MCQ Questions for Class 11 Engineering Physics Motion In A Straight Line Quiz 1

A lizard, at an initial distance of

$21$ cm behind an insect, moves from rest with an
acceleration of

$2 cm/s^{2}$ and pursues the insect which is crawling uniformly along a
straight line at a speed of

$20$ cm/s. Then the lizard will catch the insect after

0%
$20$ s
0%
$1$ s
0%
$21$ s
0%
$24$ s

Explanation

Let t be the time in which the lizard will catch the insect.

Distance traveled by lizard $=$ 21 + distance traveled by insect.

$ut+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } a{ t }^{ 2 }=21+vt$

$0+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } 2{ t }^{ 2 }=21+20t$

${ t }^{ 2 }-20t-21=0$

solving this $t= 21 , -1$

t cannot be -ve.

$t=21 sec.$

Two points

$A$ and

$B$ move from rest along a straight line with same acceleration

$f$ and

$f'$ respectively. If

$A$ takes

$m\ \text{sec}$ more than

$B$ and describes

$n$ units more than

$B$ in acquiring the same speed then

0%
$(\mathrm{f}-\mathrm{f}')\mathrm{m}^{2}=\mathrm{f}\mathrm{f}'\mathrm{n}$
0%
$(\mathrm{f}+\mathrm{f}')\mathrm{m}^{2}=\mathrm{f}\mathrm{f}'\mathrm{n}$
0%
$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(\mathrm{f}+\mathrm{f}')\mathrm{m}=\mathrm{f}\mathrm{f}'\mathrm{n}^{2}$
0%
$(f^{'}-f)n=\frac{1}{2}ff^{'}m^{2}$

Explanation

$\mathrm{v}^{2}=2\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{d}+\mathrm{n})=2\mathrm{f}'\mathrm{d}$

$\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{f}'(\mathrm{t})=(\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{t})\mathrm{f}$

eliminate $\mathrm{d}$ and $\mathrm{m}$ we get $(f^{'}-f)n=\frac{1}{2}ff^{'}m^{2}$

Two stones are thrown up simultaneously from the edge of a cliff

$240\ m$ high with initial speed

$10\ m/s$ and

$40\ m/s$ respectively. Which of the following graph best represents the time variation of relative position of the second stone with respect to the first ?
(Assume stones do not rebound after hitting the ground and neglect air resistance, take

$g = 10\ m /s^2$ )
(The figures are schematic and not drawn to scale.)

Explanation

For the first ball,

$-240 = 10t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$\therefore 5t^2-10t -240$

$\therefore t^2-2t-48 =0$

$\Rightarrow t=8,-6$
The 1st particle will reach the ground in 8 secs.
Upto 8 secs, the relative velocity between the particles is 30m/sec and the relative acceleration is zero..
For the 2nd particle,

$-240 = 40t -5t^2$

$\Rightarrow t^2 -8t -48 =0$

$t =12\: secs$
The second particle will strike the ground in 12 secs.
Option(A): Linear behaviour after 8 secs, hence can be eliminated.
Option(B) shows increase until 12 secs , hence is not correct. after 8 secs, separation will decrease.
Option(c) is the correct one.

STATEMENT-1: For an observer looking out through the window of a fast moving train, the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train, while the distant objects appear to be stationary.

STATEMENT-2: If the observer and the object are moving at velocities

$\vec{\mathrm{V}}_{1}$ and

$\vec{\mathrm{V}}_{2}$ respectively with reference to a laboratory frame, the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is

$\vec{\mathrm{V}}_{2}-\vec{\mathrm{V}}_{1}$ .

0%
STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
0%
STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
0%
STATEMENT -1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False
0%
STATEMENT -1 is False, STATEMENT-2 is True

Explanation

Both the statements are true,but correct explanation of statement one is

we,know that

${\theta}=\frac{arc}{radius}$

so value of

${\theta}$ will be more for nearby object and radius will be less wile value of

${\theta}$ will be less for distant object and radius will be more.

that is the reason behind this phenomenon and near one will move faster and distant object will move relatively less(i.e both are moving w.r.t any frame of refrence)

A toy car with charge q moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field

$\overrightarrow{E}$ . Due to the force

$q\overrightarrow{E}$ , its velocity increases from

$0$ to

$6\ m/s$ in one-second duration. At that instant, the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more seconds under the influence of this field. The average velocity and the average speed of the toy car between

$0$ to

$3$ seconds are respectively:

0%
$1$ m/s, $3.5$ m/s
0%
$2$ m/s, $4$ m/s
0%
$1.5$ m/s, $3$ m/s
0%
$1$ m/s, $3$ m/s

Explanation

Acceleration toward +ve

x-direction in first case is a

$v-u=at$

$a=\frac{6}{1}=6m/s^{2}$

when field reserved acceleration changed to

$a=-6m/s^{2}$

$x=\frac{1}{2}at_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}*6*1=3m$

$y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at_{2}^{2}=6*2+\frac{1}{2}(-6)*2^{2}$

$y=12-12=0$

$x_{2}=$ distance traveled is 1 sec

$x_{2}=6*1-\frac{1}{2}(6)*1$

$=3m$

total distance cover

$=x_{1}+2x_{2}=9m$

Total dispalcement

$=3m$

Average velocity =

$\dfrac{displacement \ cover}{time \ taken}=\dfrac{3}{3}=1 \ m/s$

Average speed

$=\dfrac{distance \ cover}{time \ taken}=\dfrac{9}{3}=3 \ m/s$

A ball is dropped from a bridge

$122.5 m$ high. After the first ball has fallen for

$2 seconds$ , a second ball is thrown straight down after it, what must be the initial velocity of the second ball be, so that both the balls hit the surface of water at the same time?

0%
$26.1 {m}/{s}$
0%
$9.8 {m}/{s}$
0%
$55.5 {m}/{s}$
0%
$49 {m}/{s}$

Explanation

Time taken by the first object to reach the ground $= t$ , so

$122.5 = ut + \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} g{t}^{2}$

$122.5 = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times {t}^{2}$

$\Rightarrow t = 5 sec$ (approx)

Time to be taken by the second ball to reach the ground $= 5 2 = 3 sec$ .

If $u$ be its initial velocity then,

$122.5 = u \times 3 + \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} g{t}^{2} = 3u + \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 9$

$3u = 122.5 -45 = 77.5$

$u = 26$ (approx)

If a car at rest accelerated uniformly to a speed of

$144 {km}/{hour}$ in

$20 second$ it covers a distance:

0%
$400 m$
0%
$1440 m$
0%
$2880 m$
0%
$25 m$

Explanation

$u = 0, v = 144 {km}/{hour}= 144 \times \displaystyle\frac{5}{18} {m}/{sec} = 40 {m}/{sec}$

$v = u + at$

$\Rightarrow a = \displaystyle\frac{v-u}{t} = \displaystyle\frac{40-0}{20} = 2 {m}/{{sec}^{2}}$

$\therefore s = ut + \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} a{t}^{2}$

$= \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times {\left(20\right)}^{2} = 400 m$

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a given velocity such that it rises for T seconds (T > 1). What is the distance traversed by the ball during the last one second of ascent (in meters) ? (Acceleration due to gravity is g

$v+g\dfrac{(1-2T)}{2}$
0%
$vT + \frac {1}{2} g [T^2 - (T-1)^2]$
0%
$\dfrac {g}{2}$
0%
$\frac {1}{2} g [T^2 - (T-1)^2]$

When a ball is thrown vertically upwards, it reaches a maximum height of 5m. The initial velocity of the ball was ?

0%
5 m/s
0%
50 m/s
0%
10 m/s
0%
25 m/s

Explanation

Answer is C.

The equation is given as

${ v }^{ 2 }-{ u }^{ 2 }=2as$ .
where,
v = final velocity,
u = initial velocity,
a = acceleration due to gravity,

$10\quad m/{ s }^{ 2 }$ ,
s = h = height traveled.
Therefore, we can find u with above info. In this case, v = 0 at the top of the path.

$0-{ u }^{ 2 }=2\times 10\times 5\quad =\quad 10\quad m/s.$
Hence, the initial velocity of the ball was 10 m/s.

Which of the following is/are equations of uniformly accelerated motion relating the initial velocity (u), final velocity (v), time (t), acceleration (a) and displacement (S).

0%
${v^2 = u^2+2aS}$
0%
${v = u+at}$
0%
${S = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2}$

All the above

Explanation

The equations of motion relate to the following five quantities:
u - initial velocity
v - final velocity
a - acceleration
t - time
s - displacement
Of the above u, v, a, and s are vector quantities. As such, remember to make vectors going in one direction positive and vectors in the opposite direction negative.
Time (t) is a scalar quantity.
If any three of the five quantities are known then the other two may be calculated using the following three equations:

$v=u+at$
$s=ut+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } at^{ 2 }$
${ v }^{ 2 }{ =u }^{ 2 }+2as$

$20 s$ after starting from rest. If it travels a distance

${X}_{1}$ , in the first

$10 s$ and distance

${X}_{2}$ , in the remaining

$10 s$ , then which of the following is true ?

0%
${X}_{1} = 2{X}_{2}$
0%
${X}_{1} = {X}_{2}$
0%
${X}_{1} = 3{X}_{2}$
0%
None of these

Explanation

from eq

$s=ut+(1/2)a(t^2)$

initial velocity

$u=0 m/sec$ (particle starts from rest)

$x_1=(1/2)a(t^2)$

$x_1=(1/2)a(10^2)$

$x_1=50a$ ------------------(1)

now initial velocity for

$x_2$ is the final velocity of

$x_1$

let final velocity of

$x_1$ =initial velocity of

$x_2=v$

so,

$v=u +at$

$v=at$

$v=10a$ (since u=0 and t=10)

now

$x_2=ut+(1/2)a(t^2)$

$x_2=(10a)*10+(1/2)a(10^2)$

$x_2=100a+50a$

$x_2=150a$ -------------------------(2)

now

$\dfrac{(2)}{(1)}=\dfrac{x_1}{x_2}$

$\dfrac{x_1}{x_2}=\dfrac{50a}{150a}$

$3x_1=x_2$

In which of the following option could represent the ball increasing its speed?

A constant force acting on a body of mass of 5kg change its speed from 5

$ms^{-1}$ to 10

$ms^{-1}$ in 10 s without changing the direction of motion. The force acting on the body is

0%
1.5 N
0%
2 N
0%
2.5 N
0%
5 n

Explanation

Here, m=5 kg, u=5

$ms^{-1}$ , v=10

$ms^{-1}$ , t= 10s
Using v=u+at

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}=\dfrac{(10-5)ms^{-1}}{10 s}= 0.5 ms^{-2}$
As F=ma

$\therefore F=(5 kg)(0.5ms^{-2})= 2.5N$

line,Where t is time in seconds.It covers a distance of

0%
2 m
0%
4 m
0%
6 m
0%

Explanation

Velocity,

$u=|t-2|$

Time,

$t=4\ s\\$

$t=0,\ u=2\ m/s\\t=2,\ u=0\ m/s\\t=4\ , u=2\ m/s$

between time

$t=0\ to\ t=2 sec$

$a=\dfrac{0-2}{2}=-1\ m/s^2$

$s_1=ut+\dfrac12 at^2\\ s_1=2\times 2+\dfrac12\times (-1)\times 4=2$

Between time

$t=2\ to\ t=4 sec$

$a=\dfrac{0-2}{2}=1\ m/s^2\\s_2=\dfrac12\times 1\times 4=2$

Thus,

Total distance;

$s_1+s_2=2+2=4\ m$

Thus, during the 4 seconds, the bird travels a distance of 4 m.

Since the car is moving with a constant velocity, so change in the velocity of car is zero i.e.

$\Delta v = 0$
Acceleration of car

$a = \dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = 0 \ m/s^2$

Consider a train which can accelerate with an acceleration of

$20cm/s^2$ and slow down with deceleration of

$100cm/s^2$ . Find the minimum time for the train to travel between the stations 2.7km apart.

Explanation

Max. Speed , $v = u + at = 0.2 t ,$

$v = 0.2 t_1$ ------------(1)

Dec --- $v = u –at$

$0 = v – 1.0 t_2 , v = t_2$ ----(2)

${t_1} = \dfrac{{{t_2}}}{{0.2}} = 5{t_2}\,\,\,\,$

$S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2} at^2$

$S = 2700 m$
$2700 = 0.1 [ (5t_2)^2 + (t_2)^2 - \frac{1}{2} {t_2}^2]$

$r= 80 cm$

$3 { t_2}^2 = 2700$

$t_2 = 30 sec, t_1 = 150 sec$

Total time = $t_1 + t_2 = 150 + 30 = 180 sec$

The displacement of a body is given by

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ , where

$g$ is acceleration due to gravity. The velocity of the body at any time

$t$ is

0%
$\dfrac{gt^{3}}{6}$
0%
$\dfrac{gt^{2}}{6}$
0%
$gt$
0%
$\dfrac{gt}{2}$

Explanation

Given,

Displacement of body, $s=\dfrac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}$

Kinematic equation, $s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}$

On comparing, it is clear that acceleration is equal to $a=g\,$ and initial velocity $u=0.$

Apply kinematic equation

$v=u+at$

$v=0+gt$

$v=gt$

Hence, velocity at time $t$ is $gt.$

A bullet moving with a speed of

$100ms^{-1}$ can just penetrate into two planks of equal thickness. Then the number of such planks, if speed is double will be:

0%
$6$
0%
$10$
0%
$4$
0%
$8$

Explanation

Given that,

Speed of bullet $u=100\,m/s$

Suppose that, the thickness of one plate is s

Now, from the equation of motion

${{v}^{2}}-{{u}^{2}}=-2as$

$0-{{u}^{2}}=-2as\left( s \right)$

${{u}^{2}}\propto s$

Now,

$\dfrac{v_{2}^{2}}{v_{1}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{s}_{2}}}{{{s}_{1}}}$

$\dfrac{\left( {{\left( 2\times 100 \right)}^{2}} \right)}{{{\left( 100 \right)}^{2}}}=\dfrac{{{s}_{2}}}{{{s}_{1}}}$

${{s}_{2}}=4{{s}_{1}}$

${{s}_{2}}=4\times 2s$

${{s}_{2}}=8s$

Hence, is $8$

The motion of a particle of mass

$m$ is describe by

$y = ut + \dfrac{1}{2} gt^2$ . Find the force acting on the particle.

0%
$F = ma$
0%
$F = mg$
0%
$F = 0$
0%
None of these

Explanation

$v=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}\times gt^2$

Differentiate y with respect to t which gives velocity as dy/dt = v

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}$ = $u + \dfrac{1}{2}g (2t)$

v=u + gt -------------------Eqn (1)

Differentiate v with respect to t which gives velocity as d2y/dt2 = dv/dt = a

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}$ = 0 + g

a = g ----------------------Eqn (2)We know that force acting on a mass m is given by F = ma

Now from Eqn (2), substitute a =g, Hence, F = mg
