4.22

Let us consider a vector . The equation can be written as
Px = Py = 1 = = = …….(i)
So the magnitude of vector + =
Let be the angle made by vector , with the x axis as given in the above fi
How is the linear motion different from the motion in a plane?
How is the linear motion different from the motion in a plane?
Linear motion is one-dimensional motion. It refers to motion in a single direction or in a straight line. In linear motion, the object either moves forward or backward along one axis, i.e. x-axis. For example - a ball dropped from a height vertically downward or a car moving straight on a road. 
What is the significance of the angle in projectile motion problems?
What is the significance of the angle in projectile motion problems?
The angle of projection is used to find the trajectory, horizontal range of a projectile, maximum height, and time of flight. For example, the maximum range on level ground is given by the 45-degree angle.
In two-dimensional motion, why is it important to resolve vectors into components?
In two-dimensional motion, why is it important to resolve vectors into components?
The vectors like velocity, displacement, and acceleration act along different directions in the two-dimensional motion. Resolving the vectors into the vertical and horizontal components allows the application of one-dimensional kinematic equations in each direction separately. It helps solve the pro
For two vectors A and B, A B A B + = − is always true when (a) A B = ≠ 0 (b) A⊥ B (c) A B = ≠ 0 and A and B are parallel or anti parallel (d) when either A or B is zero.

Explanation- |A+B|=|A-B|
=
4|A|B|cos =0
|A|2+|B|2cos =0
A=0 or B=0 so . so A perpendicular B

(a) Magnitude of particle velocity (speed) remains constant.
(b) Particle velocity remains directed perpendicular to radius vector.
(c) Direction of acceleration keeps changing as particle moves.
(d) Angular momentum is constant in magnitude but direction keeps changing.

Answer- a, b, c
Explanation- (i) speed will constant throughout
(ii) velocity will be tangential in the direction of motion
(iii) centripetal acceleration will be a= v2/r, will always be towards centre of the circular path.
(iv) angul
Following are four different relations about displacement, velocity and acceleration for the motion of a particle in general. Choose the incorrect one (s) :
(a) Vav=
(b) Vav=
(c) Vav=
Following are four different relations about displacement, velocity and acceleration for the motion of a particle in general. Choose the incorrect one (s) :
(a) Vav=
(b) Vav=
(c) Vav=
This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Answer- a, c
Explanation – as we know average acceleration is aav=
But when acceleration is not uniform Vav is not equal to v1+v2/2
So we can write
= v2-v1 (t2-t1)
A particle slides down a frictionless parabolic (y + x2 ) track (A – B – C) starting from rest at point A (Fig. 4.2). Point B is at the vertex of parabola and point C is at a height less than that of point A. After C, the particle moves freely in air as a projectile. If the particle reaches highest point at P, then
(a) KE at P = KE at B
(b) Height at P = height at A
(c) Total energy at P = total energy at A
(d) Time of travel from A to B = time of travel from B to P.

Answer- c
Explanation– as the given track y=x2 is a frictionless track thus total energy will be same throughout the journey.
Hence total energy at A = total energy at P . at B the particle is having only Ke but at P some KE is convert
