Ball Projection and Motion Analysis

This document contains 10 multiple choice questions about Newtonian mechanics and kinematics. The questions cover topics such as: 1) particle motion under different acceleration conditions, 2) calculating average velocity, 3) motion under resistive forces, 4) work done by conservative force fields, 5) particle motion under influence of potential fields, 6) projectile motion with and without air resistance, and 7) terminal velocity of objects in fluids. The document provides the questions and possible multiple choice answers for each problem related to Newton's laws of motion.

Assignment 4: Newton's Mechanics


Simple Kinematics Problems and Motion under Resistive Medium

1. A particle moves in a straight line such that its velocity (v) is given by
v 2 = µ( xa − 1),
where x is the distance from a fixed point. The acceleration is
(i) ∝ x1 and away from the fixed point,
(ii) ∝ − x1 and towards the fixed point,
(iii) ∝ x12 and away from the fixed point,
(iv) ∝ − x12 and towards the fixed point.

2. If x = 30t − 2t2 , where x is the distance in cm. and t is the time in seconds, then the
average velocity from t = 5sec to t = 5.01sec will be
(i) 8.00 cm/s
(ii) 9.00 cm/s
(iii) 9.98 cm/s
(iv) 0 cm/s.

3. A particle is moving in a straight line subject to a resistance which produces a decel-


eration of kv 3 , where v is the velocity and k is a constant. The velocity v is (in terms
of distance x)
mu
(i) m+kxu
mk
(ii) m+kxu
mx
(iii) m+kxu

(iv) 1+kxu .

4. A particle is moving once around a circle C in the xy-plane. If the circle has centre at
origin and radius 3 and if force field is given by
#»
F = (2x − y + z)î + (x + y − z 2 )ĵ + (3x − 2y + 4z)k̂,

The work done by the particle will be


(i) 0
(ii) π

(iv) π2

5. If F = (2xy + z 3 )î + x2 ĵ + 3xz 2 k̂ is a conservative force field.

(ii) −x2 y + const.
(iii) −xz 3 + const.
(iv) −2x2 y − 2xz 3 + const.

6. A particle of mass 2 moves in the xy-plane under the influence of a force field having
potential V = x2 + y 2 . The particle starts at a time t = 0 from rest at the point (2,1).
The values of x(t) and y(t) will be
(i) cost and 2cost
(ii) 2cost and sint
(iii) cost and 2sint
(iv) 2cost and cost.

7. A particle is attracted towards a fixed point with a force F (x) ∝ x13 , where x is the
distance from the fixed point. Find an expression for the work done for a displacement
of a to b (a < b). The P.E. gained by the particle is
(i) − 12 µ[ a12 − b12 ]
(ii) − 12 µ[ b12 − a12 ]
(iii) − 12 µ[ a12 + b12 ]
(iv) 12 µ[ a12 + b12 ]

8. A particle is thrown upward with speed V. If the air resistance be assumed to vary as
the square of the speed and to equal gravitational pool at a speed U (i.e. at the point
where the net force on the particle is zero), the particle will rise for a time
(i) tf = ( Ug )tan−1 ( VU )
(ii) tf = ( Vg )tan−1 ( VU )
(iii) tf = ( Ug )tan−1 ( VU )
(iv)tf = ( Ug )tan−1 ( VU )

(η = 0.83 P a.s, σ = 1.2 × 103 kg/m3 ). Its terminal velocity will be
(i) 0.01 m/s
(ii) 0.05 m/s
(iii) 0.07 m/s
(iv) 1.00 m/s

minal speed, the resistance being proportional to the square of the speed. The particle
hits the ground with speed
