\Big(\frac{\text{F}-\text{f}}{\text{m}}\Big)$ $=\frac{5.04}{2}\simeq2.5\text{ms}^{-2}$ Displacement of body in time t is, $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\text{at}^2$ Int = 10s $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\times2.5\times10^2$ $=125\text{m}$ Change in kinetic energy = Net work done = 630J
