A robot gets separated from spaceship accelerating in space at `120 ms^(-2)` . What is acceleration of robot, at the instant when it is outside the spaceship?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the space, their is only gravitational pull of space ship on robot, which is very small in magnitude. Hence, according to Newton.s first law, the acceleration of robot is zero.

The rear side of a truck is open and a box of 40 kg mass is placed 5 m away from the open end as shown in Fig. 5.22. The coeffcient of friction between the box and the surface below it is 0.15. On a straight road, the truck starts from rest and accelerates with 2 m s^-2 . At what distance from the starting point does the box fall off the truck? (Ignore the size of the box).

A pair of parallel horizontal conducting rails of negligible resistance shorted at one end is fixed on a table. The distance between the rails is L. A conducting massless rod of resistance R can slide on the rails frictionlessly. The rod is tied to a massless string which passes over a pulley fixed to the edge of the table, A mass m, tied to the other end of the string hanges vertically. A constant magnetic field B exists perpendicular to the table. If the system is released from rest, calculate. the acceleration of the mass at the instant when the velocity of the rod is half the terminal velocity.
