Figure shown the elliptical path of a planet about the sun. The two shaded parts have equal area. If t₁ and t₂ be the time taken by the planet to go from a to b and from c to d respectively,

A particle is kept at rest at a distance R(earth’s radius) above the earth’s surface. The minimum speed with which it should be projected so that it does not return is

Two satellites A and B move round the earth in the same orbit. The mass of B is twice the mass of A

A particle executes simple harmonic motion under the restoring force provided by a spring. The time period is T. If the spring is divided in two equal parts and one part is used to continue the simple harmonic motion , the time period will

The free end of a simple pendulum is attached to the ceiling of a box. The box is taken to a height and the point, the box is released to fall freely. As seen from the box during this period, the bob will

A particle moves on the x-axis according to the equation x = x₀ sin²ωt. The motion is simple harmonic

A sine wave is travelling in a medium. A particular particle has zero displacement at a certain instant. The particle closest to it having zero displacement is at a distance

Both the strings, shown in figure are made of same material and have same cross-section. The pulleys are light. The wave speed of a transverse wave in the string AB is v₁ and in CD it is v₂. Then v₁/v₂ is

A wave pulse, travelling on a two-piece string, gets partially reflected and Partially transmitted at the Junction. The reflected wave is inverted in shape as compared to the incident one. If the incident wave has wavelength λ and the transmitted wave λ

Two waves represented by y = a sin (ωt-kx) and y = a cos(ωt-kx)  are superposed. The resultant wave will have an amplitude

Consider two waves passing through the same string.Principle of superposition for displacement says that the net displacement of a particle on the string is sum of the displacements proudced by the two waves individually. Suppose we state similar principles for the net velocity of the particle and the kinetic energy of the particle. Such a principle will be valid for

Two sine waves travel in the same direction in a medium.The amplitude of each wave is A and the phase difference between the two waves is The resultant amplitude will be

A sonometer wire of length l vibrates in fundamental mode when excited by a tuning fork of frequency 416Hz. If the length is doubled keeping other things same,the string will

Consider the following statements about sound passing through a gas

B. The position of a small layer of the gas oscillates in time

A tuning fork sends sound waves in air. If the temperature of the air increases, which of the following parameters will change ?

The speed of sound in a medium depends on

A tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz is vibrated with a sonometer wire and 6 beats per second are heard. The beat frequency reduces if the tension in the string is slightly increased. The original frequency of vibration of the string is

A small sources of sound moves on a circle as shown in figure and an observer is sitting at O.Let  v₁,v₂,v₃ be the frequencies heard when the source is at A,B and C respectively

The fundamental frequency of a vibrating organ pipe is 200 Hz

A simple pendulum with a brass bob has a time period T. The bob is now immersed in a non-viscous liquid and oscillated. If the density of the liquid is 1/8 that of brass, the time period of the same pendulum will be

Two sounding bodies producing progressive waves given by y₁ = 4sin(400πt) and y₂ = 3sin(404πt) where t is in seconds, are situated near the ears of a person. The person will hear

A closed organ pipe of length L and an open organ contain gases of densities ρ₁ and ρ₂ respectively.The compressibility of gases are equal in both the pipes. Both the pipes are vibrating in their first overtone with same frequency. The length of the organ pipe is

A wire of 9.8 x 10^-3kgm^-1 passes over a frinctionless light pulley fixed on the top of frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of 30⁰ with the horizontal. Masses m and M are tied at the two ends of wire such that m rests on the plane and M hangs freely vertically downwards.
