JEE main - Physics

1.
(b) the last bogey stops first
Explanation: The forward tension on the tail bogey is least and hence the tail bogey is brought to rest first.

⃗ − p⃗ =
∴ AB = OB − OA = p 2 1
= change in momentum
Further, it is also obvious from the figure that the change in momentum of the player is along south-west.
As motion is due to the frictional force of reaction of the ground, the force that acts on the player is a frictional force along
south-west.

8. (a) g+a

Explanation:

Let F be the upthrust of the air. As the balloon is descending down with an acceleration a,

Let mass m0 be removed from the balloon so that it starts moving up with an acceleration a . Then,
F - (m - m0)g = (m - m0)a
F - mg + m0g = ma - m0a ...(ii)
Adding eqn. (i) and (ii), we get

The acceleration of the body is

ms-2
⃗ (−3 i +4 j )N
F 3 4
^ ^
a⃗ = = = − i + j
m 5 kg 5 5

Velocity of the body along x-axis at any time t is

vx = ux + axt = 6 - t 3

As the body will have a velocity along the y-axis, therefore its velocity along the x-axis will be zero.
i.e., vx = 0 or 6 = t 3

30
⇒ t= 3
= 10 s
22. (a) both A and B strike the ground with same velocity
Explanation: v2 = u2 + 2gh

Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get,

g mg
(M + m) + mg = (M + m)g -
5 5

∴ (M + m)g + 5 mg = 5 (M + m)g - mg
∴ Mg + 6 mg = 5 Mg + 4 mg
∴ 4 Mg = 2 mg ⇒ M =

Reaction of the 6th coin on the 7th coin
= Force on the 6th coin due to 7th coin = 4 mg
29. (a) 532.6 m/s
Explanation: By conservation of linear momentum,
initial momentum = final momentum of of bullet system
∴ mvb = (M + m) vsys

here, m = mass of bullet = 0.025 kg

M = mass of block = 10 kg
–
vsys = velocity of system = √2gh
h = 0.09 m
−−−−−−−−−− −
∴ 0.025 vb = 10.025 × √2 × 9.8 × 0.09

m1 − m2
(d) ( m1 + m2
) g

Explanation: Acceleration acm of the centre of mass of the system of m1 and m2 is given by:
m1 a1 + m2 a2
acm =
m1 + m2

As m1 moves downwards with acceleration a and m2 moves upwards with acceleration - a, hence numerically
a1 = + a,a2 = -a
m1 (a)+ m2 (−a) m1 − m2
acm = = ( )a
m1 + m2 m1 + m2

m1 − m2
But a = ( m1 + m2

m1 − m2 m1 − m2 m1 − m2
∴ acm = ( )( )g = ( ) g
m1 + m2 m1 + m2 m1 + m2

Equations of motion are:

m1g -T = m1a
and T - m2g = m2a,
where T is the tension in the string
(m1 - m2)g = (m1 + m2)a
( m1 − m2 )
or a = g
( m1 + m2 )

Putting the value of a in one of above equations,

2m1 m2
T = g
( m1 + m2 )

4m1 m2 g
∴ Thrust on the pulley = 2T = ( m1 + m2 )

44.
(d) 120°
Explanation: Let the tension in the string AP2 and P2P1 be T. Considering the force on pulley P1, we get;
T = W ...(i)
Further, let A∠AP 2 P1 = 2θ

Resolving tensions in horizontal and vertical directions and considering the forces on pulley P2, we get;
2T cosθ = W ...(ii)
∴ 2W cosθ = W

or cos θ = 1
or θ = 60

Explanation:

Σ FH = 0

C cos 45o = T cos 30o

C = 1.2247 T
Σ FV = 0

T sin 30o + C cos 45o = 600

T sin 30o + (1.2247 T) cos 45o = 600
1.366 T = 600
T = 439.24 lb

For B: T1 + 2g - T = 2a ...(ii)
For C: 2g - T1 = 2a ...(iii)

Adding eqns. (i) and (ii), we get;

T1 = 4a ...(iv)
From eqns. (iii) and (iv),

(d) greater than the weight of the bird
Explanation: If W be the weight of the bird, then
2T cosθ = W or T = cosθW

As θ will be nearly ninety, hence T > W

55.
(c) for any value of M
Explanation:
Net pulling force on the system is Mg + mg - mg or simply Mg.
The total mass being pulled is M + 2m. Hence, acceleration of the system is,
Mg
a=
M+2m

Now, since a < g, there should be an upward force on M so that its acceleration becomes less than g.
Hence, for any value of M spring will be elongated.

56.

, i.e., less than breaking load.
61. (a) 0.5 N
Explanation:

Taking, x-components, the total should be zero.

1 × cos 60° + 2 cos 60° + x - 4 cos 60° = 0
∴ x = 0.5 N

62.
(b) least in case (II)

11 / 14
 Explanation:

Let (T) be the tension on the wires and (M) be the mass of the block, then
For this case, 2T = Mg
Mg
T= 2

For this case, the sine components are cancelled.

2Tcosθ = Mg
Mg
T= 2cosθ

The cosine of any angle will vary from 0 to 1 with 1 reaching at 0˚ which would then become the previous case. In this since
the cosine will be less than one Tension in this case will be more than the previous case when the strings are vertical.
Thus, tension is least in this case.

When the truck moves towards the right with acceleration ‘a’, then due to pseudo force, the pendulum will tilt in the backward
direction (to the left) making an angle θ with the vertical

mass. Hence, a equations of motion are:

1 × 2a = T - 1g ...(i)
4a = 4g - 2T ...(ii)
Adding, after multiplying the equation (i) by 2,

7
and z−L
=
7

Solving, we get; z = 2y - x

(b) 0 mg
Explanation: All blocks are moving with constant velocity so acceleration is zero. Thus, the net force on each block is zero.

98
(b) cos θ

Explanation: T cos θ = T1 = 10 × g ....(i)

T sin θ = 98 ....(ii)

13 / 14
 from eq. (i)
T cos θ = 9.8 × 10 = 98 or T = ( 98

cos θ
)
