A body is thrown up with a velocity

$29.23ms!$

$V$ distance travelled in last second of upward motion is

0%
$2.3m$
0%
$6m$
0%
$9.8m$
0%
$4.9m$

Explanation

Total time of motion:

$v=u+at$

$x_0=29.23-9.8\times 6$

$xt=2.98\ sec$
distance total

$\Rightarrow v^2=u^2+2as$

$\Rightarrow 0=(29.23)^2=2\times 9.8 \times s$

$\Rightarrow s=43.59\ m$
Now in

$1.96\ sec$

$s=29.3\times 1.98-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 (1.98)^2$

$s=36.6654$
in last

$s= 43.59-38.66$

$=4.93m$

What is the angle between

$\vec{i} +\vec{j}$ and

$\vec{i}$ ?

0%
$0$
0%
$\pi/6$
0%
$\pi/3$
0%
$\pi/4$

Explanation

We know that

$\cos \theta=\dfrac{|\vec{i} +\vec{j}.\vec{i}|}{|\vec{i} +\vec{j}||\vec{i}|}$

$\cos \theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}.1}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\theta=45^\circ$

The refractive index of glass is measured and values are

$1.49,1.50,1.52,1.54$ and

$1.48$ . Percentage error in the measurement is

0%
$0.0132$ %
0%
$1.32$ %
0%
$0.56$ %
0%
$0.156$ %

Explanation

Now mean absolute error

$=({y}_{1}+{y}_{2}+{y}_{3}+{y}_{4}+{ty}_{5})/5$

$(0.01+0.00+0.02+0.04+0.002)/5=0.09/5=0.018$

relative error

$=$ mean absolute error/ mean value

$=0.018/1.50=0.012$

Now % error in the measurement

$=100\times relative error=100\times 0.012=1.2$ %

Which temperature is same on centigrade as well as on Fahrenheit scale?

0%
$40$
0%
$-40$
0%
Both
0%
None

Explanation

$F=\left(\dfrac{9}{5}\right)C+32$

$F=C$

$C=\left(\dfrac{9}{5}\right)C+32$

$C-\dfrac{9}{5}C=32$

$\dfrac{-4C}{5}=32$

$C=-40$

Initial velocity of a particle moving along straight line with constant acceleration is

$(20 \pm 2) \ m/s$ , if its acceleration is

$a=(5 \pm 0.1) \ m/s^2$ , then velocity of particle with error, after time

A ballet dancer spins about vertical axis at

$120$ rpm, with her arms out stretched, With her arms folded, the M.I. about the same axis of rotation decrease by

$40\%$ . What will be the new rate of revolution ?

0%
$500$ rpm
0%
$300$ rpm
0%
$100$ rpm
0%
$200$ rpm

Explanation

$w = 120$ decrease by

$40\%$

$I' = I - I \cdot \dfrac{4}{10} \Rightarrow I'= \dfrac{3}{5}I$

now apply energy conservation

$\dfrac{3}{5}I \cdot w_0 = I \cdot 120$

$w_0 = 120 \times \dfrac{5}{3} = 200 \,r.p.m.$

A car travelling at a speed of 30 kilometer per hour is brought to a halt in 8 metres by applying brakes. If the same car is travelling at 60 km per hour, it can be brought to a half with same braking power in

0%
$8$ metres
0%
$16$ metres
0%
$24$ metres
0%
$32$ metres

Explanation

Applying kinetic energy theorem

$\Delta KE = \Delta w$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = F \cdot s$

$v^2 \alpha s$

$\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{v_{2}^{2}} = \frac{s_1}{S_2}$

$v_2 = 2v_1$

$= \frac{1}{4} = \frac{s_1}{S_2}$

$s_2 = 4s_1$

$= 4 \times 8$

$= 32$
Hence (A) option is correct answer

An elevator initially at rest supported by a cable passes over a pulley of radius

$0.4m.$ It is accelerated upwards with

$10s.$

0%
23.88
0%

0%
8.96

Explanation

$S =\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$= \frac{1}{2} \times 0.6 \times 10 \times 10$

$= 30m$

$\therefore n \times 2\pi r = 30$

$n = \frac{30}{2 \times {22}{7} \times {4}{10}}$

$= 11.94$

A table fan rotating at a speed of

$2400$ rpm is switched off and the resulting variation of the rpm with time is shown in the figure. The total number of revolutions of the fan before it come to rest is:

0%
$420$
0%
$280$
0%
$190$
0%
$16800$

Explanation

Area under the curve will be the no of revolution

Area

$= \dfrac{1}{2} \times (40 - 10) \times 8 + (10 \times 8) \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (24 - 8) = 120 + 80 + 80 = 280$

$x$ meter. Find the angle of the plane so that the time taken by the body to reach the bottom of the plane is minimum

0%
$60^{\circ}$
0%
$30^{\circ}$
0%
$45^{\circ}$
0%
$53^{\circ}$

Explanation

$bass \rightarrow x meter$

$cos \theta = \dfrac{x}{d}$

$d = (\dfrac{x}{cos\theta })$

$d \rightarrow$

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

$d = 0 + \dfrac{1}{2}g sin\theta t^2$

$\sqrt{\dfrac{2d}{gsin\theta } = t}$

$t \rightarrow$ time taken

$\dfrac{dt}{d\theta } = 0$

$\dfrac{dt}{d\theta } = \sqrt{\dfrac{2d}{9}} \times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{sin \theta }}$

$= (sin\theta )^{-1/2}$

$= -\dfrac{1}{2} (sin \theta )^{-3/2} \times cos \theta = 0$

$\dfrac{dx}{d\theta } = 0$

$\theta= 45$

Explanation

$W= \displaystyle\int \overrightarrow{F}. d \overrightarrow{x}$

$= \displaystyle\int^3_1 x \ dx + \displaystyle\int^3_0 2y \ dy$

$= \left[\dfrac{x^2}{2} \right]^3_1 + \left[ \dfrac{2y^2}{2} \right]^3_0$

$= \dfrac{3^2}{2} - \dfrac12 + 3^2$

$= 4+9$

$=13 \ J$

With what velocity must a body be thrown from Earth's surface so that it may reach a height

$4$ R above the Earth's surface. (Radius of Earth Re=

$6400km,g=9.8m/s^2$ )

0%
$20km$
0%
$10km$
0%
$15km/s$
0%
$22km/s$

Explanation

According to question

We have

$v^2=\frac{8}{5}*g*Re$

$v^2=\frac{8}{5}*10*6400$

$v=4*80$

$v=320m/s$

$v^2=\frac{8}{5}*9.8*6400000$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{8*9.8*6400000}{5}}$

$v=10017.58m/s$

$v=10.017km/s$

A man of

$50kg$ mass is standing in a gravity free space at a height of

$10m$ above the floor. He throws a stone of

$0.5kg$ mass downwards with a speed of

$2m/s$ . When the stone reaches the floor, the distance of the man above the floor will be

0%
$20m$
0%
$9.9m$
0%
$0.1m$
0%
$10m$

Explanation

We know that

$X_{com}=0$

$\frac{M_{mass}X_{mass}+M_{stone}X_{stone}}{M_{stone}+M_{mass}}=0$

$X_{mass}=\frac{-M_{stone}X_{stone}}{M_{mass}}$

$-\frac{0.5*10}{50}=0.1m$

A stone falls freely under gravity. It covers distance

$h_1$ and

$h_2$ in the first

$2$ seconds and the next

$2$ seconds respectively. The relation between

$h_1$ and

$h_2$ is

0%
$h_1=h_2$
0%
$h_1=\frac{1}{3}h_2$
0%
$h_1=3h_2$
0%
$h_2=4h_1$

Explanation

We know that

$h_1=ut + \frac{1}{2}*g*(t)^2$

Therefore we have

$h_1=\frac{1}{2}*g*(2)^2$

$=\frac{4g}{2}=2g$

$v_2=10*2*20$

$h_2=20*2+\frac{1}{2}*g*2^2$

$=40+20=60$

$\frac{h_1}{h_2}=\frac{29}{60}=\frac{1}{3}$

$h_1=\frac{h_2}{3}$

A block on an inclined plane, as shown above, has four forces acting on it.

$\textbf{W:}$ the force of gravity acting downward (weight)

$\textbf{N:}$ a force normal to the surface of the plane

$\textbf{f:}$ a friction force acting along the plane

$\textbf{F:}$ an external applied force acting along the plane.
The following choices illustrate various possibilities when these forces are added, depending on the magnitude and directions of

$f$ and

$F$ .

A physical quantity Q is found to depend on observable x, y and z obeying relation

$4$ % respectively. what is percentage error is the quantity Q.

0%
$11$ %
0%
$4$ %
0%
$1$ %

$3$ %

Explanation

$Q = \dfrac {x^3 y^2}{ z}$

$\dfrac { \Delta Q}{Q} \times 100 = 3 \dfrac { \Delta x}x \times 100 + 3 \times \dfrac { \Delta y}{y} \times 100 + \dfrac { \Delta Z}{z} \times 100$

$\Delta Q= 3 \times (1) +2 (2) + \Delta$

$\Delta Q= 3+ 4 + 4 = 11$ %

0%
$4N$
0%
$6N$
0%
$\frac{320}{9}N$
0%
$\frac{40}{9}N$

Explanation

By figure we have

Onbalaming the forces we get

$T_1-8g=8a$

$T_2+6g-T_1=6a$

$4g-T_2=4a$

$2g=18a$

$a=\frac{g}{9}$

$4g-T_2=\frac{4g}{9}$

$T_2=4g-\frac{4g}{9}$

$=360-\frac{40}{9}$

$=\frac{320}{9}N$

Two solid spheres of same mass are having densities

$d_1$ and

$d_2(d_1<d_2)$ . Their moments of inertia about diameter are

$I_1$ and

$I_2$ respectively. Then,

0%
$I_1 > I_2$
0%
$I_1 < I_2$
0%
$I_1 < I_2$
0%
$I_1d_2=I_2d_2$

Explanation

MI of the solid sphere about diameter =

$\frac{2}{3}MR^2$

$M=$ density * volume

$M_1=d_1(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)$

$M_2=d_2(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)$

$I_1=\frac{3}{5}M_1R_1^2$

$I_2=\frac{3}{5}M_2R_2^{2}$

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=\frac{\frac{3}{5}d_1(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)R^2}{\frac{3}{5}d_2(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)R^2}$

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=\frac{d_1}{d_2}$

$(d_1 < d_2)$

So,

$M_1=M_2=M$

$(\frac{4}{3}\pi R_1^3)d_1=M=(\frac{4}{3}\pi R_{2}^3)d_2$

$(\frac{R_1}{R_2})^3=(\frac{d_2}{d_1})$

$\frac{R_1}{R_2}=(\frac{d_2}{d_1})^{1/3}$

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=\frac{\frac{3}{5}MR_1^2}{\frac{3}{5}MR_2^2}=(\frac{R_1}{R_2})^2$

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=(\frac{d_2}{d_1})^{2/3}$

$d_2 > d_1$

so,

$\frac{d_2}{d_1} > 1$

So,

$(\frac{d_2}{d_1})^{2/3} > 1$

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} > 1$

$I_1 > I_2$
