A particle is moving under the influence of a force which is fixed in magnitude and acting at an angle `theta` in the direction of motion. The path described by the particle is

A

a circle

B

an ellipse

C

a parabola

D

a straight line

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
If the fixed force acts at angle `theta` in the direction of motion, the path described by the particle is parabola.

How motion of any particle is described ?

When a particle is undergoing motion, the diplacement of the particle has a magnitude that is equal to or smaller than the total distance travelled by the particle. In many cases the displacement of the particle may actually be zero, while the distance travelled by it is non-zero. Both these quantities, however depend on the frame of reference in which motion of the particle is being observed. Consider a particle which is projected in the earth's gravitational field, close to its surface, with a speed of 100sqrt(2) m//s , at an angle of 45^(@) with the horizontal in the eastward direction. Ignore air resistance and assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m//s^(2) . There exists a frame (D) in which the distance travelled by the particle is minimum. This minimum distance is equal to :-

An electron and a proton are moving under the influence of mutual forces . In calculating the change in the kinetic energy of the system during motion , one ignores the magnetic force of one on another . This is , because

Consider an observer in frame D (of the previous question), who observes a body of mass 10 kg acelerating in the upward direction at 30 m//s^(2) (w.r.t. himself). The net force acting on this body, as observed from the ground is :-
