Question:
The position of a particle is given by

Where t is in seconds and the coefficients have the proper units for r to be in meters.

(a) Find the v and a of the particle?

(b) What is the magnitude and direction of velocity of the particle at t = 2.0 s?

Answer:

(b) 8.54 m/s, 69.45° below the x-axis

Direction, ø = tan^-1 (v_y / v_x )

= tan^-1 (-8 / 3 )

= - tan^-1 (2.667)

= -69.45°

The negative sign indicates that the direction of velocity is below the x-axis.

A bolt of mass 0.3 kg falls from the ceiling of an elevator moving down with an uniform speed of 7 m s^-1. It hits the floor of the elevator (length of the elevator = 3 m) and does not rebound. What is the heat produced by the impact? Would your answer be different if the elevator were stationary?

One end of a string of length l is connected to a particle of mass m and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed v the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) is:

(i) T, (ii) T - mv² / l , (iii) T + mv² / l , (iv) 0

T is the tension in the string. [Choose the correct alternative].

India has had a long and unbroken tradition of great scholarship — in mathematics, astronomy, linguistics, logic and ethics. Yet, in parallel with this, several superstitious and obscurantistic attitudes and practices flourished in our society and unfortunately continue even today — among many educated people too. How will you use your knowledge of science to develop strategies to counter these attitudes ?
