One end of a string of length 'l' is connected to a particle of mass m and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table . If the particle moves in a circle with speed 'v', the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre ) is :(T is the tension in the string ).

A particle of mass 1 gm and charge 1muC is held at rest on a frictionaless horizontal surface at distance 1 m from the fixed charge 2mc. If the particleis released, it will be repelled . The spedd of the particle when it is at a distance of 10m from the fixed charge is

One end of a string of length l is connected to a particle of mass m and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed v the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) is : (i) T, (ii) T - (mv^2)/(l) , (iii) T + (mv^2)/(l) , (iv) 0 T is the tension in the string. [Choose the correct alternative].

[A] : Soil particles , particularly clay and organic matter in soil , contain negative charges that attract positively charged ions such as Ca^(++) , K^(+) and Mg^(+ +) [R] : This attraction keeps these ions at a soil level where they are available to plants .

Two particles of mass m each are tied at the ends of a light string of length 2a. The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance 'a' from the center P (as shown in figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force F. As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration, when the separation between them becomes 2x, is :
