PART 1 : PHYSICS

1)

Explain the question:

A particle is projected vertically upward and returns to the starting point; identify correct
statements for the whole motion.
Concept:
Average velocity, average speed
Solution:
Initial velocity = u
Acceleration = −g
Time to reach highest point = u / g
Total time of journey = 2u / g
Displacement over the entire journey = 0
Average velocity = displacement / total time = 0
Distance covered upward = u² / (2g)
Distance covered downward = u² / (2g)
Total distance = u² / g
Average speed = total distance / total time
Average speed = (u² / g) / (2u / g) = u / 2
Thus:
Average velocity is zero ✔
Displacement is zero ✔
Average speed is u / 2 ✔
Average speed is u ✘

Question Explanation :
A body thrown vertically upward covers a certain distance in its last second before stopping;
find it for a higher speed.

Concept: Uniform acceleration, kinematics under gravity

Solution:
For vertical motion under gravity, speed becomes zero at the highest point.

Distance covered in the last second before stopping:

slast = distance covered between times (T − 1) and T

Using equation:
s = ut − (1/2) g t²
Let total time of ascent = T = u / g

Distance in last second:

slast = [uT − (1/2) g T²] − [u(T − 1) − (1/2) g (T − 1)²]

Simplifying:
slast = u − g(T − 1/2)

Substitute T = u / g:
slast = u − g(u/g − 1/2)
slast = g/2

Thus, distance covered in the last second is independent of initial speed.

Given in first case:

slast = 5 m ⇒ g/2 = 5 ⇒ g = 10 m/s²

For u = 500 m/s:

slast = g/2 = 5 m

15) Question Explanation: Find 3v, where v is the average speed of a decelerating particle
over 3 seconds, given its initial velocity and constant acceleration.
Concept : Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time.
Solution :
Given: u = 2 m/s, a = -1 m/s², time = 3 s.
1. Time to Stop (v_f = 0):

A. v_f = u + at
B. 0 = 2 - 1(t) ⟹ t = 2 s

2. Total Distance Calculation: The particle turns at t = 2 s, so we calculate the distance in two
parts.

A. Distance in first 2 s (s₁): s₁ = ut + ½at² = 2(2) + ½(-1)(2)² = 2 m.

B. Position at 3 s (s_pos): s_pos = 2(3) + ½(-1)(3)² = 1.5 m.
C. Distance from 2s to 3s (s₂): s₂ = |Position at 2s - Position at 3s| = |2 - 1.5| = 0.5 m.
D. Total Distance = s₁ + s₂ = 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 m.

3. Final Value:

A. Average Speed (v) = Total Distance / Time = 2.5 / 3 m/s.

B. Final Value = 3v = 3 * (2.5 / 3) = 2.5.

Final Answer : The value of 3v is 2.5.

16) Question Explanation: A car traveling at a high speed applies its brakes, causing a
constant deceleration. We need to find the car's total displacement in meters during the first
10 seconds of braking.
Concept : This problem is solved using the equations of motion for an object under constant
acceleration.
Solution :
Given:

A. Initial Velocity (u) = 90 km/hr

B. Retardation (a) = -2.5 m/s²
C. Time (t) = 10 s

1. Convert Initial Velocity to m/s:

A. u = 90 km/hr * (5/18)
B. u = 25 m/s

2. Check the Time to Stop: First, we must check if the car stops before the 10-second mark. Let's
find the time (t_stop) it takes for the final velocity (v_f) to become 0.

A. v_f = u + at
B. 0 = 25 + (-2.5) * t_stop
 C. 2.5 * t_stop = 25
D. t_stop = 10 s The car comes to a complete stop exactly at the 10-second mark.

3. Calculate Displacement (s): Since the car moves in one direction and stops at t = 10 s, we can
directly calculate the displacement.

A. s = ut + ½at²
B. s = (25)(10) + ½(-2.5)(10)²
C. s = 250 + ½(-2.5)(100)
D. s = 250 - 125
E. s = 125 m

Final Answer :
The magnitude of the displacement of the car in 10 seconds is 125 m.

Explain Question: If the value of Azimuthal Quantum Number ℓ for an electron in a

 particular subshell is 3, then what will be the minimum value of shell number associated with
this electron.
Concept: Angular quantum number
Solution:
The principal quantum number n (shell number) determines the size and energy of the orbital,
while the azimuthal quantum number ℓ (subshell) determines the shape. For a given shell n,
the allowed values of ℓ are integers ranging from 0 to n-1. This relationship is defined by the
following inequality:
ℓ≤n-1
To find the minimum value of n for a specific subshell, we can rearrange the inequality to solve
for n :
n ≥ℓ+1
Given that the azimuthal quantum number ℓ = 3 (which corresponds to an f subshell), we
substitute the value into the expression:
nmin = 3 + 1
nmin = 4
Final answer: 4.00

Solution:
Let ƒ(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d

∴ ƒ(x) = (x – 1)(x + 2)(px + q)
Now ƒ(–1) = (–1 – 1) (–1 + 2)(–p + q)
4 = –2(–p + q) ⇒ p – q = 2 ...(1)
