9\(ms^{-1}\)
9.49\(ms^{-1}\)
13.42\(ms^{-1}\)
18.97\(ms^{-1}\)
Correct answer is D
Due to conservation of energy, K.E = P.E
\(\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = mgh\)
\(\implies m \times 10 \times 18 = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\)
\(v^{2} = 2 \times 10 \times 18 = 360\)
\(v = \sqrt{360} = 18.97ms^{-1}\)
760N
800N
805N
840N
Correct answer is D
\(\text{Net force = Upward force - weight}\)
\(ma = F - mg \implies F = ma + mg \)
\(F = (80 \times 10) + (80 \times 0.5) = 800 + 40 = 840N\)
\((3 + 3\sqrt{3})N\)
\((-3 + 5\sqrt{3})N\)
\((5 + 3\sqrt{3})N\)
\((5 + 5\sqrt{3})N\)
Correct answer is B
\(F = F\cos \theta + F\sin \theta\) (Resolving into its components)
\(10N = 10 \cos 60, 10 \sin 60\)
\(6N = 6 \cos 330, 6 \sin 330\)
\(R = F_{1} + F_{2} = (10 \cos 60, 10 \sin 60) + (6 \cos 330, 6 \sin 330)\)
The y- component : \(10 \sin 60 + 6 \sin 330 = 10 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + 6 \times \frac{-1}{2}\)
= \((5\sqrt{3} - 3)N\)
3.2
5.3
7.0
8.0
Correct answer is A
Momentum of bodies with common velocity = \(m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v\)
\((10 \times 5) + (15 \times 2) = (10 + 15)v\)
\(50 + 30 = 25v \implies v = \frac{80}{25} = 3.2ms^{-1}\)
Find the unit vector in the direction of \(-2i + 5j\).
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{29}}(2i + 5j)\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{29}}(-2i + 5j)\)
\(\frac{1}{29}(2i - 5j)\)
\(\frac{1}{29}(-2i - 5j)\)
Correct answer is B
The unit vector, \(\hat{n}\) is given by \(\hat{n} = \frac{\overrightarrow{r}}{|\overrightarrow{r}|}\)
= \(\frac{(-2i + 5j)}{\sqrt{(-2)^{2} + 5^{2}}} = \frac{(-2i + 5j)}{\sqrt{29}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{29}}(-2i + 5j)\)
