A particle is moving in the XY plane such that \(x = \left(t^2 -2t\right)\) m, and \(y = \left(2t^2-t\right)\) m, then:
1. | Acceleration is zero at t = 1 sec |
2. | Speed is zero at t = 0 sec |
3. | Acceleration is always zero |
4. | Speed is 3 m/s at t = 1 sec |
It is raining at 20 m/s in still air. Now a wind starts blowing with speed 10 m/s in the north direction. If a cyclist starts moving at 10 m/s in the south direction, then the apparent velocity of rain with respect to a cyclist will be
1. 20 m/s
2. m/s
3. m/s
4. 30 m/s
River of width 500 m is flowing at a speed of 10 m/s. A swimmer can swim at a speed of 10 m/s in still water. If he starts swimming at an angle of 120° with the flow direction, then the distance he travels along the river while crossing the river is:
1. 250 m
2. m
3. m
4. 500 m
Path of a projectile with respect to another projectile so long as both remain in the air is:
1. Circular
2. Parabolic
3. Straight
4. Hyperbolic
A particle is moving along a circle of radius \(R \) with constant speed \(\mathrm{v}_0\). What is the magnitude of change in velocity when the particle goes from point \(A\) to \(B \) as shown?
1. | \( 2 \mathrm{v}_0 \sin \frac{\theta}{2} \) | 1. | \( \mathrm{v}_0 \sin \frac{\theta}{2} \) |
3. | \( 2 \mathrm{v}_0 \cos \frac{\theta}{2} \) | 4. | \( \mathrm{v}_0 \cos \frac{\theta}{2}\) |
Which of the following statements is incorrect?
1. | The average speed of a particle in a given time interval cannot be less than the magnitude of the average velocity. |
2. | It is possible to have a situation \(|\frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}|\neq0\) but \(\frac{d|\vec{v}|}{dt}=0\) |
3. | The average velocity of a particle is zero in a time interval. It is possible that instantaneous velocity is never zero in that interval. |
4. | It is possible to have a situation in which \(|\frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}|=0\) but \(\frac{d|\vec{v}|}{dt}\neq0\) |
A man is walking on a horizontal road with a speed of 4 km/h. Suddenly, the rain starts vertically downwards with a speed of 7 km/h. The magnitude of the relative velocity of the rain with respect to the man is:
1. km/h
2. km/h
3. 8 km/h
4. 4 km/h
If a body is accelerating, then:
1. | it must speed up. |
2. | it may move at the same speed. |
3. | it may move with the same velocity. |
4. | it must slow down. |
A shell is fired vertically upward with a velocity of 20 m/s from a trolley moving horizontally with a velocity of 10 m/s. A person on the ground observes the motion of the shell-like a parabola whose horizontal range is: (g = 10 m/)
1. | 20 m | 2. | 10 m |
3. | 40 m | 4. | 400 m |
An object of mass m is projected from the ground with a momentum p at such an angle that its maximum height is 1/4 th of its horizontal range. Its minimum kinetic energy in its path will be
1. | \(\frac{p^2}{8 m} \) | 2. | \(\frac{p^2}{4 m} \) |
3. | \(\frac{3 p^2}{4 m} \) | 4. | \(\frac{p^2}{m}\) |
