Question No. 52 to 55 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the
questions:
Certain collisions are referred to as elastic collisions. Elastic collisions are collisions in which both
momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. The total system kinetic energy before the collision
equals the total system kinetic energy after the collision. If total kinetic energy is not conserved, then
the collision is referred to as an inelastic collision.
The coefficient of restitution, denoted by (e), is the measure of degree elasticity of collision. It is defined
as the ratio of the final to inital relative speed between two objects after they collide. It normally ranges
from 0 to 1 where 1 would be a perfectly elastic collision. A perfectly inelastic collision has a coefficient
of 0. In real life most of the collisions are neither perfectly elastic nor perfectly inealstic and 0 < e < 1.

Mass of the truck Before collision:
Speed of the car = 20 m/s
Momentum of the car = 20000 kg m/s
Speed of the truck = 20 m/s
Momentum of the truck = 60000 kg m/s
After collision:
Speed of the car = 40 m/s in the opposite direction
Momentum of the car = 40000 kg m/s in the opposite direction
Speed of the truck = 0
Momentum of the truck = 0

a. Both elastic since kinetic energy and momentum is conserved

Solution
Section A
1. (d) Total mechanical energy is a constant
Explanation: Mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energies in a system. The
principle of the conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy in a system
(i.e., the sum of the potential and kinetic energies) remains constant as long as the only forces acting
are conservative forces.
2. (c) Resistance
Explanation: [Resistance] = [ML2T-3A-2]
Unit of resistance = kg m2A-2s-3
3. (c) 220 V, 50 Hz
Explanation: The voltage in India is 220 volts, alternating at 50 cycles (Hertz) per second. This is the
same as, or similar to, most countries in the world including Australia, Europe and the UK.
4. (b) 40 m
Explanation: Initial velocity u = 54 km/h = 15 m/s
Let Final velocity v = 0
Acceleration a = -0.3 m/s2
Time taken to stop = t
Using v = u + at
0 = 15 + (-0.3)t
t = 50 sec
It means it has been stopped before 1 minute.
So distance covered in 1 minute is given by
s= ut +1/2 at2
= 15 60 + 1/2 (-0.3) (60)2
= 360 m
As both the wheels are connected by a belt, they have common linear velocity,
v1 = v2
= 5 rad s-1
7. (d) 2mva
Explanation: According to the question
Initial velocity = vi = v
After reflection from the wall
Final velocity = vf = -v
Trajectory equation for point of intersection is

Explanation: Mass-energy equivalence states that anything having mass has an equivalent amount of
energy and vice versa. With these fundamental quantities directly relating to one another by Einstein's
theory of special relativity, it shows that matter (as mass) and energy can be converted into each other
according to the famous equation .
13. (c) 10.04 kg m2
Explanation: M.I. about the centre of the plate,
system consisting of three mutually perpendicular axes, labelled X-, Y-, and Z- axes.
The point of intersection of these three axes is called origin (O) and serves as the reference point. The
coordinates (x, y. z) of an object describe the position of the object with respect to this coordinate
system.
To measure time, we position a clock in this system. This coordinate system along with a clock
constitutes a frame of reference.
18. (c) minutes
Explanation:
The velocity of man w.r.t. water = 3 kmph. Thus the velocity of water is not necessary here because the
velocity of man includes the contribution of the velocity of water because the given velocity of man is
with respect to the flowing water which is the resultant velocity. The breadth of the river = 500 m = 0.5
km. Component of the velocity of man w.r.t. river along horizontal axis, v = 3sin( )
Now time is taken to cross the river, t = = hrs
minutes
=
Hence, angle of banking is:-
= = 37o
20. (c) 5.3 m/s
Explanation: 95% of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
applying conservation of mechanical energy between horizontal and lowermost points
v = = = 5.3m/s
21. (c) forces acting on the particles
Explanation: The centre of mass of a system of particles does not depend on the forces acting on the
particles.
22. (d) Smaller by a factor of 0.63
Explanation: The time period of revolution of the earth around sun Te = 1 Year
The time period of revolution of the planet around the sun, Tp = 0.5 Year
Orbital size of earth, re = 1 A.U
Orbital size of the planet,rp =?
Applying Kepler's third law we get:
rp = 0.63 A.U.
23. (c) a straight line inclined to the time axis.
Explanation: When velocity - time graph is plotted for an object moving with uniform acceleration, the
slope of the graph is a straight line.
Here,
vc = Velocity of the cyclist
vr = Velocity of falling rain
In order to protect herself from the rain, the woman must hold her umbrella in the direction of the
relative velocity (v) of the rain with respect to the woman.
v = vr + (-vc) = 30 + (-10) = 20 m/s
tan =
= tan-1
180
Hence, the woman must hold the umbrella toward the south, at an angle of nearly 18° with the vertical.
25. (d) increases until the body start to move
Explanation: It is the maximum friction, where a body just starts to move over the surface.
for example. A large block of mass m is placed on a horizontal table. Apply a small force. the block does
not move due to the friction force which balances the applied force. Now Gradually increase the
applied force until it starts moving. This maximum applied force acting in the opposite direction is
called Static Friction.

(objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the mass of each or the forces
that caused the motion.

Explanation: The motorcycle’s x- and y-coordinates at t=0.50 s are given by ;
x = vox t = = 4.5 m
y = = = -1.2m
The negative value of y shows that the motorcycle is below its starting point.
The motorcycle’s distance from the origin is given by , r = = 4.7 m
32. (b) When the elevator moves downward with constant acceleration
Explanation: When the elevator moves downward with acceleration a, the apparent weight, W' = m (g
- a) < W (= mg).
33. (c) linear momentum only
Explanation: Only linear momentum is conserved and not angular momentum because external
torque is not zero. Also, K.E. is not conserved because energy losses may occur during a collision.

M.I. of solid cylinder
Clearly,
35. (c) -20
Explanation: The velocity of A is given by, vA = +27 kmh–1 = +7.5 ms–1
The relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by, vBA = vB – vA = −7.5−12.5 = –20 ms–1

= 34.6 m s-1
= 35 m s-1
38. (c) in all domains including domains where Newton’s laws may not be valid.
Explanation: The total linear momentum and the total angular momentum (both vectors) of an
isolated system are also conserved quantities. Their validity goes beyond mechanics. They are the basic
conservation laws of nature in all domains, even in those where Newton’s laws may not be valid.
39. (b) the smallest quantity that can be measured using that instrument.
Explanation: The smallest value that can be measured by the measuring instrument is called its least
count. Measured values are good only up to this value. The least count error is the error associated
with the resolution of the instrument.

Total reaction of the wedge on the block is
R = mgcos + masin
Here, mass of earth (ME = 5.97 1024kg) and radius of earth(RE = 6.38 106m)
Explanation:
According to Shell's theorem, If a particle of mass m is located outside a spherical shell of mass M at, for
instance, point P, the shell attracts the particle as though the mass of the shell were concentrated at its
centre. Thus, as far as the gravitational force acting on a particle outside the shell is concerned, a
spherical shell acts no differently from the solid spherical distributions of mass.
