Subjective Type Questions
Q1.A locomotive

draws a train of mass 400 tonnes, including its own mass, ona level ground with
a uniform acceleration, until it acquires a velocity of 54 km.p.h in 5 minutes. If the frictional
resistance is 40 newtons per tonne of mass and the air resistance varieswith the square of the
velocity, find the power of the engine. Take air resistance as 500 newtonsat 18 km.p.h.
Q2. An engine of mass 50 tonnes pulls a train of mass 300 tonnes up an incline of 1 in 100. The
train starts from rest and moves with a constant acceleration against a total resistance of 50
newtons per tonnes. If the train attains a speed of 36 km.p.h. in a distance of 1 kilometre, find
power of the engine. Also find tension in the coupling between the engine and train.
Q3. Three perfectly elastic balls A, B and C of masses 2 kg, 4 kg and 8 kg movein the same
direction with velocities of 4 m/s, 1m/s and 0.75 m/s respectively. If the ball A impingeswith the
ball B, which in turn, impinges with the ball C, prove that the balls A and B will be broughtto
rest by the impacts.
Q4.

(i) Prove work energy theorem.

(ii) Prove impulse momentum theorem.

Q5. Derive expressions for the loss of kinetic energy in inelastic collision.
Q.6 Write a short note on the Angular impulse and momentum.
Q.7 Write a short note on the conservation of angular momentum and conservation of energy.
Q.8 Write a detailed note on Mechanical Energy.
