CASE STUDY

Q29. MOTION OF A BODY UNDER FREE FALL

A body released near the surface of the earth is accelerated downward under the influence
of force of gravity. In the absence of air resistance, all bodies fall with the same acceleration
near the surface of the earth. This motion of a body falling towards the earth from a small
height (h << Re ) is called free fall. The body falls with a constant acceleration g, equal to
9.8 𝑚/𝑠 2 . Free fall is thus an example of motion with constant acceleration. For a freely
falling body, the following equations of motion hold good :

1
(1)𝑣 = 𝑢 + 𝑎𝑡 (2) 𝑠 = 𝑢𝑡 + 𝑎 𝑡 2 (3) 𝑣 2 − 𝑢2 = 2𝑎𝑠
2

(i)When a ball is thrown vertically upwards, at the Maximum height

(a)the velocity is zero and therefore there is no acceleration acting on the particle
(b)the acceleration is present and therefore velocity is not zero
(c)the acceleration depends on the velocity as 𝑎 = 𝑑𝑣/𝑑𝑡
(d)the acceleration is independent of the velocity

Ans: (d)

(ii)Velocity of a body on reaching the point, from which it was projected upwards, is
(a)v =2u
(b)v =0.5u
(c) v = 0
(d) V = u
Ans: (d)
(iii)Three different objects of masses 𝑚1 , 𝑚2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚3are allowed to fall from the same point O
along three different frictionless paths. The speeds of the three objects, on reaching the ground,
will be in the ratio of

(a)𝑚1 : 𝑚2 : 𝑚3
(b) 𝑚1 : 2𝑚2 : 3𝑚3
1 1 1
(c) 𝑚 : 𝑚 : 𝑚
1 2 3
(d)1:1:1

Ans: (d)
(iv) A body falling from rest describes distances 𝑠1 , 𝑠2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠3
 in the first, second and third seconds of its fall, then the ratio 𝑠1 : 𝑠2 : 𝑠3 is
(a) 1 :1 :1 (b) 1 : 3 : 5 (c) 1 : 2: 3 (d) 1 : 4 : 9
Ans : (d)

Q30. ELASTICITY OF SOLIDS

A force which changes the size or shape of a body is called deforming force. If a body regains its
original size and shape after the removal of deforming force, it is called elastic body and this
property is called elasticity. Stress is the restoring force per unit area and strain is the fractional
change in dimension. Stress may be tensile, shearing or hydraulic. For small deformations, stress
is proportional to strain. This is known as Hooke's law. The constant of proportionality is called
modulus of elasticity. Three elastic moduli — Young's modulus, shear modulus and bulk
modulus are used to describe the elastic behaviour of objects as they respond to deforming
forces which act on them. The materials which can be elastically stretched to large values
Without obeying Hooke's law are called .

(i) A uniform rod weighing w, cross-sectional area a and length I is hanging from the ceiling of a room.
The Young's modulus of material is Y. The elongation of the rod is
