A body is moving unidirectionally under the influence of a constant power source. Its displacement in time t is proportional to :

A.t2/3

B.t3/2

C.t

D.t2

Correct option is (B)

When a body moves under the influence of a constant power, the relationship between displacement and time can be established through the concept of power. Power (P) is defined as the rate at which work is done, and it can also be expressed in terms of force (F) and velocity (v) as P = F v .

For a constant power P and assuming the force acts in the direction of the velocity, we can analyze how displacement (s) changes with time (t). Since force can also be written as F = d ( m v ) d t for a constant mass m, this simplifies to F = m d v d t , because mass doesn't change with time for most cases. Integrating force over a distance gives work (W), and power is the rate of doing work, thus we can connect these concepts.

The kinetic energy (K.E) of the body is given by K . E = 1 2 m v 2 , and the work done by the force is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Considering power is constant, P = d W d t = d ( 1 2 m v 2 ) d t . Rearranging terms to focus on velocity and integrating with respect to time will give us a relation involving velocity and time.

For a constant mass system, and using P = F v = m a v = m d v d t v , and knowing that P = constant , we rearrange to find the relationship between velocity and time.

Given P = m v d v d t , we rearrange to P m d t = v d v . Integrating both sides where the initial condition is when t = 0 , v = 0 , we get P m t = 1 2 v 2 , solving for v gives v t 1 / 2 , so v = k t 1 / 2 for some constant k .

The displacement s is obtained by integrating the velocity with respect to time, s = v d t = k t 1 / 2 d t = 2 3 k t 3 / 2 . Therefore, the displacement s is proportional to t 3 / 2 .

The correct answer is Option B, t 3 / 2 .

A body of mass 2   kg begins to move under the action of a time dependent force given by F = ( 6 t i ^ + 6 t 2 j ^ ) N . The power developed by the force at the time t is given by:

A. ( 3 t 3 + 6 t 5 ) W

B. ( 9 t 5 + 6 t 3 ) W

C. ( 6 t 4 + 9 t 5 ) W

D. ( 9 t 3 + 6 t 5 ) W

Correct option is (D)

F = ( 6 t i ^ + 6 t 2 j ^ ) N F = m a = ( 6 t i ^ + 6 t 2 j ^ ) a = F m = ( 3 t i ^ + 3 t 2 j ^ ) v = 0 t a d t = 3 t 2 2 i ^ + t 3 j ^ P = F v = ( 9 t 3 + 6 t 5 ) W

The ratio of powers of two motors is 3 x x + 1 , that are capable of raising 300   kg water in 5 minutes and 50   kg water in 2 minutes respectively from a well of 100   m deep. The value of x will be

A. 16

B. 4

C. 2

D. 2.4

Correct Option is (A)

Let us first find the power required to lift the water using each motor. Let P 1 be the power of the first motor, and P 2 be the power of the second motor.

The work done in lifting the water is given by W = m g h , where m is the mass of water lifted, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height through which the water is lifted. In this case, m = 300   kg and h = 100   m for the first motor, and m = 50   kg and h = 100   m for the second motor.

The work done in lifting the water in 5 minutes by the first motor is:

W 1 = m g h = ( 300   kg ) ( 9.8   m / s 2 ) ( 100   m ) = 294000   J

The power required to do this work in 5 minutes is:

P 1 = W 1 t 1 = 294000   J 300   s = 980   W

The work done in lifting the water in 2 minutes by the second motor is:

W 2 = m g h = ( 50   kg ) ( 9.8   m / s 2 ) ( 100   m ) = 49000   J

The power required to do this work in 2 minutes is:

P 2 = W 2 t 2 = 49000   J 120   s = 408.33   W

The ratio of the powers of the two motors is:

P 1 P 2 = 980   W 408.33   W 2.4

We are given that this ratio is equal to:

3 x x + 1

We can solve for x as follows:

3 x x + 1 = 2.4

3 x = 2.4 ( x + 1 )

3 x = 2.4 x + 2.4

( 3 2.4 ) x = 2.4

0.6 x = 2.4

x = 4

x = 16

Therefore, the value of x is 16.

4.(JEE Main 2023 (Online) 10th April Evening Shift )

If the maximum load carried by an elevator is 1400   kg ( 600   kg - Passengers + 800 kg - elevator), which is moving up with a uniform speed of 3   m   s 1 and the frictional force acting on it is 2000   N , then the maximum power used by the motor is __________ kW ( g = 10   m / s 2 )

Correct answer is (48)

First, let's find the total weight of the elevator and passengers:

Total weight = (mass of passengers + mass of elevator) × g

Total weight = (600 kg + 800 kg) × 10 m/s²

Total weight = 1400 kg × 10 m/s² = 14,000 N

Now, we need to calculate the total force acting on the elevator as it moves upwards. Since the elevator is moving at a constant speed, the net force acting on it is zero. Therefore, the tension in the cable must balance the total weight and frictional force:

Tension = Total weight + Frictional force Tension = 14,000 N + 2,000 N = 16,000 N

The power used by the motor can be calculated using the formula:

Power = Force × Velocity

Here, the force is the tension in the cable, and the velocity is the speed of the elevator:

Power = 16,000 N × 3 m/s = 48,000 W

To convert the power to kilowatts, divide by 1,000:

Power = 48,000 W / 1,000 = 48 kW

So, the maximum power used by the motor is 48 kW.
