Section – A
1. Find the dimensions of a / b in the
equation F = a √ x + b t 2 , where F is
force , x is distance and t is time.
2. Can a body have a constant speed
and still have a varying velocity?
3. Derive the relation between linear
velocity and angular velocity.
4. Derive an expression for work done
in terms of rectangular
components.
Section – B
5. State the work energy theorem .
Prove it for a constant force .
OR
Derive an expression for the kinetic
energy of a body by calculus method
 Deduce its relation with linear
momentum.
6. Define angle of repose . Deduce its
relation with coefficient of static
friction.
7. Derive the following equations of
motion for uniformly accelerated
motion from velocity time graph
1. S = u t + 1 / 2 a t 2
2. V 2 = u 2 + 2 a s
OR
Two balls are thrown
simultaneously . A vertically upwards
with a speed of 20 m/ s from the ground
and B vertically downwards from a
height of 40 metre with the same speed
and along the same line of motion. At
what points and do the two balls collide?
Take g = 9.8 m / s 2 .
8. Prove the relation _____
∆ Z / Z = ∆ A / A + ∆ B / B for the
error in the division or quotient.
Section- C
9. Derive by the method of
dimensions, an expression for the
volume of a liquid flowing out per
second through a narrow pipe.
Assume that the rate of flow of
liquid depends on-
1. The coefficient of viscosity n of
the liquid
2. The radius r of the pipe
 3. The pressure gradient ( p / l )
along the pipe. Take k = π / 8 .
10. Define momentum. Give its SI unit.
Discuss the variation of momentum
when two bodies of different /
equal masses have different / equal
momenta. Show the each situation
graphically.
11. What is collision? Prove that in an
elastic one dimensional collision
between two bodies, the relative
velocity of approach before collision
is equal to the relative velocity of
separation after the collision.
Hence derive an expression for the
velocity of the two bodies in terms
 of their initial velocities before
collision.
OR
Show that the total mechanical
energy of a freely falling body
remains constant throughout its
fall.
12. (1) What do you mean by banking
of a curved road ? Determine the
angle of banking so as to minimise
the wear and tear of the tyres of a
car negotiating a banked curve.
(2) A bend in a level road has a
radius of 100 metres . Find the
maximum speed which a car
turning this bend may have without
skidding , if the coefficient of
friction between the tyres and road
is 0.8 .
OR
State the law of conservation of
linear momentum and derive it
from Newton's second law of
motion.
A batsman hits back a ball straight
in the direction of the bowler
without changing its initial speed of
12 m / s . If the mass of the ball is
0.15 kg , determine the Impulse
imparted to the ball . ( Assume
linear motion of the ball. )
