प्रश्न

A man, of mass m, standing at the bottom of the staircase, of height L climbs it and stands at its top.

  1. Work done by all forces on man is equal to the rise in potential energy mgL.
  2. Work done by all forces on man is zero.
  3. Work done by the gravitational force on man is mgL.
  4. The reaction force from a step does not do work because the point of application of the force does not move while the force exists.

उत्तर

b and d

Explanation:

When a man of mass m climbs up the staircase of height L, work done by the gravitational force on the man = – mgL

Work done by internal muscular forces = – Work done against gravitational force = mgL

Work done by all the forces = mgL – mgL = 0

As the point of application of the contact forces does not move, hence work done by reaction forces will also be zero.

And work done by friction will also be zero as there a no dissipation or rubbing involved.

The US athlete Florence Griffith-Joyner won the 100 m sprint gold medal at Seoul Olympics in 1988, setting a new Olympic record of 10⋅54 s. Assume that she achieved her maximum speed in a very short time and then ran the race with that speed till she crossed the line. Take her mass to be 50 kg. Assuming that the track, wind etc. offered an average resistance of one-tenth of her weight, calculate the work done by the resistance during the run.

A small block of mass 200 g is kept at the top of a frictionless incline which is 10 m long and 3⋅2 m high. How much work was required (a) to lift the block from the ground and put it an the top, (b) to slide the block up the incline? What will be the speed of the block when it reaches the ground if (c) it falls off the incline and drops vertically to the ground (d) it slides down the incline? Take g = 10 m/s2


Following figure following shows a smooth track, a part of which is a circle of radius R. A block of mass m is pushed against a spring of spring constant k fixed at the left end and is then released. Find the initial compression of the spring so that the block presses the track with a force mg when it reaches the point P, where the radius of the track is horizontal.


Figure ( following ) shows a smooth track which consists of a straight inclined part of length l joining smoothly with the circular part. A particle of mass m is projected up the incline from its bottom.Assuming that the projection-speed is only slightly greater than \[\nu_0\] , where will the block lose contact with the track?

Which of the following statements are correct in respect of bullet after it emerges out of the target?

  1. The velocity of the bullet will be reduced to half its initial value.
  2. The velocity of the bullet will be more than half of its earlier velocity.
  3. The bullet will continue to move along the same parabolic path.
  4. The bullet will move in a different parabolic path.
  5. The bullet will fall vertically downward after hitting the target.
  6. The internal energy of the particles of the target will increase.
