A car accelerates from rest to u   m / s . The energy spent in this process is E J. The energy required to accelerate the car from u   m / s to 2 u m / s is nE   J . The value of n is ____________.

Correct answer is (3)

The kinetic energy of a moving object of mass m and velocity v is given by the formula:

K = 1 2 m v 2

The work done in accelerating an object from rest to velocity v is equal to its change in kinetic energy. Therefore, the energy spent in accelerating the car from rest to u   m / s is:

E = 1 2 m u 2

The energy required to accelerate the car from u   m / s to 2 u   m / s is:

n E = 1 2 m ( 2 u ) 2 1 2 m u 2 = 2 m u 2 1 2 m u 2 = 3 2 m u 2 = 3 E

n = 3

To maintain a speed of 80 km/h by a bus of mass 500 kg on a plane rough road for 4 km distance, the work done by the engine of the bus will be ____________ KJ. [The coefficient of friction between tyre of bus and road is 0.04.]

Correct answer is (784)

To maintain a constant speed, the bus has to overcome the frictional force acting on it. The frictional force is given by:

F f r i c t i o n = μ F N

Where μ is the coefficient of friction and F N is the normal force acting on the bus. Since the bus is on a flat road, the normal force is equal to the gravitational force:

F N = m g

Where m is the mass of the bus and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8   m / s 2 ).

Substituting the values, we get:

F f r i c t i o n = 0.04 × 500 × 9.8

F f r i c t i o n = 196   N

To maintain a constant speed, the engine must exert a force equal in magnitude to the frictional force. The work done by the engine to overcome the frictional force is given by:

W = F f r i c t i o n × d

Where d is the distance traveled. First, convert the distance from km to m:

d = 4   km × 1000   m 1   km = 4000   m

Now, calculate the work done:

W = 196   N × 4000   m W = 784000   J

Convert the work done from joules to kilojoules:

W = 784000   J 1000   J / kJ = 784   kJ

The work done by the engine of the bus to maintain a speed of 80 km/h for a 4 km distance is 784.8   kJ .

A body of mass 5   kg is moving with a momentum of 10   kg   ms 1 . Now a force of 2   N acts on the body in the direction of its motion for 5   s . The increase in the Kinetic energy of the body is ___________ J .

Correct answer is (30)

The increase in kinetic energy can be found using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.

The work done by a force is given by the equation:

W = F d

where ( F ) is the force and ( d ) is the distance over which the force is applied.

However, we don't have the distance in this problem. But we do know that the force is applied for a time of 5 seconds, and that the initial momentum of the body is 10 kg m/s. We can use these facts to find the work done.

First, we can use the equation for force, ( F = ma ), to find the acceleration of the body:

a = F m = 2 N 5 kg = 0.4 m/s 2

Then, we can use the equation for distance in uniformly accelerated motion, ( d = v i t + 1 2 a t 2 ), where ( v i ) is the initial velocity of the body. We can find ( v i ) from the initial momentum and the mass of the body:

v i = p m = 10 kg m/s 5 kg = 2 m/s

Substituting ( v i ), ( a ), and ( t ) into the equation for ( d ) gives:

d = 2 m/s 5 s + 1 2 0.4 m/s 2 ( 5 s ) 2 = 10 m + 5 m = 15 m

Finally, we can substitute ( F ) and ( d ) into the equation for work to find the increase in kinetic energy:

Δ K E = W = F d = 2 N 15 m = 30 J

So, the increase in the kinetic energy of the body is 30 J.

A body is dropped on ground from a height ' h 1 ' and after hitting the ground, it rebounds to a height ' h 2 '. If the ratio of velocities of the body just before and after hitting ground is 4 , then percentage loss in kinetic energy of the body is x 4 . The value of x is ____________.

Correct answer is (375)

The velocity of the body just before hitting the ground, due to gravitational acceleration, is given by v 1 = 2 g h 1 , and the velocity just after hitting the ground, when it rebounds to a height h 2 , is given by v 2 = 2 g h 2 .

According to the problem, the ratio v 1 v 2 = 4 . Therefore, we can write 2 g h 1 2 g h 2 = 4 or equivalently h 1 h 2 = 4 2 = 16 .

The loss in kinetic energy due to the collision with the ground is given by the difference between the initial kinetic energy K 1 = 1 2 m v 1 2 and the final kinetic energy K 2 = 1 2 m v 2 2 , where m is the mass of the body.

Substituting v 1 = 2 g h 1 and v 2 = 2 g h 2 into these expressions, we get K 1 = m g h 1 and K 2 = m g h 2 .

The loss in kinetic energy is then Δ K = K 1 K 2 = m g h 1 m g h 2 .

The percentage loss in kinetic energy is given by

Δ K K 1 × 100 = m g h 1 m g h 2 m g h 1 × 100 = h 1 h 2 h 1 × 100 .

Since h 1 / h 2 = 16 , we can write h 2 = h 1 / 16 , so the percentage loss in kinetic energy is

h 1 h 1 / 16 h 1 × 100 = 100 ( 1 1 16 ) = 100 × 15 16 = 375 4 .

So, the value of x is 375.
