Science, like any knowledge, can be put to good or bad use, depending on the user. Given below are some of the applications of science. Formulate your views on whether the particular application is good, bad or something that cannot be so clearly categorised : (a) Mass vaccination against small pox to curb and finally eradicate this disease from the population. (This has already been successfully done in India). (b) Television for eradication of illiteracy and for mass communication of news and ideas. (c) Prenatal sex determination (d) Computers for increase in work efficiency (e) Putting artificial satellites into orbits around the Earth (f ) Development of nuclear weapons (g) Development of new and powerful techniques of chemical and biological warfare). (h) Purification of water for drinking (i) Plastic surgery (j ) Cloning

A block is placed on a horizontal table which can rotate about its axis.The block is placed at certain distance from centre as shown in figure. Table rotates such that particle does not slide. See possible direction of net acceleration of block at the instant shown in figure {:(,"Column-I","Column-II"),(,(A)"When rotation is clockwise with constant "omega,(P)1),(,(B)"When rotation is clock wise with decreasing "omega,(Q)2),(,(C)"When rotation is clockwise with increasing "omega,(R)3),(,(D)"Just after clockwise rotation beings from rest",(S)4):}

A physical quantity is a phyical property of a phenomenon , body, or substance , that can be quantified by measurement. The magnitude of the components of a vector are to be considered dimensionally distinct. For example , rather than an undifferentiated length unit L, we may represent length in the x direction as L_(x) , and so forth. This requirement status ultimately from the requirement that each component of a physically meaningful equation (scaler or vector) must be dimensionally consistent . As as example , suppose we wish to calculate the drift S of a swimmer crossing a river flowing with velocity V_(x) and of widht D and he is swimming in direction perpendicular to the river flow with velocity V_(y) relation to river, assuming no use of directed lengths, the quantities of interest are then V_(x),V_(y) both dimensioned as (L)/(T) , S the drift and D width of river both having dimension L. with these four quantities, we may conclude tha the equation for the drift S may be written : S prop V_(x)^(a)V_(y)^(b)D^(c) Or dimensionally L=((L)/(T))^(a+b)xx(L)^(c) from which we may deduce that a+b+c=1 and a+b=0, which leaves one of these exponents undetermined. If, however, we use directed length dimensions, then V_(x) will be dimensioned as (L_(x))/(T), V_(y) as (L_(y))/(T), S as L_(x)" and " D as L_(y) . The dimensional equation becomes : L_(x)=((L_(x))/(T))^(a) ((L_(y))/(T))^(b)(L_(y))^(c) and we may solve completely as a=1,b=-1 and c=1. The increase in deductive power gained by the use of directed length dimensions is apparent. From the concept of directed dimension what is the formula for a range (R) of a cannon ball when it is fired with vertical velocity component V_(y) and a horizontal velocity component V_(x) , assuming it is fired on a flat surface. [Range also depends upon acceleration due to gravity , g and k is numerical constant]

Acceleration of particle moving along the x-axis varies according to the law a=-2v , where a is in m//s^(2) and v is in m//s . At the instant t=0 , the particle passes the origin with a velocity of 2 m//s moving in the positive x-direction. (a) Find its velocity v as function of time t. (b) Find its position x as function of time t. (c) Find its velocity v as function of its position coordinates. (d) find the maximum distance it can go away from the origin. (e) Will it reach the above-mentioned maximum distance?

A particle executing S.H.M. has angular frequency 6.28 s^(-1) and amplitude 10 cm find (a) the time period (b) the maximum speed ( c ) the maximum acceleration (d) the speed when the displacement is 6 cm from the mean postiton ( e ) the speed at t=1//6 s assuming that the motion starts from rest at t=0
