A vector a has the components 2p and 1 w.r.t. a rectangular cartesian system. This system is rotated through a certain angle about the origin in the counter clockwise sence. If with respect to a new system, a has components (p+1) and 1, then

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
We have `a=2p hati+hatj`
Let b be the vector obtained from a by rotating the axes. Then, the components of b are p+1 and 1. therefore,
`b=(p+1)hatalpha+hatbeta`
where `hatalpha and hatbeta` are unit vectors along the new axes.
but `|b|=|a|`
`implies 4p^(2)+1=(p+1)^(2)+1`
`implies 3p^(2)-2p-1=0impliesp=1,-(1)/(3)`
`implies p_(1)=1 and p_(2)=-(1)/(3)`
`therefore 3|p_(1)+p_(2)|=3|1-(1)/(3)|=2`.

Separation of Motion of a system of particles into motion of the centre of mass and motion about the centre of mass : (a) Show p=p_(i).+m_(i)V where p_(i) is the momentum of the ith particle (of mass m_(i) ) and p_(i).=m_(i)v_(i). .

Consider a disc rotating in the horizontal plane with a constant angular speed omega about its centre O . The disc has a shaded region on one side of the diameter and an unshaded region on the other side as shown in the figure. When the disc is in the orientation as shown, two pebbles P and Q are simultaneously projected at an angle towards R. The velocity of projection is in the y-z plane and is same for both pebbles with respect to the disc. Assume that (i) they land back on the disc before the disc has completed (1)/(8) rotation, (ii) their range is less than half the disc radius, and (iii) w remains constant throughout. Then

ODBAC is a fixed rectangular conductor of negligible resistance (CO is not connected) and OP is a conductor which rotates clockwise with an angular velocity omega as figure. The entire system is in a uniform magnetic field B whose direction is along the normal to the surface of the rectangular conductor ABDC. The conductor OP is in electric contact with ABDC. The rotating conductor has a resistance of lambda per unit length. Find the current in the rotating conductor, as it rotates by 180^@ .

A frame of reference that is accelerated with respect to an inertial frame of reference is called a non-inertial frame of reference. A coordinate system fixed on a circular disc rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular velocity omega is an example of non=inertial frame of reference. The relationship between the force vecF_(rot) experienced by a particle of mass m moving on the rotating disc and the force vecF_(in) experienced by the particle in an inertial frame of reference is vecF_(rot)=vecF_(i n)+2m(vecv_(rot)xxvec omega)+m(vec omegaxx vec r)xxvec omega . where vecv_(rot) is the velocity of the particle in the rotating frame of reference and vecr is the position vector of the particle with respect to the centre of the disc. Now consider a smooth slot along a diameter fo a disc of radius R rotating counter-clockwise with a constant angular speed omega about its vertical axis through its center. We assign a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the disc, the x-axis along the slot, the y-axis perpendicular to the slot and the z-axis along the rotation axis (vecomega=omegahatk) . A small block of mass m is gently placed in the slot at vecr(R//2)hati at t=0 and is constrained to move only along the slot. The distance r of the block at time is
