1. COMPULSORY SECTION A Mechnics () A circus performer spins hoop of rdius R nd mss M round their wrist. Show tht the moment of inerti of this hoop is given by I = 2MR 2 You should derive ny moment of inerti bout the centre of mss reltionships you use. (b) A womn weighing 600 N steps on bthroom scle tht contins stiff spring. In equilibrium, the spring is compressed 1.0 cm under her weight. Find the force constnt of the spring nd the totl work done on it during the compression. [6] (c) The steroid Plls hs n orbitl period of 4.62 yers, mss of 2.11 10 20 kg nd n orbitl eccentricity of 0.233. Find the semi-mjor xis of its orbit. [6] [8] 2. () Show tht the rnge of projectile is given by R = (v2 sin 2θ) 0, g where v 0 nd θ re the initil velocity nd firing ngle respectively. [6] (b) Romeo wnts to drop love letter t the feet of Juliet by firing it over the grden wll using slingshot. If the slingshot fires the letter (in smll rigid continer) t n ngle of 25 to the horizontl, wht rnge of velocities could Romeo fire the letter t so tht it psses through the 1.0 metre tll window, the bse of which is locted 5.0 metres from the ground nd Romeo is 18 metres wy? [10] (c) After getting her ttention, Juliet gives Romeo chllenge. If he cn hit n pple dropped from her window using pebble in his slingshot, then Juliet will run wy with him. If the slingshot is fired t the sme time the pple is dropped should Romeo im bove, below or t the initil position of the pple? Explin your resoning nd stte ny ssumptions you hve mde. [4] CONTINUED 2
3. () A block is suspended from light, inextensible cble, nd bullet is fired t nd becomes embedded in the block. Using bllistic pendulum setup, show tht the initil velocity of bullet v i is given by v i = 1 + M 2gh, m where m nd M re the msses of the bullet nd pendulum block respectively, nd h is the mximum height the pendulum block reches. [8] (b) A tired scientist believes tht initil velocity of the bullet is ctully given by v i = 1 + M v f, m where v f is the velocity of the bullet-block system fter impct. Wht ssumptions hve they mde to derive this eqution? Explin whether these ssumptions re vlid or not. [6] (c) Insted of using bllistic pendulum, bullet with velocity v = 100 m/s is fired t sttionry solid bll resting on surfce. If the bullet deflects t n ngle of 30 to its originl pth nd the bll is nine times more mssive thn the bullet, wht is the velocity of the bll fter the impct? You should ssume tht the bll only moves horizontlly nd does not bounce or lift from the surfce. [6] TURN OVER 3
SECTION B Oscilltions nd Wves 4. COMPULSORY Consider 2 kg mss suspended on spring where the displcement (in cm) s function of time (in seconds) is given by x(t) = Acos(ωt φ), where A = 8.5 cm, ω = 4.2 rd s 1 nd φ = 2.5 rd. () Clculte the time for one complete vibrtion. [2] (b) Find the force constnt of the spring. [4] (c) Find the mximum speed of the mss. [2] (d) Clculte the mximum force on the mss nd the mximum kinetic energy. [4] (e) Find the position, speed nd ccelertion of the mss t t = 1.0 nd the force on the mss t tht time. (f) Stte one ssumption mde in order for your clcultions to be correct. [2] [6] 5. Consider single violin string, comprising thin tut wire fixed t both ends. When oscillting in the third hrmonic its shpe is described by the stnding wve eqution y(x, t) = Asin(k x) sin(ω t), where A = 8.0 cm, k = 0.040 rd cm 1 nd ω = 50 rd s 1. () Drw sketch to illustrte the form of the stnding wve pttern. [2] (b) Wht is the mplitude of the two trvelling wves tht together form the stnding wve? (c) Clculte the length of the string. [4] (d) Find the period, frequency, wvelength nd speed of the trvelling wve. [4] (e) Write n eqution for the trnsverse speed of point on the string nd hence clculte the mximum trnsverse speed.
