i.e., s = O. Hence, using equation s = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\) at2, we have
0 = 49 ± - \(\frac {1} {2}\) x 9.8 x t2

As t = 0 is physically not possible, hence time t = 10 s.

We know, the vertical distance travelled by a projectile in time t is given by,
Y = u sin \(\theta\)\(\times\)t- \(\frac{1}{2}\)gt2
If h be the height of point p, then for y = It,
we have h = u sin \(\theta\)\(\times\)t-\(\frac{1}{2}\)gt2
or \(\frac{1}{2}\)gt2 - u sin \(\theta\)\(\times\)t + h = 0
or t2-\(\frac { 2u\quad sin\theta }{ g } .t+\frac { 2h }{ g } \)
This equation is quadratic in t and has two roots t1 and t2. Thus there are two values of time for which the height of the projectile is same during flight of projectile.
\(t=\frac { \frac { 2u\quad sin\theta }{ g } \pm \sqrt { \left( \frac { 2u\ sin\theta }{ g } \right) ^{ 2 }-\frac { 8h }{ g } } }{ 2 } \)
\(t=\ \frac { usin\theta }{ g } \pm \sqrt { \frac { { u }^{ 2 }{ sin }^{ 2 }\theta }{ { g }^{ 2 } } -\frac { 2h }{ g } } \)
\(\therefore { t }_{ 1 }=\frac { usin\theta }{ g } \pm \sqrt { \frac { { u }^{ 2 }{ sin }^{ 2 }\theta }{ { g }^{ 2 } } -\frac { 2h }{ g } } \)
and \({ t }_{ 2 }=\frac { usin\theta }{ g } -\sqrt { \frac { { u }^{ 2 }{ sin }^{ 2 }\theta }{ { g }^{ 2 } } -\frac { 2h }{ g } } \)
Now \({ t }_{ 1 }+{ t }_{ 2 }=\frac { 2usin\theta }{ g } \)(Time during the course of flight).
Thus, the sum of times for the same height is equal to the total time of flight.

18.
Compressibility of the material of a body is defined as the reciprocal of its bulk modulus. It is, thus, defined as the fractional change in volume per unit increase in pressure.
Compressibility, K=\(\frac { 1 }{ B } =-\left( \frac { \triangle V }{ V } \right) \times \frac { 1 }{ P } \)
The solids are least compressible whereas gases are most compressible. It is on account of the fact that in solids neighbouring atoms are tightly coupled but molecules in gases are very poorly coupled to their neighbours.
19.
If two bodies made of same material and have the same mass but different temperatures T1; and T2 ' then their equilibrium temperature T when they are brought in thermal contact will be \(\frac { \left( { T }_{ 1 }+{ T }_{ 2 } \right) }{ 2 } \)
[\(\because\) Heat lost = Heat gained]
The equilibrium temperature T will not be necessarily \(\frac { \left( { T }_{ 1 }+{ T }_{ 2 } \right) }{ 2 } \) if two bodies in thermal equilibrium have different heat capacities
20.
If we replace \(sin\theta \approx \theta \) for large angles, then actually \(sin\theta <\theta \)
Now since this factor is multiplied to the restoring force mg\(sin\theta \) is replaced by \(mg\theta \) which means ana effective reduction in g for large angles. hence, there is an increase in time period T over that given by the formula \(T=2\pi \sqrt { \frac { l }{ g } } \) as compared to the acse which it is assumed \(sin\theta \simeq \theta \)
21.

Volume of block, V-lbh
The percentage error in the volume is given by
\(\frac { \triangle V }{ V } \times 100=\left( \frac { \triangle l }{ l } +\frac { \triangle b }{ b } +\frac { \triangle h }{ h } \right) \times 100\)
\(=\left( \frac { 0.02 }{ 12.13 } +\frac { 0.01 }{ 8.16 } +\frac { 0.01 }{ 3.46 } \right) \times 100\)
\(=\frac { 200 }{ 1213 } +\frac { 100 }{ 816 } +\frac { 100 }{ 346 } \)
\(=0.1649+0.1225+0.2890\)
\( =0.58%\)
24.
We first find when and where the two balls collide. Let them collide at an instant f seconds after they start their respective motion. Clearly the two balls are at the same height above the ground at this instant.

The height of the first ball after t seconds = 49 t - 1/2 x 9.8t2 = 4.9 t (10 - t)
Also the height of the second ball after t seconds = 98 - downward distance moved by it in t seconds.
= \(98-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^{2}=4.9(20-t^{2})\)
∴ \(4.9 t (100-t)=4.9(20-t^{2}) \)
or \(10t-t^{2}=20-t^{2}\ or \ t=2s\)
The balls thus collide two seconds after the start of their motion. Their velocities at this instant are
First ball: \(v_{1}=(49-9.8 \times 2) m/s\)
= 29.4 m/ s directed upwards
Second ball: v2 = \((0+9.8 \times 2)\) m/s
= 19.6 m/s directed downwards
if v is the velocity of the combined mass of the two balls after they stick together folluwing
their collision, we have, by principle of conservation of momentum.
\(200\times v=100 \times 29.4 -100 \times 19.6\)
∴ v = 4.9 m/s
The 'combined mass' thus moves upward, after collision with a velocity of 4.9 m/s. Its height above the ground at this instant is (considering the position of either of the two balls before collision)
\((98-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times 2^{2})m= (98-19.6)m = 78.4 m\)
We can now find the time t' taken by the 'combined mass' of the two balls to fall to ground.
We have for this 'combined mass',
u = 4.9 m/s ,s = -78.4 m, a = - g = -9.8 ms-2
ஃ -78.4= 4.9t'+1/2 (-9.8)t'2
or t'2-t'-16=0
ஃ \(t^{'}=\frac{1\pm \sqrt{1+64}}{2} = \frac{1\pm 8.06}{2}\)
= 4.532 s (leaving out the negative solution)
The 'combined mass' thus takes 4.53 s to fall to the ground. Since the balls collided
2 s after they started their motion, their total time of flight is (2 + 4.53) s = 6.53 s.
25.
u = 0, a = 2 ms-2, t = 10s
Using equation, v = u + at, we get
v = 0 + 2 x 10 = 20 ms-1
(a) Let us first consider horizontal motion. The only force acting on the stone is force of gravity which acts vertically downwards.
Its horizontal component is zero. Moreover, air resistance is to be neglected. So, horizontal motion is uniform motion.
\(\therefore\)v x = v = 20 ms-1
Let us now consider vertical motion which is controlled by force of gravity.
u=0, a = g = 10 ms-2, t = (11 - 10) s = 1s
Using v =u + at, vy = 0 + 10 x 1 = 10 ms-1
Resultant velocity,
\(v=\sqrt{V^2_x+V^2_y}\)
\(v=\sqrt{20^2+10^2}ms^{-1}\)
\(=\sqrt{500}ms^{-1}\)
= 22.36 ms-1
\(tan \beta ={v_y\over v_x}={10\over20}={1\over2}=0.5\)
or \(\beta =\)tan-1 (0.5) = 26.56°
or \(\beta =\) 26° 34'. This angle is with the horizontal.
(b) The moment the stone is dropped from the car, horizontal force on the stone is zero. The only acceleration of the stone is that due to gravity. This gives a vertically downward acceleration of 10 ms-2. This is also the net acceleration of the stone.
26.
Bats emit ultrasonic waves of large frequencies. These waves will be reflected by the obstacles in their path. The reflected rays received by the bat will give idea about the obstacle, i.e. distance, direction, size and nature.
27.
Given, T1 = 270C = 27 + 273 = 300K
T2 = 00 C = 0 + 273
= 273K
As we know, to freeze one gram of water 00C, 80cal of heat must be transferred from water at 0oC to the surrounding at 270C.
Q2 = 80 cal
The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator,
\(\beta =\frac { { Q }_{ 2 } }{ W } =\frac { { T }_{ 2 } }{ { T }_{ 1 }-{ T }_{ 2 } } \Rightarrow \frac { 80 }{ W } =\frac { 273 }{ 300-273 } \)
\(\\ \Rightarrow 7.91\ cal\)
28.
Let T be the temperature of the hot iron in the furnace. Heat radiated per second per unit area, E = \(\sigma \)T4 . When the body is placed in the open at temperature T0 , the heat radiated/Second/unit area,
E' = \(\sigma \)(T4-T04)
Clearly, E' < E. So, the optical pyrometer gives too low a value for the temperature in the open.
29.
(i) We employ with the sun’s mass replaced by the martian mass Mm
\({ T^{ 2 }=\frac { { 4\pi }^{ 2 } }{ GM_m } { R }^{ 3 } }\)
\({ M }_{ m }=\frac { { 4\pi }^{ 2 } }{ g } .\frac { { R }^{ 3 } }{ T^{ 2 } }\)
\(=\frac { 4\times (3.14)^{ 2 }\times (9.4)^{ 3 }\times 10^{ 18 } }{ 6.67\times { 10 }^{ -11 }\times (459\times 60)^2 }\)
\(=\frac { 4\times (3.14)^{ 2 }\times (9.4)^{ 3 }\times 10^{ 18 } }{ 6.67\times (459\times 60)^2\times 10^{-5} }\)
\(=6.48\times { 10 }^{ 23 }kg\)
(ii) Once again Kepler’s third law comes to our aid,
\(\frac { { T }_{ m }^{ 2 } }{ { T }^{ 2 } } =\frac { { R }_{ MS }^{ 3 } }{ { R }_{ ES }^{ 3 } } \)
Where RMS is the mass-sun distance and RES is the earth-sun distance
\(\therefore \ \ \ { T }_{ m }=(1.52)^{ 3/2 }\times 365=648\ days\)
We note that the orbits of all planets except Mercury and Mars are very close to being circular. For example, the ratio of the semiminor to semi-major axis for our Earth is, b/a = 0.99986.
30.
Given, speed of man (vm) = 4 km/h
Speed of river (vr) = 3 km
Width of the river (d) = 1 km
Time taken by the man to cross the river
t = \(\frac { Width\ of\ the\ river }{ Speed\ of\ the\ man } =\frac { 1\ km }{ 4\ km/h } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)h =\(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \times 60\) = 15 min
Distance travelled along the river = vr\(\times \) t
= \(3\times \frac { 1 }{ 4 } =\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \quad \)km = \(\frac { 3000 }{ 4 } \)
= 750 m
