V=500/ [Link]:- Work is said to be done whenever a force acts on a body and the body moves through some distance in the direction of the force. 4. Kinetic Energy Electrical Energy 5. Yes,provided the vector sum of all the external forces is zero. 6. Law of conservation of momentum

A body moving with a certain speed along a straight path will continue to move with same speed along the same straight path in the absence of any external forces.
7. Galileos Law of Inertia:[Link] is non conservative force as it is path dependent. Work done against friction is not zero.

[Link] a body of weight mg is placed on an inclined plane as shown in the [Link] be the angle of of inclination.A force P is applied on the body so that it just begins to slide up the inclined plane.

The weight mg has two components : i)mgcos perpendicular to the inclined [Link] balances the normal reaction [Link] R=mgcos ii)mgsin down the inclined plane. If fk is the kinetic friction,then the force needed to be applied upwards just to move the body up the inclined plane must be P=mgsin+ fk But, fk=

Equation of trajectory of an oblique projectile:Here horizontal distance covered by the projectile in time t,

x=ucost
t=x/ucos For vertical motion:u=usin,a= -g,so the vertical distance covered in time t is given by s=ut+(1/2)at2 y=usin(x/ucos)-(1/2)g(x2/2u2cos2) y=xtan-g/(2u2cos2) y=px-qx2 where p and q are constants [using ]

Thus y is a quadratic function of x. Hence the trajectory of an oblique projectile is a parabola.

W is the weight of the body,R is the normal reaction, flimiting is the limiting friction,P is the applied force and LC is the resultant of flimiting and [Link] angle between the normal reaction and the resultant LC is angle of friction. tan=AL/CA=CB/OA= flimiting/R but fLimiting/R= s=coefficient of static friction

tan= s Thus the coefficient of static friction is equal to the tangent of the angle of friction .

Here W is the weight of the body and is the angle of repose. Various forces acting on the body are: i)Weight mg of the body acting vertically downwards. ii)The limiting friction fLimiting in upward direction along the inclined [Link] balances the component Wsin of the weight W along the inclined [Link] fLimiting = Wsin

iii)The normal reaction R perpendicular to the inclined [Link] balances the component Wcos of the weight W perpendicular to the inclined plane. R= Wcos Dividing by,we get fLimiting /R= Wsin/ Wcos or , s=tan

Thus the coefficient of static friction is equal to the angle of repose. As s=tan=tan = Thus the angle of repose is equal to the angle of friction. [Link]-CART PROBLEM T CART f F W -T V R H

As shown in the figure,consider a cart connected to a horse by a [Link] horse while pulling the cart produces a tension T in the string in the forward direction(action).The cart, in turn,pulls the horse by an equal force T in the opposite direction. Initially the horse presses the ground with a force F in an inclined [Link] reaction R of the ground acts on the horse in the opposite [Link] reaction R has two components: i)The vertical component V which balances the weight W of the cart. ii)The horizontal component which helps the horse to move forward. Let f be the force of friction. The horse moves forward if H>[Link] that case,net force acting on the horse=H-T

If the acceleration of the horse is a and m is its mass,then H-T=ma

The cart moves forward if T>f .In that case,net force acting on the cart=T- f The weight of the cart is balanced by the reaction of the ground acting on it. Obviously,the acceleration acting on the cart is also [Link] M is the mass of the cart,then T- f =Ma Adding and,we get H- f =(M+m)a a=(H- f )/(M+m) Obviously a is positive I H- f is positive,or if H> f. Thus the system moves if H> f. 15. a)pulling R F b)pushing F R

Fsin Fcos
Fcos fk W Fsin W F

As shown in the figure (a) suppose a force F is applied to pull a body of weight [Link] Force F has two components: i)Horizontal component Fcos helps to move the body forward. ii)Vertical component Fsin acts in the upward direction. If R is the normal reaction,then R+Fsin=W R=W-Fsin Force of kinetic friction, fk=
k

R= k(W-Fsin)

As shown in the figure (b) if a force F is applied to push a body of weight W,then the normal reaction is R=W+Fsin Force of kimetic friction, fk=
k

R= k(W+Fsin)

comparingand,we find that fk> fk i.e.,the force of friction is more in case of push than in case of [Link] it is easier to pull a body than to push it. 16.a)Work-Energy Theorem:It states that the work done by the net force acting on a body is equal to the change produced in the kinetic energy of the body.

Proof:Suppose a constant force F acting on a body of mass m produces acceleration a in it. After covering distance s,suppose the velocity of the body changes from u to [Link] use the motion equation, v2-u2=2as multiplying both sides by (1/2)m,we get (1/2)m v2-(1/2)m u2=mas By Newtons second law,ma=F,the applied [Link], (1/2)m v2-(1/2)m u2=Fs Kf Ki=W Chang in K.E. of the body=Work done on the body by net force. b)Kinetic Energy, K= (1/2)m v2=(mv)2/2m=p2/2m P= i.e.p

Thus the heavier body has greater linear momentum than lighter one. 17.u=10ms-2 ,h=20m i)Tf= =2s =10 ms-1
