The effect of a force on the body is measured only in terms of its ________.
If the momentum of a body is doubled, the kinetic energy is _____.
The momentum of a body, P = mv, where m is the mass of the particle, and v is the velocity of the particle.
Momentum is directly proportional to velocity.
The kinetic energy of a particle is given by the equation, KE = (1/2)mv2.
KE = (1/2)mv2
When the momentum of a body is doubled, then the velocity will be doubled.
⇒ KE = (1/2) × m × (2v)2 = 4 × (1/2)mv2
Hence, If the momentum of a body is doubled, the kinetic energy becomes 4 times.
A car of mass 300 kg is travelling along a horizontal road with a speed of 10m/s. The acceleration of car is 4/3 m/s2 . A resistive force of 100 N is opposing its motion. Find the power generated by the engine of the car in this case.
To find the Power in this case, we must apply the following formula:
P= Fnet . v
We first need to find out the net force applied on the car.
Fnet = mass × acceleration + resistive force
= 300 × 4/3 + 100
= 400 + 100 = 500 N
Now, P= 500 × 10 = 5000 W = 5 kW

Let the number of boys and girls be 2a and 3a respectively. Where a is any constant
Given, 30% of the boys and 40% of the girls are scholarship holders.
Total number of boys who are not getting scholarship = 70% of 2a = 1.4a
Total number of girls who are not getting scholarship = 60% of 3a = 1.8a
Total number of students not getting scholarship = 1.4a + 1.8a = 3.2a
% of students not getting the scholarship =
∴ % of students not getting scholarship = 64%
If the price of sugar is raised by 25%, find by how much percent a householder must reduce his consumption of sugar so as not to increase his expenditure?
Let the initial consumption of sugar be Y units and the initial price of sugar per kg be Rs. X. Thus,
The initial expenditure of household = X × Y
Given: the price of sugar increased by 25%. Thus,
⇒New price of sugar per kg =
= 1.25X
Let the new consumption to keep the expenditure same be Y’ units. Hence,
New expenditure = 1.25X × Y’
Since the expenditures are same,
∴ XY = 1.25XY’
⇒ Y = 1.25Y’
Also, Reduction in consumption = Y – Y’
= 1.25Y’ – Y’
= 0.25Y’
⇒ Reduction percentage =
= 20%
Incomes of X and Y are in the ratio 7 ∶ 8. Their expenditures are in the ratio 4 ∶ 5. If both individually save Rs. 960 at the end of the month, then what is the income (in Rs) of X?
Let the incomes of X and Y be 7a and 8a
Let the expenditures of X and Y be 4b and 5b.
Then the income of both will be,
⇒ 7a = 4b + 960 ----(1)
⇒ 8a = 5b + 960 ----(2)
By solving the above equation, we get
a = 320 and b = 320
The income of X = 7a = 7 × 320 = 2240.
If a ∶ b = 2 ∶ 3, b ∶ c = 4 ∶ 5 and c ∶ d = 6 ∶ 7, then a ∶ d = ?
a : b = 2 : 3
⇒ a/b = 2/3
⇒ b = 3a/2
b : c = 4 : 5
⇒ b/c = 4/5
⇒ 3a/2 : c = 4 : 5
⇒ c = 15a/8
c : d = 6 : 7
⇒c/d = 6/7
⇒ a/d = 16/35
⇒ a : d = 16 : 35
A jar contains a blend of a fruit juice and water in the ratio 5 ∶ x. When 1 liter of water is added to 4 liters of the blend the ratio of fruit juice to water becomes 1 ∶ 1. What is the value of x?

Jatin’s total investment = 60000 × 4 + 70000 × 8 = 240000 + 560000 = 800000
∵ Ratio of their profits = ratio of their total investment
∴ Ratio of their profits = 880000 ∶ 800000 = 11 ∶ 10
A certain sum becomes 'k' times in 6 years at compound interest. In 24 years it will become how many times?
We know the formula for compound interest –
CI = [P{1 + r/100}t – 1]
Where,
CI = Compound interest
P = Principal
R = Rate of interest
T = Time period
According to the question,
⇒ kP – P = [P {1 + r/100}6 – 1]
⇒ kP = P {1 + r/100}6 ----- (1)
∴ Total sum becomes after 24 year
⇒ P {1 + r/100}24 = P [{1 + r/100}6]4
Using equation (1)
= Pk4
A sum on compound interest amounts to Rs. 5618 in 2 years and Rs. 5786.54 in 3 years. Find the sum.
Note : Compound Interest for 1 year is equal to the Simple Interest for 1 year
Interest on Rs. 5618 in 1 year = Rs. (5786.54 - 5618) = Rs. 168.54
Rate =
Let the sum be Rs. y.
Amount in 2 years =
y(1+3/100)2 = 5618
By solving, we get
Sum, y = Rs. 5295.50
One train is travelling 45 km an hour and other is at 10 meters a second. The Ratio of the speed of the two trains is.
⇒ Speed of Train 1 = 45 kmph = 45 × 1000 meters per hour = 45000 meters / hour
= 45000 / 3600 meters per second
= 12.5 meters a second
According to Question the Speed of Train 2 = 10 meters a second
⇒ Ratio = Speed Of Train 1 : Speed of Train 2
⇒ Ratio = 12.5/10 = 5 : 4
A man can row 10 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the current is 2 km/hr, he takes 3 hours more in upstream than in the downstream. What is the distance (in km)?
Speed of the man in still water = 10 km/h
Speed of the current = 2 km/h
Speed of the man along the current = (10 + 2) km/h = 12 km/h
Speed of the man against the current = (10 – 2) km/h = 8 km/h
Given,
He takes 3 hours more in upstream than in the downstream
Let, The distance is x km = x/8 – x/12 = 3
⇒ x = 72 km
A 450-meter long train crosses a bridge 650 meters long in 36 seconds. What is speed (in km/hr) of the train?
Length of train = 450 m
Length of bridge = 650 m
To cross a bridge train has to cover a distance which is sum of the length of the train and length of the bridge.
∴ Distance covered to cross the bridge
= 450 m + 650 m
= 1100 m
Time required = 36 seconds
∴ Speed = Distance covered/Required time = 1100/36 = (1100/1000)/(36/3600)
= 110 km/hr
Tap A can fill a tank in 9 hours and tap B can fill the same tank in 6 hours. Tap C can empty the same full tank in 4 hours. If all the taps are opened together, then what portion of the tank will be filled after 6 hours?
A can fill the tank in = 9 hours
∴ In 1 hour A can fill = 1/9
B can fill the tank in = 6 hours
∴ In 1 hour B can fill = 1/6
C can empty the tank in = 4 hours
∴ In 1 hour C can empty = 1/4
∴ In 6 hours they together can fill ,
A garrison of 160 men has provision for 40 days. At the end of 10 days, 40 more men joined them. How many days could the soldiers sustain themselves if they had joined on the first day itself?
160 men can last for 40 days
1 man can last for = 40 × 160 days
Total number of men = 160 + 40 = 200
200 soldiers can last for = (30 × 160/200) = 24 days
If the area of a triangle with base 15 cm is equal to the area of a square with side 15 cm. The altitude of the triangle will be
Let the altitude of the triangle be ‘h’ centimeters.
We know that, Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height
And, area of a square = side2
According to question, Area of the given triangle = Area of the given square
⇒1/2 × 15 × h = 152
⇒ h = 30 cm
Hence, the height of the triangle is 30 centimeters.
The ratio of the volumes of a right circular cylinder and a sphere is 3 ∶ 2. If the radius of the sphere is double the radius of the base of the cylinder; find the ratio of the curved surface area of the cylinder and surface area of the sphere?
Let radius of cylinder be r and radius of sphere be R
Volume of a right circular cylinder = πr2h
Volume of a sphere = (4/3)πR3
Given,
R = 2r
Ratio of the volumes of a right circular cylinder and a sphere is 3 : 2
⇒ h = 16r
Curved Surface area of a right circular cylinder = 2πrh
Surface area of the sphere = 4πR2
∴ Ratio of the surface areas of the cylinder and the sphere = = 2 : 1
The side BC of ΔABC is produced to D. If ∠ACD = 114° and ∠ABC = (1/2)∠BAC, then what is the value (in degrees) of ∠BAC?
Let ∠ABC be x then ∠BAC = 2x
Using Exterior angle property
⇒ ∠CAB + ∠ABC = ∠ ACD
⇒ 2x + x = 114
⇒ x = 38
⇒ ∠BAC = 2x = 2 × 38 = 76
∴ ∠BAC is 76
In the given figure, PQR is a triangle in which, PQ = 24 cm, PR = 12 cm and altitude PS = 8 cm. If PT is the diameter of the circumcircle, then what is the length (in cm) of circum-radius?
If a, b, and c are the three sides of a triangle, then the circum-radius ‘R’ is given as,
R = abc/4A
Where A = area of triangle = (base × height)/2
Given, height = 8 cm
Let base = QR = x cm
⇒ Area of triangle = A = 8x/2 = 4x
The other two sides of triangle are of lengths 24 cm and 12 cm,
∴ Circum-radius of triangle = (24 × 12 × x)/(4 × 4x) = 18 cm
If x = cos2θ + sec2θ, then which statement is correct -
