NEET 2016 Phase 2 · PhysicsImpulsePrevious Year Question

A rigid ball of mass m strikes a rigid wall at 60° and gets reflected without loss of speed, as shown in the figure. The value of the impulse imparted by the wall on the ball is:

Answer: (A) mV. Correct Answer (A) Solution: Only the velocity component perpendicular to the wall reverses; the parallel component is unchanged.

NEET 2016 Phase 2 Physics question — A rigid ball of mass m strikes a rigid wall at 60° and gets reflected without loss of…
  1. A.mV
  2. B.2mV
  3. C.mV/2
  4. D.mV/3

Correct Answer

(A) mV

Solution & Explanation

Correct Answer (A) Solution: Only the velocity component perpendicular to the wall reverses; the parallel component is unchanged. From the figure that normal component is V cos60°. Impulse = change in normal momentum = 2mV cos60° = 2mV(½) = mV.

PhysA ball of mass 0.5 kg is dropped from a height of 40 m. It hits the ground and rebounds to a height of 10 m. The impulse imparted to the ball during its collision with the ground is (g = 9.8 m/s²):PhysA 1 kg object strikes a wall with a velocity of 1 m/s at an angle of 60° with the wall and reflects at the same angle. If it remains in contact with the wall for 0.1 s, the force exerted on the wall is:PhysA ball of mass 0.15 kg is dropped from a height of 10 m, strikes the ground and rebounds to the same height. The magnitude of the impulse imparted to the ball is nearly (g = 10 m/s²):PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:
