Two fat astronauts each of mass 120 kg are traveling in a closed spaceship moving at a speed of 15 km/s in the outer space far removed from all other material objects. The total mass of the spaceship and its contents including the astronauts is 660 kg. If the astronauts do slimming exercise and thereby reduce their masses to 90 kg each with ,what velocity will the spaceship move?

Answer» \fbox{Heya!!}

Given Data :-

Speed of space ship :- 15km/s

Mass of astronauts :- 120 +120 = 240

Mass of space ship :- 660 including mass of astronauts

IF mass of astronauts is REDUCED to 90 kg

240 - 90 =150

so 150 kg mass would be reduced

total mass would alter as 660-150 = 510

NOW THE QUESTION IS WHAT WOULD BE THE VELOCITY OF SPACE SHIP

answer

→ velocity would be constant , There would be No Change in velocity

WHY ??

• First we should now what will CAUSE a change in velocity

◾ If any force ACTS on the body in OPPOSITE direction then the velocity change

HERE IN THE GIVEN QUESTION

» Mass had changed but there is no force Created there

» Since there is no force created , there would be no change in velocity

Note :- At first I have did calculations to show the change in mass , and therefore to conclude that No Force would be created

Question 5.15: A short bar magnet of magnetic moment 5.25 × 10 −2 J T −1 is placed with its axis perpendicular to the earth’s field direction. At what distance from the centre of the magnet, the resultant field is inclined at 45º with earth’s field on (a) its normal bisector and (b) its axis. Magnitude of the earth’s field at the place is given to be 0.42 G. Ignore the length of the magnet in comparison to the distances involved.Class 12 - Physics - Magnetism And Matter Magnetism And Matter Page-202

Answer»

(a) at NORMAL bisector,
\bf{tan\theta=\frac{B_H}{B}}
here, according to question resultant FIELD is INCLINED at 45° with earth's field.
so, \theta=45°
so, tan45°= 1 = \frac{B_H}{B}
so, B_H=B=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{M}{r^3}
Given, B =0.42 × 10^-4 T , M = 5.25 × 10^-2J/T
so, 0.42 × 10^-4 = 10^-7 × 5.25 × 10^-2/r³
r³ = 12.5 × 10^-5 = 125 × 10^-6
r = 5 × 10^-2 m = 5cm

(b) at axis of magnet,
tan45° = 1 = B/B_H
B_H=B=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{2M}{r^3}
so, 0.42 × 10^-4 = 10^-7 × 2 × 5.25 × 10^-2/r³
r³ = 25 × 10^-5 = 250 × 10^-6
r = 6.3 CM

A horizontal force of constant magnitude F acts on the rod at a distance of L/4 from the center, The force is always perpendicular to the rod. Find the angle rotated by the rod during the time t after the motion starts?

Answer»

Given in the question :-


Rod MASS = m

Rod length = l

force acting perpendicular from the DISTANCE L/4



Now the torque which acts on the rod

T = F * \frac{L}{4}



Moment of INERTIA of the rod

I= \frac{mL^2}{12}



Angular ACCELERATION of the rod,

α = T/I

α = FL*12/4mL²

\alpha = \frac{3F}{mL}



At time t , angle rotation in the rod

\theta = 0  * t+\frac{1}{2} at^2

=1/2 × (3F/mL) × t²

θ= 3Ft²/2mL

A pendulum is hanging from the ceiling of a cage T1, T2 are the tensions in the string. When the cage is moving upward and downward with same acceleration. What is the tension in the string if is move horizontaly? (solve in IIT method).

Answer»

Final ANSWER :
T = \sqrt{\frac{T_1^2+T_2^2}{2}}

Steps:
1) Let the acceleration be 'a' in all cases.
We got,
When acceleration is downward,
mg-T_2=ma \\ => T_2 =m(g-a) --(1)

2) When acceleration is upward ,
T_1 -mg = ma \\ => T_1 = m(g+a) --(2)

3) When acceleration is horizontal,
T \sin(\theta) = ma \\  T \cos(\theta) = mg \\  => T^2 = (mg)^2 + (ma)^2 \\  => T = m \sqrt{g^2 + a^2 }

4) Squaring EQ. (1) and (2) :
T_1^2 + T_2^2 = 2m^2( a^2 + g^2) \\  => T_1^2+ T_2^2 = 2T^2 \\  => T = \sqrt{\frac{T_1^2+T_2^2}{2}}
Hope , you got desired answer.

A body rotating at 20 rad /s is acted upon by a constant torque providing it a deceleration of 2 rad/s², At what time will the body have kinetic energy same as the initial value if the torque continues to act . ?

Answer»

Given in thew question :-

Initial velocity = 20 rad / second.

\alphatherefore = 20 rad/second²


Due to the TORQUE the effect of DECLARATION on the body , the body will start accelerating in OPPOSITE direction.

Therefore the initial Kinetic ENERGY = K.e at any instant.

Hence Init. velocity = velocity at any instant


\omega'Now Fin. velocity =(-ω)= -20 rad/ second.

\omega = 20 rad/secondInit. velocity


Therefore we know the formula ,

\omega' = \omega - \alpha t

\omega' = -\omegasince

Hence,

-\omega = \omega - \alpha t


2.ω = α t

t = (2 × ω) / α

t = (2 × 20 )/2


t = 20 second.




Hope it Helps :-)

A man can swim in still water at a speed of 6kmph and he has to cross the river and reach just opposite point on the other bank. if the river is flowing at a speed of 3kmph, he has to swim in the direction

Answer»

Final ANSWER : tan^{-<klux>1</klux>}(1/2) with the vertical.

Steps :
1) Man has to swim in such a way that, he WANT to reach just opposite point on the other bank.
=> Drift is 0 .

2)Speed of River is 3km/h in horizontal direction.
=> For Drift to be zero, Horizontal component of velocity of man should be 3km/h leftward.
as SHOWN. We get,
|v_x| = 3 km/h \\  |v_y| = 6 km/h \\  => \tan(\theta) = \frac{|v_x|}{|v_y|} \\  => \tan(\theta) = \frac{1}{2}

Hence, Man has to swim by making angle \theta with vertical.

A block of mass 2 kg is placed on the floor . The coefficient of static friction between the two surfaces is 0.4. A horizontal force of 2.8 N is applied on the block parallel to the floor, what is the force of friction between the block and the floor? g=9.8m

Answer»

The friction FORCE maximum=0.4(2)(9.8)=7.84N.
the force acting on BLOCK is 2.8N.
but friction force can't EXCEED the applied force,if so the block will MOVE in opposite DIRECTION of applied force.
so friction force is 2.8N or -2.8N with sign.

A train starting from rest, pick up a speed of 10m/s in 100s. It continues to move at the same speed for the next 250s. It is then brought to rest in the next 50s. Plot a speed – time graph for the graph. Calculate a) the acceleration b) retardation c) total distance travelled by the train

Answer»

Hey dear.....

First let us plot the graph with the data given.

Let the starting point be the ORIGIN in the speed - time graph.




(a) Uniform rate of acceleration = slope of AB
= (20−0) (m/s)/ [(200−0) s]
= 0.1 m/s2.

(b) Uniform retardation = − slope of CD

= − (0−20)(m/s) /[(800−700)s]

= 0.2 m/s2.

(c) Total distance COVERED before stopping = area under the curve ABCD
= area of ΔABE + area of rectangle BCFE + area of ΔCDF
= ½ x 200 x 20 + 500 x 20 + ½ x 100 x 20 m
= 2000 + 10000 + 1000 m
= 13,000 m = 13 km

(d) Average speed = Total distance covered/total time taken = 13000 m /(800 s)
= 16.25 m/s

HOPE IT HELPS ✌ ✌ ✌

A 10 kg ball is dropped from a height of 10m. Find(a) the initial potential energy of the ball , (b) the kinetic energy just before it reaches the ground, and (c) the speed just before it reaches the ground. (Ans: 980J, 980J, 14m/s)

Answer»

(a). Mass of the Body = 10 kg.

Height = 10 m.

Acceleration DUE to gravity = 9.8 m/s².


Using the Formula,

Potential Energy = mgh

= 10 × 9.8 × 10

= 980 J.


(B). Now, By the law of the conservation of the Energy, Total amount of the energy of the system remains constant.


∴ Kinetic Energy before the body REACHES the ground is equal to the Potential Energy at the height of 10 m.


∴ Kinetic Energy = 980 J.



(c). Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

Mass of the ball = 10 kg.


∵ K.E. = 1/2 × mv²

∴ 980 = 1/2 × 10 × v²

∴ v² = 980/5

⇒ v² = 196

∴ v = 14 m/s.



Hope it helps.

Two small glass spheres of mass 10g and 20g are moving in a straight line in the same direction with the velocities of 3m/s and 2m/s respectively. They colied with each other and after collision, glass sphere of mass 10g moves with a velocity of 2.5 m/s. Find the velocity of second ball after collision.ANSWER IT FAST EXTREMELY URGENT.

Answer» INITIAL momentum of first SPHERES = MV = 0.1×3=0.3kg m/s

initial momentum of second SPHERE = mv = 0.2×2 = 0.4kg m/s
After the collision
final momentum of first sphere= mv = 0.1×2.5=0.25kg m/s
final momentum of second sphere =mv =0.2×v = 0.2kg m/s
initial momentum = final momentum
0.3+0.4 = 0.25 + 0.2v
0.7 = 0.25 +0.2v
0.45 = 0.2v
v= 2.25m/s

When you lift a box from the floor and put it on an almirah the potential energy of the box increases but there is no change in its kinetic energy. Is it violation of conservation of energy? Explain.

Answer»

Law of the Conservation of the energy states that the total sum of the kinetic and the potential energy remains the constant.


Also, It states that the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be converted into one form to another.


No, It is not the VIOLATION of the Principle of the Conservation of the Energy.

The Energy of the system is conversed when there is no EXTERNAL force applied on the body.


In the Given case, External Force have DONE the work on the box to take it from floor to the ALMIRAH. By doing this, The potential energy of the box has been increased and the Kinetic Energy remains the constant.


Hence, it is not the violation of the law of the conservation of the energy.

What is electric current. Name and define its S I unit in a conductor electrons flowing from B to A . What is the direction of conventional current. Give justification for your answer. A steady current of 1 Ampere flows through a conductor.Calculate the number of electrons that flows through any section in 1 second? (charge of electrons 1.6 * 10^-9.....Plz Help...

Answer»

Current is the NET flow of charged particles. It's measured in Amperes. Current is modeled as the flow of positively charged particles, so that if ELECTRONS flow from B to A, convention states that current FLOWS from A to B. This is the convention because Benjamin FRANKLIN decided it a few centuries ago.

1 A * 1 s = 1 C

1 C * 1 electron / (1.6 * 10^-19 C) = 6.25*10^18

During a heavy rain, hailstones of average size 1.0 cm in diameter fall with an average speed of 20 m/s. Suppose 2000 hailstones strike every square meter of a 10m x 10m roof perpendicularly in one second and assume that the hailstones do not rebound. Calculate the average force exerted by the falling hailstones on the roof. Density of a hailstone is 900 kg/m³.

Answer»

Thanks for asking the QUESTION!


ANSWER::


Diameter of hailstone , d = 1.0 cm

v = 20 m/s

u = 0

ρ = 900 kg/m³ = 0.9 gm/cm³


Volume of hailstone = (4/3)πr³ = (4/3)π(0.5)³ = 0.5238 cm³


Mass of hailstone = vρ = 0.5238 x 0.9 = 0.4714258 gm


Mass of 2000 hailstone = 2000 x 0.4714258 = 942.8516


Rate of change in MOMENTUM per unit area = 942.8516 x 2000 = 1885703.2

=18.85 kg m/s²

= 18.85 N


Total force on roof = 18.85 x 10 x 10 = 1885 N ≈ 1900 N



Hope it helps!

Why is it easier to carry the same amount of water in two buckets, one in each hand rather than in a single bucket?

Answer»

THANKS for the question!

It is definitely a very interesting question to solve and do some brainstorming.

**************************************************


It is easier to carry two buckets of water in one hand each, than to carry only one in one hand becausethe centre of gravity and centre of EQUILLIBRIUM fall within the FEET.


The weight is SPACED out more evenly on both the sides of the body than it would be if you had to carry in a single BUCKET.

from the top of a tower of height 40m a ball is projected upward with a speedof 20m/sec at an elevation of 30degrees . the ratio of the total time taken by the ball to hit the ground to its time of flight (time taken to come back to the point of projection is g=10m/s

Answer»


Time TAKEN to reach maximum height in a horizontal projection :

H = 20²sin²30° / 2 × 10

H = (400 × 0.25) / 20 = 5m

TOTAL height is :

5 + 40 = 45 m

Time of flight = (2 × 20 × SIN 30) / 10 = 2 seconds

Time of FREE fall is √(2 × 45)/10 = √9 = 3 seconds.

The total time taken to reach the ground is thus :

1 + 3 = 4 Seconds

The ratio is thus :

4 : 2

containers of same volume with atomic hydrogen and Helium respectively at 1 and 2 ATM pressure if the temperature of both specimen are same then average speed of for hydrogen atoms will be

Answer»

HEYA MATE,

HERE IS UR ANSWER.

Thanks for ASKING this question.

You said equal mass of Helium, since the MOLECULAR weight of He is double that of H2, this means you have twice as many H2 molecules as Helium. Everything ELSE being equal, HALF of the molecules will then give you half of the pressure in this case 1 atm of Helium.

The trap here it that you base on weight instead of molecules. If the number of molecules were the same, then the pressure WOULD be the same too but the mass of He would then be double.

When tall buildings are constructed on earth, the duration of day-night slightly increases. Is it true?

Answer»

Answer ⇒ Yes, the DURATION of day-night slightly increases when tall buildings are constructed on earth.


Explanation ⇒ When the tall buildings are constructed, the EFFECTIVE radius of the earth slightly (means very small, approximately zero. Sometimes EXPRESSED as the Limit tends to zero) increases.


We know that the mass remains the constant, thus the moment of inertia of the earth which is represented by 'l' is slightly increases.


To conserve the angular momentum ( represented by L) of the earth the angular velocity (ω = L/I) will slightly decreases. This means that the earth rotates slower now and takes more time to complete one ROTATION. Thus the the duration of day-night slightly increases.

a vehicle travels half the distance l with speed v1 and the other half with speed v2 then its average speed is - solution

Answer» FORMULA for AVERAGE speed=total distance/total time

Let distance traveled =D

time taken in completing first HALF distance
=D/2(V1).
time taken to complete SECOND half distance
=D/2v2.
so total time taken =D/2v2 + D/2v1
=D(v1+v2)/2v1v2.

so average speed=D/[D(v1+v2)/2v1v2]

=2v1v2/(v1+v2).
