) My response to ID2104:
This is because
time is equal to distance divided by speed and not displacement divided by speed.
When ball is thrown vertically upwards then first the ball travels upward and then downwards therefore
time taken in this case is the most. When the ball is thrown vertically downwards and horizontally, then
though the distance to be covered is same but then also there is a difference in their initial speeds in
vertically downward direction. As the initial speed in the vertically downward direction is zero in the
third case therefore it will take more time then the second case.

3.) My response to ID7266:

One of the conditions for the motion to be an SHM is that the restoring force sould be directed towards
the equilibrium position and the restoring force should be directly propotional to the displacement. In
this case, the restoring force is mgsin(theta) which is a constant and hence is not directly propotional to
the displacement. Therefore the motion is not an SHM.

Please read from your textbook or google what is Perpendicular Axis Theorem. According to this
theorem:
Moment of Inertia along Z direction(Iz) = Moment of Inertia along X direction(Ix) + Moment of Inertia
along Y direction(Iy)

I2 can be regarded as moment of Inertia in y-direction and I4 as moment of Inertia in

x-direction(because both of them are at 90 deg to each other), therefore Iz = I2 + I3.

In the figure:

I3 can be regarded as moment of Inertia in y-direction and I1 as moment of Inertia

in x-direction(because both of them are also at 90 deg to each other), therefore Iz = I3 + I1

In the same figure:

You are absoluetly right that Moment of Inertia depends on the orientation of the body and therefore I1
is not equal to I2 and I3 is not equal to I4, BUT I1 + I3 = I2 + I4

LSF means Lower Side Frequency also known as Lower Side Band(LSB) frequency and USF means Upper

Side Frequency also known as Upper Side Band (USB)frequency. The amplitude of both of these is given
by the formula: m *(A/2) where m is modulation index and A is the amplitude of the unmodulated
carrier wave. In this case m is 2/10 or 0.2 and A is 10 and therefore answer is 1mV.

6.) My response to ID75342:

Go through PASCALS LAW. It says that pressure exerted anywhere in a liquid is transmitted equally in all
directions. Therefore, pressure exerted on piston B should be equal to pressure experience by piston A.
Now as Pressure is equal to Force divided by Area, therefore for pressure to be same at A and B, the
force that is exerted on them will be inversely dependent on their areas. As the areas are in ratio A:B =
na:1a therefore Force on them will be in the ratio of A:B = 1F:nF

8.) My response to ID3347:

To know why it is divided by 2, you have to first know that this result is reached by integrating the work
done and putting the limits from zero to L(length of chain).
To show the calculations:
Let

C= M/L (C is mass per unit length of the chain, M is mass of chain, L is length of chain)

Work Done(W) = Integral of( F*dx )

F = m*g (here m varies as we pick one end of the chain and take it upwards)
m = C*x (here x is the length of chain at any particular time when one of its end is going up)
therefore:
W = Integral of(m*g*dx) = Integral of(C*x*g*dx)
W = C*g*Integral of(x*dx) (As C and g are constants therefore they are brought out of integration)
W = (M/L)*g*[(x^2)/2]
(Integral of(x*dx) is : [square of(x)]/2

and

now put limits from 0 to L which will give:)

W= (M/L)*g*[(L^2)/2] = (M*g*L)/2

Therefore, because of integration it is divided by 2.

9.) My response to ID21109:

Copper and steel are two different materials, therefore, their youngs modulus is different. Youngs
Modulus of any substance is equal to stress on that substance divided by strain produced in it. The stress
is same on both of them (because they both have same area of cross section and same force is applied
on them), therefore strain produced in them has to be different so as to satisfy the above mentioned
equation: Y = Stress/Strain.

10.) My response to ID8036:

When we boil water at 100 deg C then the heat supplied to it will only be used to convert water to steam
and will not increase the temperature of water. This is because heat is a form of energy and temperature
is just a measure of average kinetic energy of molecules. Therefore, in normal cases when heat is given
to a substance it increases the kinetic energy of its molecules and also its temperature but when the
same heat is given to a substance to change its state from solid to liquid or from liquid to solid, this same
heat energy is used to overcome the inter moleculer forces and therefore does not increase its
temperature.
