Some drugs when taken for a long time cause addiction.
a. What is withdrawal symptom?
b. How can you prevent the addiction?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. The drug or alcohol addicted persons find it difficult to discontinue the use of the drug since it produces adverse physiological effects. This causes restlessness and anxiety, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, anorexia, twitches etc. This is known as withdrawal symptom.
b. Drug or alcoholic addiction can be prevented by treating them in de addiction centres and giving the proper guidance.

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?

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?

Take a small stone. Hold it in your hand. We know that the force gravity due to the earth acts on each and every object. When we were holding the stone in our hand, the stone was experiencing this force, but it was balanced by a force that we were applying on it in the opposite direction. As a result, the stone remained at rest. Once we release the stone from our hands the only force that acts on it is the gravitational force of the earth and the stone falls down under its influence. Whenever an object moves under the influence of the force of gravity alone, it is said to be falling freely. Thus the released stone is in a free fall. In free fall, the initial velocity of the object is zero and goes on increasing due to acceleration due to gravity of the earth. During free fall, the frictional force due to air opposes the motion of the object and buoyant force also acts on the object. Thus, true free fall is possible only in vacuum. For a freely falling object, the velocity on reaching the earth and the time taken for it can be calculated by using Newton's equations of motion. For free fall the initial velocity u=0 and the acceleration a=g . Thus, we can write the equations as v="gt",s=1/2"gt"^(2),v^(2)=2gs For calculating the motion of an object thrown upwards, acceleration is negative, i.e. in a direction opposite to the velocity and is taken to be -g. The magnitude of g is the same but the velocity of the object decreases due to -ve acceleration. The moon and the artificial satellites are moving only under the influence of the gravitational field of the earth. Thus they are in free fall. What is the initial velocity and what is the effect of gravitational acceleration on the object in free fall?
