QUESTIONS FOR SHORT ANSWER



1. Magnitude | a| will remain uncharged. B = a

∆a = B − A = a 2 + a 2 + 2a 2 cos( π − dθ)

–a
= 2a2 (1 − cos θ) ⇒ 2a2 (1 − 1 + 2 sin 2dθ / 2) = 2a sin d θ/2

2 Speedometer measure speed of car as it only gives the magnitude.

3 When particle is moving with constant velocity its average velocity and instantaneous velocity will be
same and magnitude of instantaneous velocity will also be same.

possible zero displacement and non zero V is possible if particle
t
is reversing and coming to starting point. Show on x-t graph by an example.

6 Speed of projectile is smallest at the highest point.

7 Both the ball will hit the ground with same speed.
8 If sack of rice is dropped when it is just above the centre it will fall ahead of circle because sack will
have velocity same as plane in horizontal direction.
9 Ist Curve : at particular time x has more than one value hence not a 1-D motion.


IInd Curve : | V| cannot be negative

IIIrd Curve : Length of a moving body can not decrease with time
10 Ist Curve : A ball moving forward collides with surface rebounds and stops after IInd collision
IInd Curve : A ball repeatedly making inelastic collisions with floor.
IIIrd Curve : Collision of a ball with surface. {Surface has large velocity for short time}

11 (a) is incorrect car can not travel around track with constant velocity as direction is continuously
changing.
(b) correct

12 Ball at maximum height V = 0 for just an instant but acceleration due to gravity.

14 Initially bullet is at rest u = 0 V2 = 0 + 2as

V2
∴ a= muzzle velocity is more for short barrl and S is also less hence acceleration will be more in that case.

15 Hence we can not conclude that velocity of boat is 5 m/sec w.r.t. shore

VBottle = Vriver ; VB – VR = 5
16 Yes wrench will hit at the same place on the deck irrespective of that boat is at rest or moving because
when boat is at rest wrench will have zero horizontally velocity and when boat is moving both will have
same horizontal velocity.
17 Acceleration of the projectile remains constant throughout the journey = g
18 (a) In child point of view range will be same in both the cases.
(b) In ground frame of reference
VCT = VC – VT
VC = VCT + VT
For front range Vcannon = VC cos θ + VT Range will be more
For Rear range Vcannon = VC cos θ – VT Range will be less

d
