Question 19. Deduce the expression for horizontal range of a projectile. For what angle of pro jection does horizontal range become maximum?
Answer:
Expression for range of the projectile
We know that (v0 cosθ) remains constant.
Instantaneous distance along the horizontal is given by x = (v0 cosθ)t
for x = R (range of the projectile),
t = T= time of flight.
1st PUC Physics Previous Year Question Paper March 2019 (North) image - 1
Hence R= \(\left(v_{0} \cos \theta\right)\left(\frac{2 v_{0} \sin \theta}{g}\right)\)
Note: R = \(=\frac{2}{\mathrm{g}} v_{0 \mathrm{x}} v_{0 \mathrm{y}}\)
i.e., R = \(\frac{v_{0}^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{g}\) where sin2θ = 2sinθ cosθ
Hence R ∝ v02 for the given angle of projection.

  2. Force of friction always acts tangential to the surface and opposite the direction of motion.
  3. The limiting friction is directly proportional to the normal reaction between two surfaces in contact.

Let ‘v0’ be the initial velocity of a particle. Let ‘a’ be the B uniform acceleration v – t graph gives a straight line with a constant slope, tanθ = m
i.e. a = \(\frac{v-v_{0}}{t}\)……..(1)

From the figure OABD is a trapezium.
Area of trapezium OABD = Area of rectangle OACD + Area of triangle ACB
The second term on the right indicates the additional distance covered by the particle due to acceleration.
i.e., area of trapezium = (OA)(OD) + 1/2 (AC)(BC) = v0t + 1/2 t(v – v0) by using (1)
Area of trapezium = v0t + 1/2 at2
From the dimensional analysis. the right hand terms indicate the distance travelled. From the principle of homogeneity, the left hand side term should indicate the distance covered.
Hence area of the trapezium = x = v0t + 1/2 at2
For a uniform motion, a = 0 and x = v0t
For a particle starting from rest v0 = 0, x = 1/2 at2
in a vector form, \(\vec{x}=\vec{v}_{0} t+\frac{1}{2} \overrightarrow{a t}^{2}\)

At the time of impact the force of action acts on the body B and the force of reaction acts on A.
Applying Newton’s III law of motion

This shows that the total final linear momentum of the isolated system equals its total initial momentum.

Question 29.
State and explain parallel axes and perpendicular axes theorems of moment of inertia.
Answer:
Statement: The moment of inertia of a body about any axis is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of the body about a parallel axis passing through the centre of mass and the product of mass of the body and square of the distance between the two parallel axes.
I = I0 + Md2.
Let ‘d’ be the distance between the two parallel axes. Let I be the moment of inertia about an axis passing through the centre of mass of a thin rod of length L.
1st PUC Physics Previous Year Question Paper March 2019 (North) image - 8
We know that I0 = \(\frac{\mathrm{ML}^{2}}{12}\) and d = \(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}\)
Hence moment of inertia at one end = \(\frac{M L^{2}}{12}+M\left(\frac{L}{2}\right)^{2}\)
I = \(\frac{M L^{2}}{4}\left[\frac{1}{3}+1\right]=\frac{M L^{2}}{3}\)

Statement : The moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to two other axes acting in the same plane with their point of intersection being a point on it and the (third) axis passing through the common point, is equal to the sum of moments of inertia about the two axes.
e.g: Iz = Ix + Iy.
Let M be the mass of the disk of radius R.
M.I. about a point passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane containing X and Y is I = \(\frac{M R^{2}}{2}\)
Since X and Y are in the same plane, Ix = Iy
1st PUC Physics Previous Year Question Paper March 2019 (North) image - 9
∴ Iz = Ix + Iy becomes Iz = 2Ix
hence Ix = \(\frac{I_{Z}}{2}=\frac{M R^{2}}{4}\)
i.e. moment of inertia of a circular disc about the diameter \(\frac{I_{Z}}{2}=\frac{M R^{2}}{4}\)

where ’K’ is thermal conductivity of the material of the conductor.
The SI unit of thermal conductivity is Wm-1 K-1.

We know that total energy of a particle executing SHM,
TE = KE + PE
where K.E= \(\frac{1}{2}\) mv2
K.E = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mA2 cos2 (ωt + Φ)ω2
and P.E = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ky2
i.e., P.E = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mω2. A2sin2(ωt + Φ)
Hence T.E = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mω2. A2 (cos2(cost + Φ) + sin2 (ωt + Φ))
or T.E = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mω2. A2
Representing mω2 = k
we get TE = \(\frac{1}{2}\) kA2
K.E of the particle=\(\frac{1}{2}\) mω2. A2 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) mω2. x2
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) mω2(A2 -x2 )
where x = A cos (ωt + Φ)
Also K.E = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mω2(A2)(1 – cos2(ωt + Φ))
i.e., K.E = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mω2 A2sin2(ωt + Φ)
K(t) – K.E of a particle.

T = Period of SHM
TE = KE + PE = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mω2 A2 cos2 (ωt + Φ) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) mω2 A2sin2(ωt + Φ) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mω2 A2
