6.15 Given, the volume of the tank, V = 30 m3

Time required to fill the tank, t = 15 min = 900 s

Height of the tank above the ground, h = 40 m

The efficiency of the pump? = 30%

The density of water,  ?  = 103 kg/ m3

Now, the mass of the water pumped, m = ? V = 30 *103 kg = 3 *104 kg

Power consumed = W/t = mgh/t = 3 *104*9.8* 40 / 900 = 13066 W

P input = Power consumed /? = 43.6 kW

6.14 Momentum is always conserved for an elastic or inelastic collision.

The molecule's initial velocity, u = final velocity v = 200 m/s

Initial kinetic energy = (1/2)m u2

Final kinetic energy = (1/2)m v2 = (1/2)m u2

Therefore, kinetic energy is also conserved

6.13 The radius of the rain drop = 2 mm = 2 *10-3 m

The height of drop, s = 500 m

Density of water,  ?  = 103 kg/ m3

Mass of the rain drop = volume *density = (4/3) ? r3 *?  = 3.35 *10-5 kg

The gravitational force on the raindrop, F = mg = 3.28 *10-4 N

Work done by the gravity on the drop is = mgs where s = 250 m

Work done = 0.082 J

The work done during the second half will remain same.

The total energy of the raindrop will be conserved during the motion.

Total energy at the top

E1 = mgh where h = 500 m, E1 = 0.164 J

Due to resistive force, the energy of the drop on reaching the ground

E2 = (1/2)mv2 where

6.12 Electron mass, me = 9.11*10-31 kg

Proton mass, madhya pradesh = 1.67*10–27 kg

Electron's kinetic energy = 10 keV = 10 * 103 * 1.60 *10–19 J = 1.60 *10–15 J

Proton's kinetic energy = 100 keV = 100 *103 * 1.60 *10–19 J = 1.60 *10–14 J

The electron kinetic energy is given by Eke = (1/2)m ve2 where ve is the velocity of electron

ve = ?   { (2 * Eke )/m} = 5.92 *107 m/s

The velocity of proton vp = ?   { (2 * Pke )/m} = 4.37 *106 m/s

The speed ratio = ve / vp = 13.5

6.11: Force exerted on the body, F =?  i? +2j?  +3 k?  N

Displacement, s = 4 km

Work done, W = F.s

= (?  i? +2j?  +3 k? ). (4k? )

= 0+0-3 *4

= 12 J

6.10 Power is given by the relation

P = Fv = mav = mv dvdt = constant ( say, k)

vdv = kmdt

v22=kmt

v = 2ktm

For displacement x of the body, we have:

v = dxdt = 2kmt1/2

dx = k' t1/2 dt where k' = 2k3 = constant

On integrating both sides, we get

x = 23k't3/2

Therefore x ? t3/2

6.9 Let us assume

Body mass = m

Acceleration = a

According to Newton's 2nd law F = MA (constant)

We know a = dv/dt = constant. Hence dv = dt * constant

On integrating, v = t + constant

The relation of power is given by P = F *v

We have v=u+at

Hence,  P=F* (u+at)

ma (u+at)

mau+ma2t

Therefore P ? t

6.8 (a) In elastic collision, the initial and final kinetic energy is equal. When the two balls collide, there is no conservation of kinetic energy; it gets converted into potential energy.

 

(b) The total linear momentum is conserved in an elastic collision.

 

(c) In case of inelastic condition in case (a), there will be loss of kinetic energy but in case of (b), the total linear momentum will be conserved in inelastic collision also.

 

(d) It is an elastic collision as the forces involves are conservative forces.

6.7  (a) False. The total momentum and energy is conserved, not the individual.

 

(b) False. External forces can change the energy of a body.

 

(c) False. Only work done by conservative force over a closed loop is zero.

 

(d) True. In an inelastic collision, the final velocity reduces, resulting in loss of the initial kinetic energy.

6.6 (a) When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the body gets displaced in the direction of the force, it moves towards the centre of the force, thus resulting in decrease of potential energy.

 

(b) When the work done by a body against friction, it reduces its velocity. Hence kinetic energy decreases.

 

(c) The momentum cannot be changed by the internal forces on the system; the change of momentum is proportional to the external force.

 

(d) The total linear momentum does not change in an elastic collision.
