The direction of earth's magnetic field is horizontal and vertical respectively at

Two particles are projected from the same point with the same speed, at different angles theta_1 and theta_2 to the horizontal. Their times of flight are t_1 and t_2 respectively and they have the same horizontal range. Then the incorrect relation is

Assertion: If a compass needle be kept at magnetic north pole of the earth, the compass needle may stay in any direction. Reason: Dip needle will stay vertical at the north pole of earth.

A magnetic needle is suspended freely so that it can rotate freely in the magnetic meridian. In order to keep it in the horizontal position, a weight of 0.2 g is kept on one end of the needle. If the pole strength of this needle is 20 Am, find the value of the vertical component of the earth s magnetic field, (g = 9.8 m//s^-2)

A body is projected with a velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 30^@ with the vertical the maximum height and horizontal range are respectively

A solid rectangular sheet has two different coefficients of linear expansion alpha_1 and alpha_2 along its length and breadth respectively. The coefficient of surface expansion is (for alpha_1 t<<, alpha_2 t<< 1 )

A body is projected with a vertical velocity of 30 m//s at an angle of 30^@ with the horizontal, the maximum height and horizontal range are respectively

Using the energy conservation, derive the expression for the minimum speeds at different locations along a vertical circular motion controlled by gravity. Also prove that the difference between the extreme tensions (or normal forces) depends only upon the weight of the object.
