Question 1

A force F=K(yi+aj) (where K is a positive constant) acts on a particle moving in the xy-plane. Starting from the origin, the particle is taken along the positive x-axis to the point (a, 0) and then parallel to the y-axis to the point (a, a). The total work done by the force F on the particles is

A.

2Ka2

B.

2Ka2

C.

Ka2

D.

Ka2

SOLUTION

Solution : C

While moving from (0,0) to (a,0)

Along positive x-axis, y = 0 F=kx^j

i.e. force is in negative y-direction while displacement is in positive x-direction.

W1=0

Because force is perpendicular to displacement

Then particle moves from (a,0) to (a,a) along a line parallel to y-axis (x = +a) during this F=k(y^i+a^j)

The first component of force, ky^i will not contribute any work because this components is along negative x-direction (^i) while displacement is in positive y-direction (a,0) to (a,a).

 

The second component of force i.e. ka^j

W2=(ka^j)(a^j)=(ka)(a)=ka2

So net work done on the particle W=W1+W2

=0+(ka2)=ka2

 

Question 2

Which of the following is a scalar quantity

 

A.

Displacement

B.

Electric field

C.

Acceleration

A.

16 times

SOLUTION

Solution : A

Work = Force × Displacement

If unit of force and length be increased by four times then the unit of energy will increase by 16 times.

B.

450 mJ

C.

490 mJ

D.

530 mJ

SOLUTION

Solution : A

v=dxdt=38t+3t2

v0=3m/s and v4=19m/s

W=12m(v24v20)  (According to work energy theorem)

=12×0.03×(19232)=5.28 J

A.

mv2πr2

B.

From conservation of energy,

Gain in KE = loss in PE

12mA(2v)2+12mBv2=mAg×35mBg×12

Solving, we get

v=g23
