1) Two velocities are moving in such direction that the angle between them is 30°. The two velocities are having magnitudes 15 m/s and 25 m/s respectively. Calculate the magnitude of resultant velocity. (Marks: 02)
- Published on 19 Oct 15
a. 30.47 m/s
b. 35 m/s
c. 38.72 m/s
d. none of the above

Answer
Explanation

ANSWER: 38.72 m/s
Explanation:
By using parallelogram law,
w2 =u2 + v2 + 2uv cos(a)
Where,
w = magnitude of resultant velocity
u = magnitude of first velocity
v = magnitude of second velocity
a = angle between first and second velocity

2) An object of 1 kg is attached to the string at the height of 100 m from the ground. What is the velocity of the object when it impacts on the ground, if it is released from string at 100 m?
Take acceleration due to gravity g=9.8 m/s2 (Marks: 02)

a. 1960 m/s
b. 221.36 m/s
c. 44.27 m/s
d. none of the above
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 44.27 m/s
Explanation:
No other than gravitational force is acting upon the object. Thus by using motion equation v2 = u2+ 2as and taking initial velocity of the object u = 0, we can get the final velocity that is 44.27 m/s.
