A cyclist speeding at

18 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~h}^{-1}

on a level road takes a sharp circular turn of radius

3 \mathrm{~m}

without reducing the speed and without bending towards the centre of the circular path. The coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the road is 0.1. Will the cyclist slip while taking the turn?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}

Option A (

5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}

) is correct because the cyclist will slip since the actual speed is greater than the maximum safe speed calculated using the coefficient of static friction.

A ball throwing cannon, lifts ball and throws with

72 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}

Speed. If balls are raised upto

10 \mathrm{~m}

. then find Input power of cannon if it lifts 8 balls per minute and its efficiency is

80 \%

. Mass of each ball is

1 \mathrm{~kg}

. Assertion:When a particle moves in a circle with a uniform speed its acceleration is constant but the velocity changes.
Reason: Angular displacement is not an axial vector. A body of mass

m

thrown vertically upwards attains a maximum height

h

. As what height will its kinetic energy be

75 \%

of its initial value? Assertion: Centripetal force does no work.

Reason: Force and displacement are perpendicular to each other. Statement I: Both stretched and compressed springs possess potential energy.

Statement II: Work done against restoring force is stored as potential energy. A bullet of mass

m

moving at a speed

v

hits a ball of mass

M

kept at rest. A small part having mass

m^{\prime}

breaks from the ball and sticks to the bullet. The remaining ball is found to move at a speed

v_1

in the direction of the bullet. Find the velocity of the bullet after the collision.
