Question
A particle is in linear simple harmonic motion between two points A and B, 10cm apart. Take the direction from A to B as positive direction and give the signs of velocity and acceleration on the particle when it is:
  1. At the end B.
  2. At 3cm away from A going towards B.
✓

Answer



  1. At the end B velocity is zero. Here acceleration and force are negative as they are directed along BR i.e., along negative direction.
  2. At 3cm away from A going towards B, the particle is at R, with a tendency to move along RP which is positive direction, here velocity, acceleration are all positive.

One end of a rod of length 20cm is inserted in a furnace at 800K The sides of the rod are covered with an insulating material and the other end emits radiation like a blackbody. The temperature of this end is 750K in the steady state. The temperature of the surrounding air is 300K. Assuming radiation to be the only important mode of energy transfer between the surrounding and the open end of the rod, find the thermal conductivity of the rod. Stefan constant $\sigma=6.0\times10^{-8}\text{Wm}^{-2}\text{K}^{-4}.$

Consider Galileo's method of measuring the speed of light using two lanterns. To get an accuracy of about 10%, the time taken by the experimenter in closing or opening the shutter should be about one tenth of the time taken by the light in going from one experimenter to the other. Assume that it takes $\frac{1}{100}$ second for an experimenter to close or open the shutter. How far should the two experimenters be to get a 10% accuracy? What are the difficulties in having this separation?
