Tamil Nadu 12th Computer Science Model Question Paper 1 English Medium

Question 26.
Write any six properties of vector product of two vectors?
Answer:
(I) The vector product of any two vectors is always another vector whose direction is perpendicular to the plane containing these two vectors, i.e., orthogonal to both the vectors \(\vec { A } \) and \(\vec { B } \), even though the vectors \(\vec { A } \) and \(\vec { B } \) may or may not be mutually orthogonal.

(II) The vector product of two vectors is not commutative, i.e., \(\vec { A } \) × \(\vec { B } \) ≠ \(\vec { B } \) × \(\vec { A } \). But, \(\vec { A } \) × \(\vec { B } \) = – \(\vec { B } \) × \(\vec { A } \) .
Here it is worthwhile to note that |\(\vec { A } \) × \(\vec { B } \)| = |\(\vec { B } \) × \(\vec { A } \)| = AB sin θ i.e., in the case of the product vectors \(\vec { A } \) × \(\vec { B } \) and \(\vec { B } \) × \(\vec { A } \), the magnitudes are equal but directions are opposite to each other.

(III) The vector product of two vectors will have maximum magnitude when sin θ = 1, i.e., θ = 90° i.e., when the vectors \(\vec { A } \) and \(\vec { B } \) are orthogonal to each other.
(\(\vec { A } \) × \(\vec { B } \))max = AB\(\hat { n } \)

(IV) The vector product of two non-zero vectors will be minimum when sin θ = 0, i.e., θ = 0° or θ = 180°
(\(\vec { A } \) × \(\vec { B } \))min = 0
i.e., the vector product of two non-zero vectors vanishes, if the vectors are either parallel or antiparallel.

(V) The self-cross product, i.e., product of a vector with itself is the null vector
\(\vec { A } \) × \(\vec { A } \) = AA sin 0° \(\hat { n } \) = \(\vec { 0 } \)
In physics the null vector \(\vec { 0 } \) is simply denoted as zero.

(VI) The self-vector products of unit vectors are thus zero.
\(\hat { i } \) × \(\hat { i } \) = \(\hat { j } \) × \(\hat { j } \) = \(\hat { k } \) × \(\hat { k } \) = 0

Tamil Nadu 12th Computer Science Model Question Paper 1 English Medium

Question 27.
Show that the pressure of the gas is equal to two third of mean kinetic energy per unit volume?
Answer:
The internal energy of the gas is given by
U = \(\frac{3}{2}\) NkT
The above equation can also be written as
U = \(\frac{3}{2}\) PV
Since PV = NkT
P = \(\frac{2}{3}\) \(\frac{U}{V}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) u
From the equation (1), we can state that the pressure of the gas is equal to two thirds of internal energy per unit volume or internal energy density (u = \(\frac{U}{V}\))
Writing pressure in terms of mean kinetic energy density using equation.
P = \(\frac{1}{3}\) nm\(\overline { V^{ 2 } } \) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) ρ\(\overline { V^{ 2 } } \)
where ρ = nm = mass density (Note n is number density)
Multiply and divide R.H.S of equation (2) by 2, we get
P = \(\frac{2}{3}\)(\(\frac{ρ}{2}\) \(\overline { V^{ 2 } } \))
P = \(\frac{2}{3}\) \(\overline { KE } \)
From the equation (3), pressure is equal to \(\frac{2}{3}\) of mean kinetic energy per unit volume.

Question 28.
Derive an expression for gravitational potential energy?
Answer:
The gravitational tbrce is a conservative force and hence we can define a gravitational potential energy associated with this conservative force field.
Two masses m1 and m2, are initially separated by a distance r’. Assuming m1 to be fixed in its position. work must be done on m2 to move the distance from r’ to r.
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 6
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 7
To move the mass m2, through an infinitesimal displacement d\(\vec { r } \) from \(\vec { r } \) to \(\vec { r } \) + d\(\vec { r } \) , work has to be done externally. This infinitesimal work is given by
dW = \(\vec { F } \)ext . d\(\vec { r } \) ……………….. (1)
The work is done against the gravitational force, therefore,
\(\vec { F } \)ext = \(\frac { Gm_{ 1 }m_{ 2 } }{ r^{ 2 } } \hat { r } \) ………………. (2)
Substituting equation (2) in (1), we get
dW = \(\frac { Gm_{ 1 }m_{ 2 } }{ r^{ 2 } } \hat { r } \).d\(\vec { r } \) ………………… (3)
d\(\vec { r } \) = dr \(\hat { r } \) ⇒ dW = \(\frac { Gm_{ 1 }m_{ 2 } }{ r^{ 2 } } \hat { r } \).(dr \(\hat { r } \))
\(\hat { r } \).\(\hat { r } \) = 1 (Since both are unit vectors)
∴ dW = \(\frac { Gm_{ 1 }m_{ 2 } }{ r^{ 2 } } \) dr …………….. (4)
Thus the total work done for displacing the particle from r’ to r is
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 8
This work done W gives the gravitational potential energy difference of the system of masses and m1 and m2 when the separation between them are r and r’ respectively.

Question 29.
A satellite orbiting the Earth in a circular orbit of radius 1600 km above the surface of the Earth. What is the acceleration experienced by satellite due to Earth’s gravitational force?
Answer:
g’ = g(1 – \(\frac { 2h }{ R_{ e } } \))
= g(\(\frac { 1-2\times 1600\times 10^{ 3 } }{ 6400\times 10^{ 3 } } \)) = g(1 – \(\frac{2}{4}\))
g’ = g (1 – \(\frac{1}{2}\)) = \(\frac{g}{2}\)
g’ = g (1- \(\frac{1}{2}\)) = \(\frac{g}{2}\)
g’ = \(\frac{8}{2}\) (or) g’ = \(\frac{9.8}{2}\) = 4.9ms-2

Tamil Nadu 12th Computer Science Model Question Paper 1 English Medium

Question 30.
Explain the v ariation of a g with latitude?
Answer:
When an object is on the surface fo the Earth, it experiences a centrifugal force that depends on the latitude of the object on Earth. If the Earth were not spinning, the force on the object would have been mg. However, the object experiences an additional centrifugal force due to spinning of the Earth.
This centrifugal force is given by mωR’.
\(\mathrm{OP}_{z}, \cos \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{PZ}}{\mathrm{OP}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}^{\prime}}{\mathrm{R}}\)
R’ = R cos λ
where λ is the latitude. The component of centrifugal acceleration experienced by the object in the direction opposite to g is
\(a_{\mathrm{PQ}}=\omega^{2} \mathrm{R} \cos \lambda=\omega^{2} \mathrm{R} \cos ^{2} \lambda\)
Since R’ = R cos λ
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 11
Therefore, g = g – ω2R cos2 λ
From the above expression, we can infer that at equator, λ = 0, g’ = g – ω2R. The acceleration due to gravity is minimum. At poles λ = 90; g’ = g, it is maximum. At the equator, g’ is minimum.

Question 31.
A bullet of mass 50g is fired from below into a suspended object of mass 450 g. The object rises through a height of 1.8 m with bullet remaining inside the object. Find the speed of the bullet. Take g = 10 ms-2
Answer:
m1 = 50 g = 0.05 kg; m2 = 450 g = 0.45 kg
The speed of the bullet is u1 The second body is at rest (u2 = 0). Let the common velocity of the bullet and the object after the bullet is embedded into the object is v.
v = \(\frac{m_{1} u_{1}+m_{2} u_{2}}{\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right)}\)
v = \(\frac{0.05 u_{1}+(0.45 \times 0)}{(0.05+0.45)}\) = \(\frac{0.05}{0.50}\)u1
The combined velocity is the initial velocity for the vertical upward motion of the combined bullet and the object. From second equation of motion,
v = \(\sqrt{2gh}\)
v = \(\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 1.8}\) = \(\sqrt{36}\)
v = 6 ms-1
Substituting this in the above equation, the value of u1 is
6 = \(\frac{0.05}{0.50}\)u1 or u1 = \(\frac{0.05}{0.50}\) × 6 = 10 × 6
u1 = 60ms-1

Question 34 (a)
Obtain an expression for the time period T of a simple pendulum. The time period T depends on

  1. Mass of the bob(m)
  2. Length of the pendulum (l)
  3. Acceleration due to gravity (g) at the place where the pendulum is suspended, (constant k = 2π)

Answer:
Example:
An expression for the time period T of a simple pendulum can be obtained by using this method as follows.
Let true period T depend upon

  1. Mass m of the bob
  2. Length l of the pendulum and
  3. Acceleration due to gravity g at the place where the pendulum is suspended. Let the constant involved is k = 2π.

Solution:
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 13
Here k is the dimensionless constant. Rewriting the above equation with dimensions.
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 14
Comparing the powers of M, L and T on both sides, a = 0, b + c = 0, -2c = 1
Solving for a, b and c ⇒ a = 0, b = 1/2, and c = -1/2
From the above equation
T = \(\mathrm{k} \mathrm{m}^{0} l^{1}=g^{-1}-2\)
T = \(k\left(\frac{1}{g}\right)^{1}\) = \(k \sqrt{1 / g}\)
Experimentally k = 2π, hence
T = \(2 \pi \sqrt{1 / g}\)

(b) Obtain an expression for the escape speed in detail?
Answer:
Consider an object of mass M on the surface of the Earth. When it is thrown up with an initial speed vi the initial total energy of the object is
\(\mathrm{E}_{i}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{M} v_{i}^{2}-\frac{\mathrm{GMM}_{\mathrm{E}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}}\) ………………. (1)
where, ME is the mass of the Earth and RE the radius of the Earth.
The term \(-\frac{\mathrm{GMM}_{\mathrm{E}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}}\) is the potential energy of the mass M.
When the object reaches a height far away from Earth and hence treated as approaching infinity, the gravitational potential energy becomes zero [U(∞) = 0] and the kinetic energy becomes zero as well. Therefore the final total energy of the object becomes zero. This is for minimum energy and for minimum speed to escape. Otherwise kinetic energy can be nonzero.
EF = 0
Ei = Ef ……………….. (2)
Substituting (1) in (2) we get,
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 15
Consider the escape speed, the minimum speed required by an object to escape Earth’s gravitational field, hence replace vi with ve i.e..
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 16

From equation (4) the escape speed depends on two factors acceleration due to gravity and radius of the Earth. It is completely independent of the mass of the object. By substituting the values of g (9.8 ms-2) and Re = 6400 km, the escape speed of the Earth is ve = 11.2 kms-1. The escape speed is independent of the direction in which the object is thrown. Irrespective of whether the object is thrown vertically up, radially outwards or tangentially it requires the same initial speed to escape Earth’s gravity.

Question 35 (a).
Derive an expression for loss of kinetic energy in perfect inelastic collision?
Answer:
In perfectly inelastic collision, the loss in kinetic energy during collision is transformed to another form of energy like sound, thermal, heat, light etc. Let KEi be the total kinetic energy before collision and KEf be the total kinetic energy after collision.
Total kinetic energy before collision,
\(\mathrm{KE}_{i}=\frac{1}{2} m_{1} u_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2} m_{2} u_{2}^{2}\) …………….. (1)
Total kinetic energy after collision
KEf = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (m1 + m2)v2 …………….. (2)
Then the loss of kinetic energy is
Loss of KE, ∆Q = KEf – KEi = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (m1 + m2)v2 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) m1 u12 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) m2 u22 ………………. (3)
Substituting equation v = \(\frac{m_{1} u_{1}+m_{2} u_{2}}{\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right)}\) in equation (3), and on simplying (expand v by using the algebra) (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab, we get
Loss of KE, ∆Q = \(\frac{1}{2}\) \(\left(\frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\right)\) (u1 – u2)2

(c) State parallel axis theorem?
Answer:
Parallel axis theorem: Parallel axis theorem states that the moment of inertia of a body about any axis is equal to the sum of its moment of inertia about a parallel axis through its center of mass and the product of the mass of the body and the square of the perpendicular distance between the two axes.

If IC is the moment of inertia of the body of mass M about an axis passing through the center of mass, then the moment of inertia I about a parallel axis at a distance d from it is given by the relation,
I = IC + Md2

(d) Calculate the moment of inertia of uniform circular disc of mass 500 G radius 10 cm about

  1. The diameter of the disc
  2. The axis, tangent to the disc and parallel to its diameter
  3. The axis through the centre of the disc and perpendicular to its plane

Answer:
1. Given Data: M = 500 g = 0.5 kg. R = 10 cm = 10 × 10-2 m
Moment of inertia of disc about diameter = Id = \(\frac{1}{4}\) MR2
Id = \(\frac{1}{4}\) × 0.5 × 0.1 kg m2 = 0.0125 kg m2

2. Apply a parallel axes theorem, moment of inertia of the disc about a tangent to the disc and parallel to the diameter of the disc
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) MR2 + MR2 = \(\frac{5}{4}\) MR2 = \(\frac{5}{4}\) × 0.5 × 1
= 0.0625 kgm2

3. Moment of inertia of the disc about an axis passing through the centre of disc and perpendicular to the plane of the disc
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) MR2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 0.5 × 0.1 = 0.025 kgm2

Question 36 (a).
Prove the law of conservation of linear momentum. Use it to find the recoil velocity of a gun when a bullet is fired from it?
Answer:
In nature, conservation laws play a very important role. The dynamics of motion of bodies can be analysed very effectively using conservation laws. There are three conservation laws in mechanics. Conservation of total energy, conservation of total linear momentum, and conservation of angular momentum. By combining Newton’s second and third laws, we can derive the law of conservation of total linear momentum.

When two particles interact with each other, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other. The particle 1 exerts force \(\vec { F } \)12 on particle 2 and particle 2 exerts an exactly equal and opposite force \(\vec { F } \)12 on particle 1 according to Newton’s third law.
\(\vec { F } \)21 = –\(\vec { F } \)12 …………… (1)
In terms of momentum of particles, the force on each particle (Newton’s second law) can be written as
\(\vec { F } \)12 = \(\frac{d \bar{p}_{1}}{d t}\) and \(\vec { F } \)21 = \(\frac{d \vec{p}_{2}}{d t}\) ……………… (2)

Here \(\vec { P } \)1 is the momentum of particle 1 which changes due to the force \(\vec { F } \)12 exerted by particle 2. Further \(\vec { P } \)2 is the momentum of particle 2. This changes due to \(\vec { F } \)21 exerted by particle 1.
Substitute equation (2) in equation (1)
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 18

It implies that \(\vec { P } \)1 + \(\vec { P } \)2 = (constant vector always)

\(\vec { P } \)1 + \(\vec { P } \)2 is the total linear momentum of the two particles ( \(\vec { P } \)tot = \(\vec { P } \)1 + \(\vec { P } \)2). It is also called as total linear momentum of the system. Flere, the two particles constitute the system. From this result, the law of conservation of linear momentum can be stated as follows.

If there are no external forces acting on the system, then the total linear momentum of the system ( \(\vec { P } \)tot) is always a constant vector. In other words, the total linear momentum of the system is conserved in time. Here the word ‘conserve’ means that \(\vec { P } \)1 and \(\vec { P } \)2 can vary,
in such a way that \(\vec { P } \)1 + \(\vec { P } \)2 is a constant vector.

The forces \(\vec { F } \)12 and \(\vec { F } \)12 are called the internal forces of the system, because they act only between the two particles. There is no external force acting on the two particles from outside. In such a case the total linear momentum of the system is a constant vector or is conserved.

To find the recoil velocity of a gun when a bullet is fired from it:
Consider the firing of a gun. Here the system is Gun + bullet. Initially the gun and bullet are at rest, hence the total linear momentum of the system is zero. Let \(\vec { P } \)1 be the momentum of the bullet and \(\vec { P } \)2 the momentum of the gun before firing. Since initially both are at rest.
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 19
\(\vec { P } \)1 = 0, \(\vec { P } \)2 = 0.

Total momentum before firing the gun is zero, \(\vec { P } \)1 + \(\vec { P } \)2 = 0

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, total linear momemtum has to be zero after the firing also.

When the gun is fired, a force is exerted by the gun on the bullet in forward direction. Now the momentum of the bullet changes from \(\vec { P } \)1 + \(\vec { P } \)2. To conserve the total linear momentum of the system, the momentum of the gun must also change from \(\vec { P } \)2 to \(\vec { P } \)2. Due to the conservation of linear momentum, \(\vec { P } \)1+ \(\vec { P } \)2‘= 0. It implies that \(\vec { P } \)1‘ = –\(\vec { P } \)2 the momentum of the gun is exactly equal, but in the opposite direction to the momentum of the bullet. This is the reason after firing, the gun suddenly moves backward with the momentum \(\vec { P } \)2. It is called ‘recoil momentum’. This is an example of conservation of total linear momentum.

(b) Derive an expression for escape speed?
Answer:
Consider an object of mass M on the surface of the Earth. When it is thrown up with an initial speed v;, the initial total energy of the object is
\(E_{i}=\frac{1}{2} M v_{i}^{2}-\frac{G M M_{E}}{R_{E}}\) ………………. (1)
where, ME is the mass of the Earth and RE the radius of the Earth. The term \(-\frac{\mathrm{GMM}_{\mathrm{E}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}}\) is the potential energy of the mass M.

When the object reaches a height far away from Earth and hence treated as approaching infinity, the gravitational potential energy becomes zero [U(∞) = 0] and the kinetic energy becomes zero as well. Therefore the final total energy of the object becomes zero. This is for minimum energy and for minimum speed to escape. Otherwise kinetic energy can be nonzero.
Ef = 0

According to the law of energy conservation,
Ei – Ef = 0 …………….. (2)

Substituting (1) in (2) we get,
\(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{M} v_{i}^{2}-\frac{\mathrm{GMM}_{\mathrm{E}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{F}}}=0\)
\(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{M} v_{i}^{2}=\frac{\mathrm{GMM}_{\mathrm{E}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}}\) …………….. (3)

Consider the escape speed, the minimum speed required by an object to escape Earth’s gravitational field, hence replace vi with ve, i.e.,
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 20

From equation (4) the escape speed depends on two factors acceleration due to gravity and radius of the Earth. It is completely independent of the mass of the object. By substituting the values of g (9.8 ms-2) and Re = 6400 km, the escape speed of the Earth is ve = 11.2 kms-1. The escape speed is independent of the direction in which the object is thrown. Irrespective of whether the object is thrown vertically up, radially outwards or tangentially it requires the same initial speed to escape Earth’s gravity.

Question 37 (a).
Explain in detail Newton’s law of cooling?
Answer:
Newton’s law of cooling: Newton’s law of cooling states that the rate of loss of heat of a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperature between that body and its surroundings.
\(\frac{dQ}{dt}\) ∝ (T – Ts) …………….. (1)

The negative sign indicates that the quantity of heat lost by liquid goes on decreasing with time. Where,

T = Temperature of the object
Ts = Temperature of the surrounding

From the graph in figure it is clear that the rate of cooling is high initially and decreases with falling temperature.

Let us consider an object of mass m and specific heat capacity s at temperature T. Let Ts be the temperature of the surroundings. If the temperature falls by a small amount of T in time dt, then the amount of heat lost is,
dQ = msdT ………………. (2)
Dividing both sides of equation (2) by dt
\(\frac{dQ}{dt}\) = \(\frac{msdT}{dt}\) ……………….. (3)
From Newton’s of cooling
\(\frac{dQ}{dt}\) ∝ (T – Ts)
\(\frac{dQ}{dt}\) = -a(T – Ts) ……………….. (4)

(b) Derive an expression for pressure exerted by the gas on the wall of the container?
Answer:
Expression for pressure exerted by a gas:
Consider a monoatomic gas of N molecules each having a mass m inside a cubical container of side l.
The molecules of the gas are in random motion. They collide with each other and also with the walls of the container. As the collisions are elastic in nature, there is no loss of energy, but a change in momentum occurs.

Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 24

The molecules of the gas exert pressure on the walls of the container due to collision on it. During each collision. the molecules impart certain momentum to the wall. Due to transfer of momentum, the walls experience a continuous force. The force experienced per unit area of the walls of the container determines the pressure exerted by the gas. It is essential to determine the total momentum transferred by the molecules in a short interval of time.

A molecule of mass in moving with a velocity \(\vec { v } \) having components (vx vy, vz) hits the right side wall. Since we have assumed that the collision is elastic, the particle rebounds with sanie speed and its x-component is reversed. This is shown in the figure. The components of velocity of the molecule after collision are (-vx, vy, vz)
The x-component of momentum of the molecule bêfore collision = mvx
The x-component of momentum of the molecule after collision = -mvx
The change in momentum of the molecule in x direction
= Final momentum – initial momentum = -mvx – mvx = -2mvx
According to law of conservation of linear momentum, the change in momentum of the wall = 2mvx

The number of molecules hitting the right side wall in a small interval of time ∆t.

The molecules within the distance of vx ∆t from the right side wall and moving towards the right will hit the wall in the time interval &. The number of molecules that will hit the right side wall in a time interval ∆t is equal to the product of volume (Avx∆t) and number density of the molecules n). Here A is area of the wall and ii is number of molecules per
unit volume \(\frac{N}{V}\) We have assumed that the number density is the same throughout the cube.

Not all the n molecules will move to the right, therefore on an average only half of the n molecules move to the right and the other half moves towards left side.

Te no.of molecules that hit the right side wall in a time interval ∆t

Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 25

= \(\frac{n}{2} \mathrm{A} v_{x} \Delta t\) ……………….. (1)
In the same interval of time ∆t, the total momentum transferred by the molecules
\(\Delta \mathrm{P}=\frac{n}{2} \mathrm{A} v_{x} \Delta t \times 2 m v_{x}=\mathrm{A} v_{x}^{2} m n \Delta t\) ……………….. (2)

From Newton’s second law, the change in momentum in a small interval of time gives rise to force.
The force exerted by the molecules on the wall (in magnitude)

F = \(\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=n m \mathrm{A} v_{x}^{2}\) ……………….. (3)
Pressure P = force divided by the area of the wall

P = \(\frac{F}{A}\) = nmv2x …………………. (4)
Since all the molecules are moving completely in random manner, they do not have same speed. So we can replace the term v2x by the average \(\bar{v}_{x}^{2}\) in equation (4)

P = nm\(\bar{v}_{x}^{2}\) ………………… (5)

Since the gas is assumed to move in random direction, it has no preferred direction of motion (the effect of gravity on the molecules is neglected). It implies that the molecule has same average speed in all the three direction. So, \(\bar{v}_{x}^{2}\) = \(\bar{v}_{y}^{2}\) = \(\bar{v}_{z}^{2}\). The mean square speed is written as

\(\bar{v}^{2}\) = \(\bar{v}_{x}^{2}\) + \(\bar{v}_{y}^{2}\) + \(\bar{v}_{z}^{2}\) = 3\(\bar{v}_{x}^{2}\)
\(\bar{v}_{x}^{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) \(\bar{v}^{2}\)
Using this in equation (5), we get
P = \(\frac{1}{3}\)nm \(\bar{v}^{2}\) or P = \(\frac{1}{3}\) \(\frac{N}{V}\) m\(\bar{v}^{2}\) as [n = \(\frac{N}{V}\)] ……………… (6)

where, F and θ are variables. The total work done for a displacement from initial position ri to final position rf is given by the relation,
W = \(\int_{r_{i}}^{r_{f}} d \mathrm{W}=\int_{r_{i}}^{r_{f}} \mathrm{F} \cos \theta d r\) ………………. (4)

A graphical representation of the work done by a variable force is shown in figure given below. The area under the graph is the work done by the variable force.

Expression for power and velocity

The work done by a force \(\vec { F } \) for a displacement \(\bar { dr } \) is
W = ∫\(\vec { F } \).\(\vec { dr } \) ……………. (1)
Left hand side of the equation (1) can be written as
W = ∫dW = ∫\(\frac{dW}{dt}\) (multiplied and divided by dt) ………………… (2)
Since, velocity is \(\vec { v } \) = \(\frac{d \vec{r}}{d t}\); \(\vec { dr } \) = \(\vec { v } \) dt. Right hand side of the equation (I) can be written as
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 29
Substituting equation (2) and equation (3) in equation (1), we get
Tamil Nadu 11th Physics Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 30
This relation is true for any arbitrary value of di. This implies that the term within the bracket must be equal to zero, i.e.,
\(\frac{dW}{dt}\) – \(\vec { F } \).\(\vec { v } \) = 0 Or \(\frac{dW}{dt}\) = \(\vec { F } \).\(\vec { v } \)
Hence power P = \(\vec { F } \).\(\vec { v } \)
