33. A body starts from rest at time t = 0 and undergoes an acceleration as shown in fig.
Which of the graph shown in fig, represents the velocity-time (v – t) graph of the motion of the body
from t = 0 s to t = 4 s?
Ans. (d)
Solution :
Since the body is at rest at t = 0, u = 0. Now from t = 0 to t = 2 s, acceleration a = + 3 ms–2. Therefore,
during this time interval (i.e. from t = 0 to t = 2 s), the velocity of the body is 0 at or 3t.
Thus at t = 1s, = 3 ms–1 and at t = 2s, = 6 ms–1. Hence from t = 0 to t = 2 s, the velocity-time graph is
linear with a positive slope = + 3. Portion AB of graph (d) represents this.
For the next time interval from t = 2 s to t = 4 s, the acceleration a = – 3 ms–2. For this time interval, the

www.pioneermathematics.com
initial velocity u = velocity at the end of the first time interval = 6 ms–2. Therefore, velocity in the time
interval from t = 2 s to t = 4 s is given by
u at 6 3t
Therefore, velocity at t = 3 s (i.e. 1 s after t = 2 s)
= 6 – 3 × 1 = 3 ms–1 and velocity at t = 4 s (i.e. 2s after t = 2s) = 6 – 3 × 2 = 0. The slope of the velocity
time graph from t = 2 to t = 4 s is negative = – 3.
The graph is again linear but its slope is negative = – 3. This is represented by the portion BC in fig (d).
Hence the correct choice is (d).

The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface below is 0.2. Starting from rest , the trolley
is given a uniform acceleration of 3 ms–2. At what distance from the starting point will the block fall off
the trolley? Take g = 10 ms–2.
(a) 15 m (b) 20 m (c) 25 m (d) 30 m
Ans. (a)
Since the block is placed on the trolley, the acceleration of the block = acceleration of the trolley
a = 3 ms–2. Therefore, the force acting on the block is F = ma = 10 × 3 = 30 N
The weight mg of the block is balanced by the normal reaction R. As the trolley accelerates in the
forward direction, it exerts a reaction force F = 30 N on the block in the backward direction, as shown
in the figure. The force of friction will oppose this force and will act in a direction opposite to that of
force and will act in a direction opposite to that of F. The force and will act in a direction opposite to
that of F. The force of limiting friction f is given by
f f
R mg
or f mg 0.2 10 10
= 20 N
Thus, the block is acted upon by two forces – force F = 30 N towards the right and frictional force F =
20N towards the left see fig. The net force on the block towards the right, i.e. towards the rear end of

the trolley is F’ = F – f = 30 – 20 = 10 N
Due to this force, the block experiences an acceleration towards the rear end which is given by
2F' 10a' 1 ms
m 10
Let t be the time taken for the block to fall from the rear end of the trolley. Clearly, the block has to
travel a distance s = 5 m to fall off the trolley. Since the trolley starts from rest, initial velocity u = 0.
Now t can be obtained from the relation

Putting s = 5 m, u = 0 and a = a’ = 1 ms–2, we get t 10 s.

done is W, then
(a) P2> P1, W > 0 (b) P3< P1, W < 0 (c) P3> P1, W < 0 (d) P3 = P1, W = 0
Ans. (c)
Solution:
For an isothermal process: PV = constant and for an adiabatic process: PV = constant, where
is the ratio of the two specific heats pC /C of the gas. When a gas is compressed from a volume V to a
volume V V , the increase in pressure is

and iso

Hence P3 will be greater than P1. Therefore, the P-V diagrams of isothermal expansion from V1, P1 to V2,
P2 and adiabatic compression for V2, P2 to V1, P3 are as shown in fig. Let W1 and W2 be the work done in
isothermal expansion and adiabatic compression respectively. Therefore, net work done is
W = W1 + (–W2) = W1 – W2

Solution:
If a steady temperature difference 1 2 is maintained between the ends of a conducting rod of
length L and cross-sectional area A, the rate of flow of heat through the rod is given by
1 2kAq
L
where k is the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the material of the rod. In the first experiment, the
two rods are connected in series. If two rods of equal cross-sectional areas and of lengths L1 and L2 and
conductivities k1 and k2 are joined in series, the equivalent conductivity ks is given by
1 2 1 2
s 1 2
L L L L
k k k
(1)
For two identical rods, L1 = L2 = L and k1 = k2 = k, in which case, Eq. (1) gives ks = k. Further, when two
identical rods are joined in series, the length of the composite rod is (2L) but its cross-sectional area if
A, the same as that of each rod. Hence the rate of flow of heat in this case is given by

In the second case, the two rods are connected in parallel. If two rods of equal lengths and equal cross-
section areas having conductivities k1 and k2 are joined in parallel, the equivalent conductivity of the
composite rod is given by
p 1 2k k k
For two identical rods, k1 = k2 = k. Hence kp = (2k). Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the
composite rod is (2A). Therefore, in the second case, the rate of flow of heat is given by

59. A wooden block with a coin placed on its top, floats in water as shown in fig. The distances l and h are
shown. After some time the coin falls into the water. Then
(a) l decrease and h increase (b) l increases and h decreases
(c) both l and h increase (d) both l and h decrease
Ans. (d)
Solution:
When the coin falls into water, the downward force reduces causing the block to rise thus decreasing l.
Since the density of the coin is greater then that of water, the volume of coin will be less than the
volume of the liquid displaced, causing a decrease in h. Hence the correct choice is (d).
