Q.

List I describes four systems, each with two particles and in relative motion as shown in figures. List II gives possible magnitude of their relative velocities (in m s) at time s.

List-IList-II
(I) and are moving on a horizontal circle of radius 1 m with uniform angular speed rad s. The initial angular positions of and at time are and , respectively.
(P)
(II) Projectiles and are fired (in the same vertical plane) at and s respectively, with the same speed ms and at from the horizontal plane. The initial separation between and is large enough so that they do not collide ( ms).
(Q)
(III) Two harmonic oscillators and moving in the direction according to and respectively, starting from . Take m, s.
(R)
(IV) Particle is rotating in a horizontal circular path of radius 1 m on the plane, with constant angular speed rad s. Particle is moving up at a constant speed 3 ms in the vertical direction as shown in the figure. (Ignore gravity.)
(S)
 (T)

Which one of the following options is correct?

  1. A

    I R, II T, III P, IV S

  2. B

    I S, II P, III Q, IV R

  3. C

    I S, II T, III P, IV R

  4. D

    I T, II P, III R, IV S

Solution

(I) Both particles move on the same circle with the same speed m/s but their velocity vectors are perpendicular (since their positions differ by always). Relative speed = m/s. I S.

(II) Both projectiles experience the same gravitational acceleration, so the relative velocity is constant in time once both have launched (for s). At s (just after launches), velocities are: , and (oppositely directed horizontal component). Relative velocity , magnitude . II T.

(III) . Relative velocity . At : . III P.

(IV) 's speed is m/s (horizontal); 's speed is 3 m/s (vertical). Velocities are perpendicular. Relative speed . IV R.

The correct matching is option (C).
