Notes for some specific questions:


1 – Ans: B. Both vectors in A and both scalars in C and D.


2 - Ans: B. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 520 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 101 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/04/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-101.html}


3 – Ans: A. Cannot be C since the 2 forces are not equal, so the angle of the resultant cannot be 45 degrees.


5 - Ans: C. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 834 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 166 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/06/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-166.html}


6 - Ans: B. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 283 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 47 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/01/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-47.html}





8 - Ans: B.


9 – Ans: D. 
A strong wind of speed33 m s-1 blows against a wall. The density of the air is1.2 kg m-3. The wall has an area of 12 m2 at right angles to the wind velocity.



11 - Ans: D. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 829 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 165 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/06/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-165.html}



12 – Ans: A. Weight is always downward. Since the vehicle is at rest, only the weight will have a component along the slope that will cause the vehicle to go downwards. So, friction, a force which opposes motion would be in a direction opposite to the component of the weight along the slope such that the vertical component of friction would be in a direction opposite to the weight (upward). The normal reaction will be opposite to the other component of the weight.



13 – Ans: B.

30 - Ans: D. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 1124 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 243 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2016/10/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-243.html}



32 – Ans: C. Resistance of a copper wire = ρL/A = (1.7x10-8)x2000 / (π(0.5x0.51x10-3)2)  = 166Ω. Since wires are parallel (similar to resistors in parallel), Resistance of cable = (12(1/166))-1 = 14 Ω.

39 – Ans: B. Roughly the alpha particle has a mass of 4u, so 4 x 1.66x10-27kg. This gives 6.6x10-27kg or 10-26 when rounded up.

  4. why did you us 33ms to find the mass? thye didmt say its length way 33.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Which question is it? Did you read it correctly because I don't think I would use a value not given in the question

      Delete
    2. they didnt say the length is 33m

      Delete
    3. It's the speed of the wind. maybe I missed this detail:
      {mass per second = (area x speed) x density = (volume per second) x [mass / volume] = mass per second}

      Read the explanations carefully, think and at least try to understand on your own first.

  11. plz add solution for question 30

  12. for q13, explanation on C, how will the mass of a body be changing? and if the mass is changing, isn't the momentum should be changing too? since momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. we usually do not consider the mass of the fuel but this actually decreases. so the momentum would change and so will the force, even if the speed is constant.

  13. can you please explain what formula to use in Q9 p12 j2013

    ReplyDelete
  14. for question 20 why did we assume the total pressure the same?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. We have not assumed that the pressure is the same.

      We have compared the pressure in X with the pressure P and the pressure in Y with pressure P since pressure P is the quantity that is present in both equations.
