Consider two parallel conducting frictionless tracks kept in a gravity-free space as shown in Fig. 3.200. A movable conducting PQ , initially kept at OA , is given a velocity 10 ms^(-1) toward right. The space contains a magnetic field which depends upon the distance moved by conductor PQ from the OA line and given by vec(B) = cx(-hat(k)) [c = constant = 1 SI unit] The mass of the conductor PQ is 1 kg and length of PQ is 1m. Answer the following question based on the passage. The loss during the time interval t = 0 to time t seconds when the speed of the conductor is 5 ms^(-1) is

A particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated by a potential difference V volt and made to enter a magnetic field region at an angle theta with the field. At the same moment, another particle of same mass and charge is projected in the direction of the field from the same point. Magnetic field induction is B. What would be the speed of second particle so that both particles meet again and again after regular interval of time. Also, find the time interval after which they meet and the distance travelled by the second particle during that interval.

A sound source S, emitting a sound of frequency 400 Hz and a receiver R of mass m are at the same point. R is performing SHM with the help of a spring of force constant K. At a time t = 0, R is at the mean position and moving towards the right, as shown. At the same time, the source starts moving away from R with some acceleration a. The frequency registered by the receiver at a time t = 10 s is 250 Hz. What is the time (in seconds) at which the corresponding registered frequency of 250 Hz was emitted by the source? [Given that (m)/(K)=(25)/(pi^(2)) and amplitude of oscillation = (100)/(pi) m, V_("sound") = 320 m s^(-1)]
