At \(t=0\), a body of mass \(100\) g starts moving under the influence of a force \((5\hat{i}+10\hat{j})\) N. After \(2\) s its position is \((2x\hat{i}+5y\hat{j})\) m. The ratio \(x:y\) is ______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(5:4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Mass \(m = 100 \text{ g} = 0.1 \text{ kg}\)
Force \(\vec{F} = 5\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} \text{ N}\)
Acceleration \(\vec{a} = \dfrac{\vec{F}}{m} = \dfrac{5\hat{i} + 10\hat{j}}{0.1} = 50\hat{i} + 100\hat{j} \text{ m/s}^2\)
Since the body starts from rest, initial velocity \(\vec{u} = 0\).
Position after \(t = 2 \text{ s}\) is given by \(\vec{r} = \vec{u}t + \dfrac{1}{2}\vec{a}t^2\)
\(\vec{r} = \dfrac{1}{2}(50\hat{i} + 100\hat{j})(2)^2 = 100\hat{i} + 200\hat{j} \text{ m}\)
Comparing with the given position \(\vec{r} = 2x\hat{i} + 5y\hat{j}\):
\(2x = 100 \Rightarrow x = 50\)
\(5y = 200 \Rightarrow y = 40\)
The ratio \(x:y = 50:40 = 5:4\)
Answer: \(5:4\)
Force \(\vec{F} = 5\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} \text{ N}\)
Acceleration \(\vec{a} = \dfrac{\vec{F}}{m} = \dfrac{5\hat{i} + 10\hat{j}}{0.1} = 50\hat{i} + 100\hat{j} \text{ m/s}^2\)
Since the body starts from rest, initial velocity \(\vec{u} = 0\).
Position after \(t = 2 \text{ s}\) is given by \(\vec{r} = \vec{u}t + \dfrac{1}{2}\vec{a}t^2\)
\(\vec{r} = \dfrac{1}{2}(50\hat{i} + 100\hat{j})(2)^2 = 100\hat{i} + 200\hat{j} \text{ m}\)
Comparing with the given position \(\vec{r} = 2x\hat{i} + 5y\hat{j}\):
\(2x = 100 \Rightarrow x = 50\)
\(5y = 200 \Rightarrow y = 40\)
The ratio \(x:y = 50:40 = 5:4\)
Answer: \(5:4\)
