A car is moving at a constant speed of 40 km/h along a straight road which heads towards a large vertical wall and makes a sharp 90^0 turn by the side of the wall. A fly flyingat constant speed of 100 km/h, starts from the wall towrds the car t an instant when the car is 20 km away,flies until it reaches the glasspane of the car and returns to teh wll at teh same speed. It continues to fly between the car and teh wall time the car makes the 90^0 turn. a. What is the total distance the fly has travelled during the period?b. How many trips has it made between the car and the wall?

Two small spheres, each having a mass of 20 g, are suspended form a common point by two insulating strings of length 40 cm each. The spheres are identically charged and the speration between the balls at equilibrium is found to be 4 cm . Find the charge on each sphere.

A classroom demonstration of Newton's first law is as follows: A glass is covered with a plastic card and a coin is placed on the card. The card is given a quick strike and the coin falls in the glass. a.Should the friction coefficient between the card and the coin be small or large? b. Should the coin be light or heavy? c. Why does the experiment fail if the card is gently pushed?

In measuring time period of a pendulum, it is advised to measure the time between consecutive passage through the mean position in the same direction. This is said to result in better accuracy than measuring time between consecutive passage through an extreme position. Explain.

Embryosac is otherwise known as female gametophyte. The body of the ovule between the chalaza and embryo sac is called hypostase. Tenuinucellate ovules have very small nucellus. The ovule with one integument said to be monosporic.

A car moving at a speed of 36 km/hr is taking a turn on a circular road of radius 50 m. A small wooden plate is kept on the seat with its plane perpendicular to the radius of the circular road figure. A small bock of mass 100 g is kept on the seat which rests against the plate. The friction coefficient between the block and the plate is mu=0.58. a. Find the normal contact force exerted by the plate on the block. b. The plate is slowly turned so that the angle between the normal to the plate and the radius of the road slowly increases Find the angle at which the block will just start sliding on the plate.

One end of a U-tube containing mercury is connected to a suction pump and the other end to atmosphere. A small pressure difference is maintained between the two columns. Show that, when the suction pump is removed, the column of mercury in the U-tube executes simple harmonic motion.

Figure shows a spring fixed at the bottom end of an incline of inclination 37^0 . A small block of mass 2 kg starts slipping down the incline from a point 4.8 m away from the spring. The block compresses the spring by 20 cm, stops momentarily and then rebounds through a distance of 1 m up the incline. Find a. the frictioin coefficient between the plane and the block and b. the spring constant of the spring. Take g=10 m/s^2 .
