A force $F = - K(yi + xj)$ (where K is a positive constant) acts on a particle moving in the xy-plane. Starting from the origin, the particle is taken along the positive x-axis to the point $(a, 0)$ and then parallel to the y-axis to the point $(a, a)$. The total work done by the force F on the particles is
$ - 2K{a^2}$
$2K{a^2}$
$ - K{a^2}$
$K{a^2}$
A disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ rolls on a horizontal surface and then rolls up an inclined plane as shown in the figure. If the velocity of the disc is $v$, the height to which the disc will rise will be
$A$ ball is dropped from $a$ height $h$. As it bounces off the floor, its speed is $80$ percent of what it was just before it hit the floor. The ball will then rise to $a$ height of most nearly .............. $\mathrm{h}$
A car is moving on a straight horizontal road with a speed $v.$ If the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is $\mu ,$ the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is
A ball of mass $M$ falls from a height $h$ on a floor. If co-efficient of restitution is $e$, the height attained by the ball after two rebounds is
Answer the following :
$(a)$ The casing of a rocket in flight burns up due to friction. At whose expense is the heat energy required for burning obtained? The rocket or the atmosphere?
$(b)$ Comets move around the sun in highly elliptical orbits. The gravitational force on the comet due to the sun is not normal to the comet’s velocity in general. Yet the work done by the gravitational force over every complete orbit of the comet is zero. Why ?
$(c)$ An artificial satellite orbiting the earth in very thin atmosphere loses its energy gradually due to dissipation against atmospheric resistance, however small. Why then does its speed increase progressively as it comes closer and closer to the earth ?
$(d)$ In Figure $(i)$ the man walks $2\; m$ carrying a mass of $15\; kg$ on his hands. In Figure $(ii)$, he walks the same distance pulling the rope behind him. The rope goes over a pulley, and a mass of $15\; kg$ hangs at its other end. In which case is the work done greater ?
