A piece of wood of mass 0.03 kg is dropped from the top of a 100 m height building. At the same time, a bullet of mass 0.02 kg is fired vertically upward, with a velocity 100 ms–1, from the ground. The bullet gets embedded in the wood. Then the maximum height to which the combined system reaches above the top of the building before falling below is - (g = 10 ms–2)
A
30 m
B
40 m
C
20 m
D
10 m

Explanation

Time taken for the particles to collide,

t = ${f \over {{V_{rel}}}} = {{100} \over {100}} = 1$ sec

Speed of wood just before collision = gt = 10 m/s

& speed of bullet just before collision v-gt

= 100 $-$ 10 = 90 m/s

Now, conservation of linear momentum just before and after the collision -

$-$ (0.02) (1v) + (0.02) (9v) = (0.05)v

$\Rightarrow$   150 = 5v

$\Rightarrow$   v = 30 m/s

Max. height reached by body h = ${{{v^2}} \over {2g}}$

h = ${{30 \times 30} \over {2 \times 10}}$ = 45m

$\therefore$  Height above tower = 40 m

Two forces P and Q, of magnitude 2F and 3F, respectively, are at an angle $\theta$ with each other. If the force Q is doubled, then their resultant also gets doubled. Then, the angle $\theta$ is -
A
90o
B
60o
C
30o
D
120o

Explanation

4F2 + 9F2 + 12F2 cos $\theta$ = R2

4F2 + 36F2 + 24F2 cos $\theta$ = 4R2

4F2 + 36F2 + 24F2 cos $\theta$

= 4(13F2 + 12F2cos$\theta$) = 52F2 + 48F2cos$\theta$

cos $\theta$ = $-$ ${{12{F^2}} \over {24{F^2}}}$ = $-$ ${1 \over 2}$

A block kept on a rough inclined plane, as shown in the figure, remains at rest upto a maximum force 2 N down the inclined plane. The maximum external force up the inclined plane that does not move the block is 10 N. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is : [Take g = 10 m/s2]

A
${{\sqrt 3 } \over 4}$
B
${1 \over 2}$
C
${{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$
D
${2 \over 3}$

Explanation

2 + mg sin30 = $\mu$mg cos30o

10 = mgsin30 + $\mu$ mg cos30o

= 2$\mu$mg cos30 $-$ 2

6 = $\mu$mg cos30

4 = mg sin30

${3 \over 2} = \mu \times \sqrt 3$

$\mu$ = ${{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$

A particle moves in one dimension from rest under the influence of a force that varies with the distance travelled by the particle as shown in the figure. The kinetic energy of the particle after it has travelled 3m is :
A
6.5 J
B
2.5 J
C
5 J
D
4 J

Explanation

According to work energy theorem.

Work done by force on the particle = Change in KE

Work done = Area under F-x graph = $\int {F.dx}$

= $2 \times 2 + {{(2 + 3) \times 1} \over 2}$

W = KEfinal – KEinitial = 6.5

KEinitial = 0

KEfinal = 6.5 J
