Physics and Mathematics Exercise 29
Solution 1
The angle between A and B from the x-axis are 20° and 110° respectively.
Their magnitudes are 3 units and 4 units respectively.
Thus the angle between A and B is = 110 - 20 = 90°
Now, R2 = A2 + B2 + 2ABcosѲ
= 32 + 42 + 2.3.4 Cos(90)
= 52
Or, R = 5
Let ϕ is the angle between R and A,
Then tan ϕ = , or ϕ = 53°.
The resultant makes an angle of (53+20)° = 73° with the x axis.
Solution 2
A and B are inclined at angles of 30 degrees and 60 degrees with respect to the x axis
Angle between them = (60 -30) = 90 degrees
Given that |A| = |B| = 10 units, we get
R2 = A2 + B2 +2ABcosϴ
= 102 + 102 + 2.10.10 Cos(30)
R = 20cos15°
Or, R = 19.3 units
And tan ϕ = , or ϕ = 15°.
Therefore, this resultant makes an angle of (15+30) = 45 degrees with the x axis
Solution 3
Vectors A, B and C are oriented at 45°, 135° and 315° respectively.
|A|=|B|=|C|=100 units
Let A = Axi + Ayj +Azk, B = Bxi + Byj +Bzk, and C = Cxi + Cyj +Czk, and we can write that,
Ax= Cx=100cos(45°)=100/√2 , by considering their components
Bx=-100/√2
Now Ay = 100sin(45°)= 100/√2,
By= 100sin(1350)= 100/√2
Similarly, Cy= -100/√2
Net x component = 100/√2+100/√2-100/√2=100/√2
Net y component = 100/√2+100/√2-100/√2=100/√2
R2=x2+y2=1002
R=100 and tan ϕ = (100/√2)/( 100/√2)=1, and ϕ = 45°
Solution 4
a = 4i+3j, b = 3i+4j
|a|=|b|= =5
a+b = 7i+7j and a-b = i-j
|a+b|
= 7√2 and |a-b| = = √2
Solution 5
x component of OA = 2cos30° = √3
x component of BC = 1.5 cos 120° = -0.75
x component of DE = 1 cos 270° = 0
y component of OA = 2 sin 30° = 1
component of BC = 1.5 sin 120° = 1.3
component of DE = 1 sin 270° = -1
Rx= x component of resultant = 3 - 0.75 + 0 = 0.98 m
Ry = resultant y component = 1 + 1.3 - 1 = 1.3 m
So, R = (Rx2+Ry2)1/2 = 1.6 m
It makes and angle ϴ with positive x-axis then tan ϴ = Ry/Rx = 1.32 ϴ = tan-1(1.32)
Solution 6
|a| = 3 and |b| = 4
Let ϴ be the angle between them.
Then, using the relation R2 = A2 + B2 +2ABcosϴ,
a)
We get for R = 1,
1 = 9+16+24Cos ϴ
Or, ϴ = 180°
b)
For, R = 5, we have
25 = 9+16+24Cos ϴ
Or, cos ϴ = 0;
ϴ = 90°
c)For R =7,
49= 9+16+24Cos ϴ,
Or cos ϴ = 1,
And ϴ = 0°
Solution 7
AB = 2i + 0.5j + 4i = 6i + 0.5j
As the car went forward, took a left and then a right.
So, AB = (62+0.52)1/2= 6.02km
And ϕ = tan-1(BE\AE) = tan-1(0.5/6) = tan-1(1/12)
Solution 8
In ⊗ABC, tan⎩ = x/2 and in ⊗DCF, tan⎩= (2 - x)/4, So, (x/2) = (2 - x)/4. Solving,
4 - 2x = 4x
Or, 6x = 4
Or, x = 2/3 ft
a) In ⊗ABC, AC = (AB2+ BC2)1/2 = ft
b) In ⊗CFD, DF = 1 - (2/3) = 4/3 ft
So, CF = 4 ft. Now, CD = (CF2+ FD2)1/2 = 4√10/3 ft
c) In ⊗ADE, AE = (AE2+ ED2)1/2 = 2√2 ft.
Solution 9
The displacement vector is given by r= 7i+4j +3k
Magnitude of displacement of the mosquitoes= (72+42+32)1/2 = 74ft
The components of displacement along x axis, y axis and z axis are 7 units, 4 units and 3 units respectively.
Solution 10
a = 4.5 n, where n is unit vector in north direction
a) 3a = 4.5 X 3n = 13.5 in north direction
b) -4a = 4.5 X -4n = 18 in south direction
Solution 11
We have a = 2m, b = 3m.
ϴ = 600 is the angle between the two vectors
Scalar product between the two vectors = a.b =
2×3×cos(600)=3m2
Vector product between the two vectors = a×b =
2×3×sin(600)=3√3m2
Solution 12
From polygon law of vector addition, the resultant of the six vectors can be affirmed to be zero. Here their magnitudes are the same.
That is, A = B = C = D = E = F.
Rx = A cos→ + A cos ⇒/3 + A cos 2⇒/3 + A cos 3⇒/3 + A cos
4⇒/4 + A cos 5⇒/5 = 0 [As resultant is zero, x component of
resultant is also 0]
Now taking A common and putting Rx=0,
cos ⇒ + cos ⇒/3 + cos 2⇒/3 + cos 3⇒/3 + cos 4⇒/3 + cos 5⇒/3 = 0
Solution 13
a = 2i +3j+4k and b = 3i + 4j +5k
Let angle between them is ϴ
Then a.b =2.3 +3.4 + 4.5 = 38
|a| =
|b| =
Now cos ϴ = a.b/|a||b| = 38/
Solution 14
(A×B)= ABsinϴ ȗ, where ȗ is a unit vector perpendicular to both A and B.
Now, A.(A×B) is basically a dot product between two vectors which are perpendicular to each other. Then cos90° = 0, and thus
A.(A×B) = 0
Solution 15
A = 2i + 3j + 4k, B = 4i + 3j + 2k
A×B = = -6i + 12j-6k
Solution 16
A, B and C are mutually perpendicular vectors. Now, if we take cross product between any two vectors, the resultant vector will be in parallel to the third vector, as there are only three axis perpendicular to each other.
So if we consider (A×B), then it is parallel to C, and so angle between the resultant vector and C is 0°, and sin(0°)=0. So, C×(A×B) = 0
Solution 17
The particle moves from PP' in a straight line with a constant speed v.
From the figure, we see that OP×v = (OP)v sinθ ȗ, where ȗ is a unit vector perpendicular to v and OP. Now,
We know, OQ= OP sinθ = OP'sinθ'
So, the position of the particle may vary, but the magnitude and direction of OP×v will be constant.
OP×v is independent of P.
Solution 18
F =q(E+v×B)
Now, for net force to be 0, we must have E = -(v×B)
So, the direction of E must be opposite to that of (v×B), so v must be in Z axis and its magnitude is E/(B sinθ). For v to be minimum. θ= 90°, so v = E/B.
Solution 19
Let us assume that B is along Y axis, and A is along positive x axis and C is along negative X axis. Now, A.B = B.C = 0. But A ⇏C
Solution 20
To find the slope at any point, we draw a tangent and we extend it to meet the X axis. Then we can find Ѳ as shown in the figure.
We can use another way, which is by differentiation. We write,
Solution 21
y = sin(x)
Let y1 = sin(π/3) and y2 = sin(π/3 + π/100)
Change in y = y2 -y1 = sin(π/3 + π/100)- sin(π/3)
= sin(π/3 +( π/3 + π/100 - π/3)) -sin(π/3)
= 0.0157
Solution 22
We have, i= i0 e-t/RC
Rate of change of current
a) When t = 0, di/dt = -i0/RC
b) When t = RC, di/dt = -i0/RCe
c) When t = 10RC, di/dt = -
Solution 23
i= i0 e- t/RC
Here, i0 = 2A, R = 6×105Ω, C=5×10-6 F= 5×10-7F
a) i|t=0.3= 2×e(-0.3/0.3)=2/e Amperes.
b) di/dt| t=0.3 = -2e(-0.3/0.3)/0.3 = -20/3e
c) i|t=0.31 = 5.8/3e Amperes
Solution 24
y= 3x2 +6x+7
Area bounded under the curve within x = 5 and x = 10 is calculated by the method of integration.
Area = 105= 1135 sq. units
Solution 25
y = sin(x)
Area under the curve from x =0 t x= π is calculated by the method of integration.
Area =
Solution 26
The equation of the curve is y = e- x. And when x =0, then y = e-0 = 1. Now, y = 0 when x = ∞. Using these boundaries, we get, Area = .
Solution 27
It is given that linear density (mass per unit length) 𝘱 = a + bx, where x is distance from origin.
a) S.I. unit of a = kg/m
S.I. unit of b = kg/m2
b) To find the mass of the rod, we have to take a small segment dx placed at a distance x from the origin.
or, dm = 𝘱dx,
or,= [ax+bx2/2]L0 = aL + 0.5bL2
Solution 28
It is given that
Now, p=0 at t = 0. So,
= 10(10-0)+ (100-0)=200N/s = 200 kg m/s
Solution 29
It is given that
We can write dy = x2dx
or, ∫
Solution 30
The number of significant digits are as follows:
a) 4
b) 4
c) 5
d) 4
Solution 31
It is stated that the meter scale is graduated at every millimeter. Now, we know 1m = 1000mm. So minimum measurement can be of 1 digit value(say, 3mm, 5mm), then there can be up to two digits and three digits(say, 76mm, 305 mm) and the maximum value can be 1000mm. So, there can be 1, 2, 3 or 4 significant digits.
Solution 32
(a) Here after 4, the number is 7, which is greater than 5. So, the next two digits are neglected and the 4 becomes 5. Hence, rounded value = 3500
(b) Here after 4, the number is 1, which is less than 5. So, the next two digits are neglected and the 4 doesn't change. Hence, rounded value = 84
(c) Here after 5, the number is 5. So, the next two digits are neglected and the 5 is increased by 1. Hence, rounded value 2.6
(d) Here, after 8 the number is 5, and hence 8 is increased by 1. So the rounded value is 29
Solution 33
Length L = 4.54cm, radius r = 1.75cm
Volume = πr2L = π × (4.54) × (1.75)2 = 43.6577cm3.
Now, it has to be rounded off to 3 significant digits, so we see that after 6, the value is 5. So 6 becomes 7, and thus the rounded off value is given by V= 43.7 cm3.
Solution 34
Average thickness
Now we have to round it off to three significant figures. So, after 7, the digit is 3. Hence, Average thickness = 2.17mm.
Solution 35
Effective Length = (90.0+2.13) cm
In the measurement of the 90.0cm, there are only two significant digits. Keeping this in mind, we have to consider only two significant digits during addition. So,
Effective Length = (90.0+2.1)cm= 92.1cm
