The magnitudes of vectors $$A,$$ $$B$$ and $$C$$ are 3, 4 and 5 units respectively. If $$A + B = C,$$ the angle between $$A$$ and $$B$$ is
A
$$\frac{\pi }{2}$$
B
$${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {0.6} \right)$$
C
$${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{7}{5}} \right)$$
D
$$\frac{\pi }{4}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{\pi }{2}$$
In figure shown, $$A + B = C$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Also,}}\,\left| A \right| = 3,\,\left| B \right| = 4,\,\left| C \right| = 5 \cr
& {\text{As,}}\,A + B = C \cr
& {\text{and}}\,{\left| C \right|^2} = {\left| A \right|^2} + {\left| B \right|^2} + 2\left| A \right|\left| B \right|\cos \theta \cr
& {\text{So,}}\,{5^2} = {3^2} + {4^2} + 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 3\cos \theta \cr
& \cos \theta = 0 \Rightarrow \theta = \frac{\pi }{2} \cr} $$
$$ \Rightarrow A$$ is perpendicular to $$B.$$

A ball whose kinetic energy is $$E$$, is projected at an angle of $${45^ \circ }$$ to the horizontal. The kinetic energy of the ball at the highest point of its flight will be-
A
$$E$$
B
$$\frac{E}{{\sqrt 2 }}$$
C
$$\frac{E}{2}$$
D
Zero
Answer :
$$\frac{E}{2}$$
Let $$u$$ be the speed with which the ball of mass $$m$$ is projected. Then the kinetic energy $$\left( E \right)$$ at the point of projection is-
$$E = \frac{1}{2}m{u^2}\,.....(i)$$
When the ball is at the highest point of its flight, the speed of the ball is $$\frac{u}{{\sqrt 2 }}$$ (Remember that the horizontal component of velocity does not change during a projectile motion).
$$\therefore $$ The kinetic energy at the highest point
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{1}{2}m{\left( {\frac{u}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)^2} \cr
& = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{m{u^2}}}{2} \cr
& = \frac{E}{2}\,\,\left[ {{\text{From (i)}}} \right] \cr} $$

The distance travelled by a particle starting from rest and moving with an acceleration $$\frac{4}{3}m{s^{ - 2}},$$ in the third-second is
A
$$6\,m$$
B
$$4\,m$$
C
$$\frac{{10}}{3}m$$
D
$$\frac{{19}}{3}m$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{10}}{3}m$$
Distance travelled in $${n^{th}}$$ second is given by
$${s_n} = u + \frac{1}{2}a\left( {2n - 1} \right)$$
Here, $$u = 0,\,a = \frac{4}{3}$$
$$\therefore {s_3} = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} \times \left( {6 - 1} \right) = \frac{{10}}{3}m$$

When milk is churned, cream gets separated due to
A
centripetal force
B
centrifugal force
C
frictional force
D
gravitational force
Answer :
centrifugal force
By the concept of centrifugal force cream is separated from milk. A mass $$m$$ of milk revolving at a distance $$r$$ from the axis of rotation of the centrifuge requires a centripetal force $$mr{\omega ^2},$$ where $$\omega $$ is the angular speed of the centrifuge. If in place of this mass of milk, lighter particles of mass (cream) $$m'\left( {m' < m} \right)$$ are present, then the centripetal force $$\left( {mr{\omega ^2}} \right)$$ on the milk will be greater than the centripetal force $$\left( {m'r{\omega ^2}} \right)$$ on the cream.
As a result, cream move towards the axis of rotation under the effect of the net force $$\left( {m - m'} \right)r{\omega ^2}.$$ When the centrifuge is stopped, the cream is found at the top and milk at the bottom.

A man leaves his house for a cycle ride. He comes back to his house after half-an-hour after covering a distance of one $$km.$$ What is his average velocity for the ride ?
A
zero
B
$$2\,km\,{h^{ - 1}}$$
C
$$10\,km\,{s^{ - 1}}$$
D
$$\frac{1}{2}\,km\,{s^{ - 1}}$$
Answer :
zero
Since displacement is zero.

A boat which has a speed of $$5\,km/hr$$ in still water crosses a river of width $$1\,km$$ along the shortest possible path in 15 minutes. The velocity of the river water in $$km/hr$$ is
A
$$3$$
B
$$4$$
C
$$\sqrt {21} $$
D
$$1$$
Answer :
$$3$$
Speed along the shortest path $$ = \frac{1}{{\frac{{15}}{{60}}}} = 4\,km/hr$$
Speed of water $$v = \sqrt {{5^2} - {4^2}} = 3\,km/hr$$

Two particles $$A$$ and $$B$$ separated by a distance $$2R$$ are moving counter clockwise along the same circular path of radius $$R$$ each with uniform speed $$v.$$ At time $$t = 0,$$ $$A$$ is given a tangential acceleration of magnitude $$a = \frac{{72{v^2}}}{{25\pi R}}$$ then
A
the time lapse for the two bodies to collide is $$\frac{{6\pi R}}{{5v}}$$
B
the angle covered by $$A$$ is $$\frac{{11\pi }}{6}$$
C
angular velocity of $$A$$ is $$\frac{{11v}}{{5R}}$$
D
radial acceleration of $$A$$ is $$\frac{{289{v^2}}}{{5R}}$$
Answer :
the angle covered by $$A$$ is $$\frac{{11\pi }}{6}$$
As when they collide
$$\eqalign{
& vt + \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{{72{v^2}}}{{25\pi R}}} \right){t^2} - \pi R = vt \cr
& \therefore t = \frac{{5\pi R}}{{6v}} \cr} $$
Now, angle covered by $$A = \pi + \frac{{vt}}{R}$$
$${\text{Put}}\,t,\therefore {\text{angle covered by }}A = \frac{{11\pi }}{6}$$

An athlete completes one round of a circular track of radius $$R$$ in $$40\,\sec .$$ What will be his displacement at the end of $$3\,\min. \,20\sec .$$ ?
A
Zero
B
$$2R$$
C
$$2\,\pi R$$
D
$$7\,\pi R$$
Answer :
Zero
Total time of motion is $$3\,\min \,20\sec = 20\,\sec .$$ As time period of circular motion is $$40\,\sec $$ so in $$20\,\sec $$ athlete will complete 5 revolution i.e., he will be at starting point i.e., displacement = zero.

Two cars of mass $${m_1}$$ and $${m_2}$$ are moving in circles of radii $${r_1}$$ and $${r_2}$$ respectively. Their speeds are such that they make complete circles in the same time $$t.$$ The ratio of their centripetal acceleration is:

A particle of mass $$m$$ is projected with a velocity $$\upsilon $$ making an angle of $${30^ \circ }$$ with the horizontal. The magnitude of $$\left( {{V_h} \times h} \right)$$ of the projectile when the particle is at its maximum height $$h$$
A
$$\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\frac{{{\upsilon ^2}}}{g}$$
B
zero
C
$$\frac{{{\upsilon ^3}}}{{\sqrt 2 g}}$$
D
$$\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{{16}}\frac{{{\upsilon ^3}}}{g}$$
