A truck and a car moving with the same ...

A truck and a car moving with the same K.E. on a stright road. Their engines are simultaneously switched off which one will stop at a lesser distance ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By `"work"="Energy"` Theorem.
`"Loss in K.E.=W.D. against the force" xx "distance of fricition"`
or `K.E.=mumgS`
`"For constant K.E., S"infty1/m`
therefore Truck will stop in a lesser distance because of greater mass.

A car is moving at a constant speed of 40 km/h along a straight road which heads towards a large vertical wall and makes a sharp 90^0 turn by the side of the wall. A fly flyingat constant speed of 100 km/h, starts from the wall towrds the car t an instant when the car is 20 km away,flies until it reaches the glasspane of the car and returns to teh wll at teh same speed. It continues to fly between the car and teh wall time the car makes the 90^0 turn. a. What is the total distance the fly has travelled during the period?b. How many trips has it made between the car and the wall?

You may have heard the story of the race between the rabbit and tortoise. They started from same point simultaneously with constant speeds. During the journey, rabbit took rest somewhere along the way for a while. But the tortoise moved steadily with lesser speed and reached the finishing point before rabbit. Rabbit wokeup and ran, but rabbit realized that the tortoise had won the race. Draw distance vs time graph for this story. (AS_(5))

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the following: Tie a stone to one end of a string. Take the other end in your hand and rotate the string so that the stone moves along a circle. As long as we are holding the string, we are pulling the stone towards us i.e. towards the centre of the circle and are appliying a force towards it. The force stops acting on it if we release the string. In this case, the stone will fly off along a straight line which is the tangent to the circle at the position of the stone when the string is released, because that the directionn of its velocity at that instant of time. You may recall a similar activity in which a 5 rupee coin kept on a rotating circular disc flies off the disc along the tangent to the disc. Thus, a force acts on any object moving along a circle and it is directed towards the centre of the circle. This is called the Centripetal force. What happens if the string is released?
