C is the centre of the Earth. A and B are two diametrically opposite places on the surface of the Earth. From A and B, the parallaxes θ1 and θ2 respectively of Moon M with respect to some distant star are determined with the help of an astronomical telescope. Thus, the total parallax of the Moon subtended on Earth.
\(\angle AMB=\theta_1+ \theta_2=\theta\)
If θ is measured in radians, then
\(\theta=\frac{A B}{A M} ; A M \approx M C \quad {\theta}=\frac{A B}{M C} \text { or } M C=\frac{A B}{\theta}\)
Knowing the values of AB and θ, we can calculate the distance MC of Moon from the Earth.
17.
For the first car: u = 72 kmh-1 = 29 ms-1 = 20 ms-1, v = 0, a = -5 ms-2
As v2 - u2 = 2as
\(\therefore\) 02 - 202 = 2(-5)s.
For the second car: u = 60 kmh-1 = \(\frac{60\times 5}{18}\)
= \(\frac{50}{3}\) ms-1, v = 0, a = -5 ms-2
As v2 - u2 = 2as
\(\therefore 0^2-(\frac{50}{3})^2\) = 2(-5)s2
Distance covered by second car, s2 = \(\frac{2500}{9\times 10}\) = 27.78
Total distance covered by the two cars
\(\Rightarrow\) S1 + S2 = 40 + 27.78 = 67.78 m
As this distance is less than the initial distance (= 80m) between the two cars, so the collision will be averted.
18.
Given: Speed of the bullet = 350 m/s
i.e., u = 350 m/s
s = 5 cm
v = 0 m/s
a = ?
Formula: v2 = u2 + 2as
\(\Rightarrow\) 0 = u2 + 2as
(or) u2 = -2as (or) a = \(\frac{-u^2}{2s}\)
(or) a = \(\frac{-350\times 350}{2\times 0.5}\) = -12.25\(\times\)105 m/sec2.

The two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) in a Cartesian coordinate system can be expressed as
\(\overrightarrow { A } ={ A }_{ x }\hat { i } +{ A }_{ y }\hat { j } +{ A }_{ z }\hat { k } \)
\(\overrightarrow { B } ={ B }_{ x }\hat { i } +{ B }_{ y }\hat { j } +{ B }_{ z }\hat { k } \)
Then the addition of two vectors is equivalent to adding their corresponding x, y and z components.
\(\vec{A}+\vec{B}=(A_x+B_x)\hat{i}+(A_y+B_y)\hat{j}+(A_z+B_z)\hat{k}\)
20.

\(\frac { dy }{ dx } =\underset { \Delta x\rightarrow 0 }{ lim } \frac { y(x+\Delta x)-y(x) }{ \Delta x } \)
\(=\lim _{ \Delta x\rightarrow 0 }{ \frac { \Delta y }{ \Delta x } } \)
\(\frac { dy }{ dx } \) represents the limit that the quantity \(\frac { \Delta y }{ \Delta x } \)
attains, as \(\Delta \)x tends to zero.

21.
(i) In terms of position vector, the displacement vector is given as follows. Consider a particle moving from a point P1 having position vector \(\overrightarrow { { r }_{ 1 } } ={ x }_{ 1 }\hat { i } +{ y }_{ 1 }\hat { j } +{ z }_{ 1 }\hat { k } \) to a point P2 where its position vector is \(\overrightarrow { { r }_{ 2 } } ={ x }_{ 2 }\hat { i } +{ y }_{ 2 }\hat { j } +{ z }_{ 2 }\hat { k } \)
(ii) The displacement vector is given by \(\Delta \overrightarrow { r } =\overrightarrow { { r }_{ 2 } } -\overrightarrow { { r }_{ 1 } } \)
= (x2-x1)\(\hat { i } \) + (y2-y1)\(\hat { j } \)+(z2-z1)\(\hat {k } \)
(iii) This displacement is also shown in

24.
Static friction: The opposing force that comes into play when one body tends to move over the surface of another, but the actual motion has yet not started is called static friction.
Limiting friction: If the applied force is increased the force of static friction also increases. If the applied force exceeds a certain (maximum) value, the body starts moving. This maximum value of static friction up to which body does not move is called limiting friction.
Kinetic or dynamic friction: If the applied force is increased further and sets the body in motion, the friction opposing the motion is called kinetic friction.
We can reduce friction
(1) By polishing.
(2) By lubrication.
(3) By proper selection of material.
(4) By streamlining the shape of the body.
(5) By using ball bearing.

| F sin θ acts downwards along with the weight mg and therefore increases the normal reaction N (Normal reaction is equal to sum of all the vertical forces). And friction is directly dependent on Normal reaction; More in N more is the frictional force. |
F sin θ acts upwards along with the weight mg and therefore decreases the normal reaction N. Therefore the frictional force is reduced. |

(i) Formula: From O to P \(Average\ velocity=\frac{Displacement}{Time\ interval}\)
\(=\frac{+360m}{18s}=+20\ ms^-1\)
\(Average\ speed=\frac{Path\ length}{Time\ interval}=\frac{360m}{18s}=20ms^{-1}\)
(ii) From O to P and back to Q.
\(Average\ velocity=\frac{Displacement}{Time\ interval}\)
\(=\frac{OQ}{18+6}=\frac{+240m}{24s}=10ms^{-1}\)
\(Average\ speed=\frac{Path\ length}{Time\ interval}\)
\(=\frac{OP+OQ}{18+6}=\frac{(360+120)}{24s}=20ms^{-1}\)
28.
Given:
During t1 = 0.1s, distance covered is s1 = 0.3m
During next t2 = 0.1s, distance covered is s2= 0.398m
We know \(s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\)
In this case u = 0, a = g, \(s=\frac{1}{2}gt^2\)
t = t1+ t2 = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2
\(\therefore g=\frac{2s}{t^2}\)
For this problem,
\(g=\frac{2(s_2-s_1)}{t^2}\)
\(g=\frac{2(0.398-0.3)}{(0.2)^2}=\frac{2\times(0.098)}{0.04}=\frac{0.196}{0.04}\)
\(g=\frac{19.6}{4}=4.9m/s^2\)
∴ Acceleration due to gravity in that planet = 4.9 m/s2

(i) Error in the difference of two quantities:
Let \(\triangle\)A and \(\triangle\)B be the absolute errors in the two quantities, A and B, respectively. Then,
Measured value of A = A \(\pm \triangle\)A
Measured value of B = B \(\pm \triangle\)B
Consider the difference, Z =A - B
The error \(\triangle\)Z in Z is then given by
\(Z\pm\triangle Z=(A\pm\triangle A)-(B\pm\triangle B)\)
\(=(A-B)\pm(\triangle A+\triangle B)\)
\(=Z\pm(\triangle A + \triangle B)\)
(or) \(\triangle Z=\triangle A+\triangle B\)
(ii) Error in the division or quotient of two quantities: Let \(\triangle\)A and \(\triangle\)B be the absolute errors in the two quantities A and B respectively.
Consider the quotient, Z = \(A\over B\)
The error \(\triangle\)Z in Z is given by \(Z\pm\triangle Z={A\pm\triangle A\over B\pm\triangle B}={A{(1\pm{\triangle A \over A})\over B{(\pm {\triangle B\over B})}}}={A\over B}(1\pm{\triangle A\over A})(1\pm{\triangle B\over B})^{-1}\)
\(or Z\pm \triangle Z=Z(1\pm {\triangle A\over A})(1\mp{\triangle B\over B}) \) [using (1 +x)n=1+ nx, when x «1]
Dividing both sides by Z, we get, \(1\pm{\triangle Z\over Z}=(1\pm{\triangle A\over A})(1\mp{\triangle B\over B})=1\pm {\triangle A\over A}\mp {\triangle B\over B}\pm{\triangle A\over A}{\triangle B\over B}\)
As the terms \(\triangle\)A / A and \(\triangle\)B/B are small, their product term can be neglected,
The maximum fractional error in Z is given by \({\triangle Z \over Z}=({\triangle A \over A}+{\triangle B\over B})\)
(iii) Error in the power of a quantity: Consider the nth power of A, Z = An The error\(\triangle\) Zin Z is given by
Z\(\pm \triangle\)Z=(A\(\pm \triangle\)A)n=An =\(=(1\pm{\triangle A\over A})^n=Z(1\pm n{\triangle A\over A})\)
We get [(1+x)n + nx, when x« 1] neglecting remaining terms, Dividing both sides by Z
\(1\pm{\triangle Z \over Z}=1\pm n{\triangle A \over A}or{\triangle Z \over Z}=n{\triangle A \over A}\)

If a force (F) acts on the object in a very short interval of time (M), from Newton's second law in magnitude form
Fdt = dp
Integrating over time from an initial time ti to a final time tf, we get
\(\int _{ i }^{ f }{ dp } =\int _{ { t }_{ i } }^{ { t }_{ f } }{ Fdt } \)
pf-pi = \(\int _{ { t }_{ i } }^{ { t }_{ f } }{ Fdt } \)
pi = initial momentum of the object at time ti
Pt = final momentum of the object at time tf.
pf - pi = Δp change in momentum of the object during the time interval
tf - ti = Δt
The integral \(\int _{ { t }_{ i } }^{ { t }_{ f } }{ Fdt } \)=J is called the impulse and it is equal to change in momentum of the object.
If the force is constant over the time interval, then
\(\int _{ { t }_{ i } }^{ { t }_{ f } }{ F } dt=\int _{ i }^{ f }{ dp } \) = F(tf - ti) = FΔt
FΔt = Δp

Galileo's experiment with. the second plane (a) at same inclination angle Cisthe first (b) with increased smoothness (c) with reduced angle of inclination (d) with zero angle of inclination
When a ball rolls from the top of an inclined plane to its bottom, after reaching the ground it moves some distance and continues to move on to another inclined plane of same angle of inclination as shown in the Figure (a). By increasing the smoothness of both the inclined planes, the ball reach almost the same height (h) from where it was released (L1) in the second plane (L2) [figure (b)]. The motion of the ball is then observed by varying the angle of inclination of the second plane keeping the same smoothness. If the angle of inclination is reduced, the ball travels longer distance in the second plane to reach the same height [figure (c)). When the angle of inclination is made zero, the ball moves forever in the horizontal direction [figure (d)]. If the Aristotelian idea were true, the ball would not have moved in the second plane even if its smoothness is made maximum since no force acted on it in the horizontal direction.
