The dimensional formula of a physical quantity is an expression that tells us how and which of the fundamental quantities enter into the unit of that quantity. In mechanics, the dimensional formula is written in terms of the dimensions of mass, length and time (M, L and 7). In heat and thermodynamics, in addition to M, L 1.2. Course in Physies for IIT-JEE and T, we need to mention the dimension of temperature in kelvin (K). In electricity and magnetism, in addition to M, L and T, we need to mention the dimension of current or charge per unit time (I or QT").

Principle of Homogeneity of Dimensions Consider a simple equation, A+B=C If this is an equation of physics, ic. if A, B and C are physical quantities, then this equation says that one physi- ‘cal quantity A, when added to another physical quantity B, gives a third physical quantity C. This equation wi have no meaning in physics if the nature (i.e. the dimen- sions) of the quantities on the left-hand side of the equa- tion is not the same as the nature of the quantity on the right-hand side. For example, if A is a length, B must also bbe a length and the result of addition of A and B must express a length. In other words, the dimensions of both sides of a physical equation must be identical. This is called the principle of homogeneity of dimensions. 14. Uses of Dimensional Analysis Dimensional equations provide a very simple method of deriving relations between physical quantities involved in any physical phenomenon. The analysis of any pheno ‘enon carried out by using the method of dimensions is called dimensional analysis. This analysis is based on the principle of homogeneity of dimensions explained above. ‘There are four important uses of dimensional equations: 1. Checking the correctness of an equation. 2. Derivation of the relationship between the physical quantities involved in any phenomenon. 3. Finding the dimensions of constants or variables in an equation. 4. Conversion of units from one system to another. 1.5 Limitations of Dimensional Analysis ‘Though the dimensional method is a simple and a very convenient way of finding the dependence of a physical ‘quantity on other quantities of a given system, it has its ‘own limitations, some of which are listed as follows: 1, In more complicated situations, it is often not easy to find out the factors on which a physical quantity will depend. In such cases, one has to make a guess which may or may not work. 2. This method gives no information about the dimen- sionless constant which has to be determined either by experiment or by a complete mathematical deri- vation. 3. This method is used only if a physical quantity var- ies as the product of other physical quantities. It fails if a physical quantity depends on the sum or difference of two quantities. Try, for instance, to tain the relation $= ut + a using the method of dimensions. 4, This method will not work if a quantity depends on another quantity as sin or cos of an angle, i.. if the dependence is by a trigonometric function, The method works only if the dependence is by power functions only. 5. This method does not give a complete information in cases where a physical quantity depends on more than three quantities, because by equating the pow- ers of M, L and T, we can obtain only three equa- tions for the exponents, 1.6 Significant Figures The number significant figure in any measurement indicates the degree of precision of that measurement. ‘The degree of precision is determined by the least count of the measuring instrument. Suppose a length measured bya metre scale (of least count = 0.1 em) is 1-5 em, then it has two significant figures, namely 1 and 5. Measured with a vernier callipers (of least count = 0.01 cm) the same length is 1.53 cm and it then has three significant figures. Measured with a screw gauge (of least count = 0.001 cm) the same length may be 1.536 cm which has four significant figures. It must be clearly understood that we cannot increase the accuracy of a measurement of changing the unit. For example, suppose a measurement of mass yields a value 39.4 kg. It is understood that the measuring instrument has a least count of 0.1 kg. In this measurement, three figures 3, 9 and 4 are significant. If we change 39.4 kg to 39400 g or 39400000 mg. we cannot change the accuracy of measurement. Hence 39400 g or 39400000 mg still have three significant figures; the zeros only serve to indicate only the magnitude of measurement. Estimation of Appropriate Significant Figures in Calculations ‘The importance of significant figures lies in calculation to find the result of addition or multiplication of measured quantities having a different number of significant figures. The least accurate quantity determines the accuracy of the sum or product. The result must be rounded off to the appropriate digit. Rules for Rounding off ‘The following rules are used for dropping figures that are not significamts Units and Dimensions 1.3 1. If the digit to be dropped is less than 5, the next (preceding) digit to be retained is left unchanged. For example, if a number 5.34 is to be rounded off to two significant figures, the digit to be dropped is 4 which is less than 5. 2. Ifthe digit to be dropped is more than 5, the preced- ing digit to be retained is increased by 1. For ex- amples 7.536 is rounded off as 7.54 to three signifi- cant figures. 3. If the digit to be dropped happens to be 5, then (a) the preceding digit to be retained is increased by 1 if it odd, or (b) the preceding digit is retained unchanged if it is even. 4, Hence the next digit, namely 3, is not changed, The result of the indicated rounding-off is therefore, 5.3. For example, 6.75 is rounded off to 6.8 to two significant figures and 4.95 is rounded off to 5.0 but 3.45 is rounded off to 3.4, Significant Figures in Addition and Subtraction Suppose there are four objects of mass 2.5 kg, 1.54 kg, 3.668 kg and 5.1278 kg. The total mass (M) = 2.5 + 1.54 + 3.668 + 5.1278 = 12.8358 kg. There are two significant figures in the first mass, three in the second, four in the third and five in the fourth. There are 6 digits in the value of the sum. The final result cannot be more accurate that the least accurate quantity, which in this example of 2.5 kg. This mass is accurate only up to the first decimal place in kg. Hence the result must be rounded off to the first decimal placed in kg. The correct result up to appropriate significant figures is M = 12.8 kg. ‘Thus for addition and subtraction is the rule is as follows: Round off the final result such that it has the same number of digits after the decimal place as in the least accurate measurement. Significant Figures in Multiplication and Division We use the following rule to determine the number of significant figures in the result of multiplication and division of various physical quantities. Do not worry about the number of digits after the decimal place. Round off the result so that it has the same number of significant figures as in the least accurate quantity. Example: A man runs 100.5 m in 10.3 s. Find his average speed up to appropriate significant figure. 1002 «9.708737 ms The distance 100.5 m has four significant figures but the time 10.3 s has only three. Hence the value of the result ‘must be round off to three significant figures. The correct result is 7 = 9.71 ms"! 1.4 Course in Physies for ITT-JEE 1.7. Least Counts of Some Measuring Instruments 1, Least count of metre seale = 1 mm = 0.1 em 2. Vernier constant (or least count) of vernier callipers = value of | main scale division ~ value of 1 vernier scale division = 1 M.S.D.~1 V.S.D Let the value of 1 M.S.D =a unit If n vernier scale divisions coincide with m main scale divisions, then value of LV.S.D= of 1MS.D n ma = unit ” Least count =~" = ( - 2) unit n n 3. Least count of a micrometer screw is found by the formula Least count = Pitch of screw Total number of divisions on circular scale where pitch = lateral distance moved in one com- plete rotation of the screw. Aa = Ar + Ay We take the worst case in which errors add up. Aa _ Ar+ Ay a (x~)) . Error in product and division: Suppose we de- termine the value of a physical quantity u by mea- suring three quantities x, y and z whose true values are related to u by the eq) uate z Let the expected small errors in the measurement of quantities x, y and z be respectively * dx, + dy and + 3: so that the error in u by using these ob- served quantities is + du. The numerical values of &x, dy and & are given by the least count of the instruments used to measure them. Taking logarithm of both sides we have log w= alog x + Blog y~ ylog Partial differentiation of the above equation gives Bg gE gh yh y z y . J ‘The proportional of relative error in u is du/u. The values of Sx, 5y and d: may be positive or negative and in some uses the terms on the right hand side 1.8 Order of Accuracy: Proportionate Error ‘may counteract each other. This effect cannot be ‘The order of accuracy of the result of measurements is relied upon and itis necessary to consider the worst determined by the least counts of the measuring case which is the case when all errors add up giv- instruments used to make those measurements. Suppose a ing an error du given by the equation: length xis measured with a metre scale, then the error in.x ‘Su is + Ar, where Ax= least count of metre scale = 0.1 em. If (*). the same length is measured with vernier callipers of least count 0.01 cm, then Ax = 0.01 em, ox ey u eye ‘Thus to find the maximum proportional error in u, multiply the proportional errors in each factor (x, y and z) by the numerical value of the power to which each factor is raised and then add all the terms so obtained. The sum thus obtained will give the maximum propor-tional error in the result of u. When the pro- aaxty portional error of a quantity is multiplied by 1 ‘Then Sa = Ax + Ay is the maximum error and ‘we get the percentage error of that quantity. It is Aa Ax+Ay evident that a small error in the measurement of the a Gin quantity having the highest rower will connie maximum percentage error in the value of u. Hence 2. Error in Difference: If a =x — y, then the maxi- the panty hag the highest power should be iti eta measured with as great a precision as possible. Fractional or proportionate error is defined as =. Maximum percentage error= 4 x 100. z 1. Error in sum: Suppose a quantity is given by SECTION I Multiple Choice Questions with Only One Choice Correct 1.

(d) Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true. 1. Statement-1 The order of accuracy of measnrement depends on the feast count of the measuaing instrument. Statement-2 The smaller the least count the greater is the num- ber of significant figures in the measured value. 2. Statement-1 ‘The dimensional method cannot be used to abtain the dependence of the work done by a force F on the angle @between force F and displacement x. Statement-2 All trignometric functions are dimensionless. SOLUTIONS 1. The corrent choice is (b). 2. Work done is W = Fx cos 8. since cos @ is dimen- sionless, the dependence of Won @ cannot be determined by the dimensional method. Hence the correct choice is (a) Units and Dimensions 1.21 3. Statement-1 ‘The mass of an object is 13.2 kg. In this measure- ment there are 3 significant figures. Statement-2 ‘The same mass when expressed in grams as 13200 g has five significant figures. 3. The correct choice is (c). The degree of accurany (and hence the number of significant figures) of a ‘measurement cannot be increased by changing the unit. MOTION IN ONE DIMENSION REVIEW OF BASIC CONCEPTS 21 Scalar and Vector Quantities A scalar quantity has only magnitude but no direction, such as distance, speed, mass, area, volume, time, work, energy, power, temperature, specific heat, charge, potential, etc A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction, such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, torque, electric field, magnetic field, etc. 22 Distance and Displacement ‘The distance is the total path travelled by a body in a certain interval of time and the displacement is the shortest distance (in a specified direction) between the initial and final positions of the body. This distinction between distance and displacement is true not only for a uniform motion but also for a non- uniform motion. Ifa ball is thrown vertically upward from position, say A, above the ground and after some time, it ‘comes back to the same point A, the displacement of the ball is zero but the distance travelled by it is not zero—it is twice the distance between the point A and the highest point up to which it rises. 23 Speed, Velocity and Acceleration ‘The speed of a body is the rate of change of distance. If a body travels a distance As is time Ar, its average spec given by _ As Ar If the body is in uniform motion, its speed is given by p= 5 = Lolal distance travelled t total time taken The instantaneous speed is the speed of a body at a given instant of time and is given by Beat armoar dt The velocity of a body is the rate of change of displacement and is given by ds pate dt Speed is a scalar quantity but velocity is a vector quantity. The magnitude of the velocity vector gives the speed of the body and its direction gives the direction of, motion of the body. The rate of change of the velocity vector is called acceleration. dv Thus a=7 dt 24 One-Dimensional Motion with Constant Acceleration A particle moving in a straight line has one-dimensional motion. If the acceleration of the particle does not change with time, it is said to have a constant acceleration. Equations of Motion ‘The equations of one-dimensional motion with constant acceleration as follows: vsutat 1 ssutt sar 2 ow =2as A body moving with a velocity u (which we call the initial velocity) in a straight line is given a constant acceleration a at time ¢ = 0. As a result of the acceleration, its velocity increases to v in time 1 (which we call the final velocity) during which the body suffers a displacement s. While solving numerical problems, we will consider only the magnitudes of u, 0, a and s and take care of their direction by assigning a positive or negative sign to the quantity. For example + a will mean an acceleration and ~a will mean retardation or deceleration. ‘The distance traversed in nth second is given by wee Lane 5, = u+ Fan 1) 2.2 Course in Physics for IIT-JEE 2.5 Motion Under Gravity Fora body thrown vertically upwards or falling vertically downwards, the following sign convention is used. 1. All quantities directed upwards are taken as posi- tive, 2. All quantities directed downwards are taken as negative. Under this sign convention, the acceleration due to gravity (g) which is directed downwards is always negative irrespective of the direction of motion of the body. On or near the surface of the earth, the average value of acceleration due to gravity is g =-9.8 ms? 2.6 Graphical Representation The displacement-time and velocity-time graphs of a motion give us a graphical representation of the motion of particle. The shape of these graphs tells us about the kind of motion a particle has (see Fig. 2.1) From these graphs, it follows that (i) the speed of the particle at any instant is given by the slope of the displacement-time graph, (ii) the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle at any instant is given by the slope of the velocity- time graph and (iii) the distance moved by the particle in a time inter- val from 1, tof, is given by the area under the ve- locity-time graph during that time interval. “ 5 : i © @ Fig. 21.

If two objects A and B are moving in a straight line with velocities v, and yp respectively, the relative velocity of object A with respect to object B is given by Van = 4 Ya It follows that the relative velocity of object B with respect to object A will be Yea = ¥p SECTION I Multiple Choice Questions with Only One Choice Correct 1.

Since the gases are ejected in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of the plane, the relative velocity of the gases with respect to the plane = ~ 1500 km h”'. Therefore, the velocity of the gases with respect to an observer ‘on the ground = — 1500 + 500 = — 1000 km h!. ‘The negative sign indicates that the direction of the velocity is from west to east.

It follows from Fig. 2.3 that from 0 to 5 s, displace- ‘ment x increases linearly with time ¢. Therefore, velocity 2 is a positive constant between t = 0 and 1=5's, Between = 5s and1= 15 s, displacement remains constant. Therefore, velocity (2) is zero between ¢= 5 s and r= 15s. Between t= 15 s and 1 = 20 5, displacement (x) decreases linearly with time (1). Therefore, velocity (0) is constant but negative between 1 = 15 s and r= 20s. Hence, the correct choice is graph (d) in Fig. 2.4. Draw a line (shown dotted in Fig. 2.19) perpen- dicular to the Faxis. This line cuts the graph at two points A and B which means that the particle has two different positions at x, and x, at the same time. This is not possible.

Thus the time of flight of the first bullet is 2x 10= 20 s while that of the second bullet is 20 + 25 s, Hence, the second builet will reach the starting point $ seconds later than the first bullet. At r= 20s, the speed of the first bullet is 98 ms“ while that of the second bullet is 98 - 9.8 x 5 = 49 ms"! The maximum height attained by each bullet is 490 m. Hence, height attained by each bul- let is 490 m. Therefore the correct choices are (a) and (d). 2, The distance covered in the nth second (with w = 0) is given by £ (= (@- 11 = Fen 1) ase dane de 52 ds etc. Hence choices (a) and (d) are correct. 3.

Therefore, the total distance travelled by the bullet in 10s = 125 + 125 = 250 m, which is choice (b). For heights fi << radius of the earth, the magnitude of g is constant, ic. the rate of change of velocity is constant, which is choice (c). Thus, all four choices are correct.

Since the negative sign of fis not possible, the correct answer is 4 5. Its clear that the net displacement of the stone in coming back to the pointfrom where it was pro- jected is zero, i.e. s = 0.

So the height from the ground when he opened his parachute = 45 ~ 15 = 30 m. In time 3 s, the balloon has risen through 30 m (as the velocity of the balloon is 10 ms“ upwards). Hence the parachutist is now 30 + 15 = 45 m away from the balloon. The velocity of the parachutist 3 s after he bails out is veutg 0 + (-10) x 3 = -20 ms"! (Girected downwards) At t= 3s, his initial velocity is u = -20 ms" and to hit the ground, his displacement s = -30 m (see solution of Q.18). Now a = +5 ms™ (directed upwards). The time taken to hit the ground is given by ae ze or -30=-208+ he or P-81+12=0 or (r-6\t-2)=0 which gives ¢= 6s or 2s. If t= 6s, then the velo- city with which he hits the ground is v = w+ ar = 20 +5 x 6= 10 ms“, This is positive, ic, v is directed upwards, which is not possible.

Statement-1 ‘A body moving in a straight line with a constant speed must have a zero acceleration. SOLUTIONS 1. The correct choice is (b). 2. The correct choice is (c). The velocity of a body moving along a curve continuously changes because its direction of motion is changing.

Statement-2 ‘The apparent weight of a body in a meduim depends on the density of the body relative to that of the meduim. Statement-1 If the displacement-time graph of the motion of a body is a straight line parallel to the time axis, then it follows that the body is at rest. Statement-2 Velocity is equal to the rate of change of displace- ment.

Projectile is the name given to a body which, after having been given an initial velocity, is allowed 10 move under the influence of gravity alone. A few examples of projectiles are: a stone thrown from the top of building, a bullet fired from a rifle, a bomb released from a plane, a javelin thrown by an athlete, etc. The path of projectile is called its trajectory. A body can be projected in two ways: (i) It can be projected horizontally from a certain height, or (ii) It is thrown from the ground in a direction inclined to it. @ Body Projected Horizontally from a Certain Height If a body is projected horizontally at time 1 = 0 with a velocity vg from a point above the ‘ground, then the horizontal and vertical distances covered in time t are x= Up t and y = ge Eliminating ¢ from these equations, we get = 8 ae 2 20 where k= Thr: Since k x7, the trajectory ofthe % body projected horizontally from any height above the ground is parabolic.

This is the case of centripetal acceleration of a particle for which the velocity vector is tangential to the circle and the acceleration vector is directed towards the centre, Thus, statements (a), (c) and (@) are all correct. Statement (b) is false. If the acceleration vector were along the tangent, ‘would change the angular speed of the particle. 40. Since the force is always perpendicular to the velocity (i.e. the direction of motion) of the particle, no work is done by the force on the particle. Hence the kinetic energy of the particle remains constant. The particle will move in a circle in a plane. Thus the correct choice is (c). 41. As shown in Fig. 4.9, at diametrically opposite points A and B, the magnitude of the velocity is same (= V) but the directions of the velocity are ‘opposite. Hence the change in momentum is MV — (MV) = 2 MY. Thus the correct choice is (c). Motion in Two Dimensions 4.13 Fig. 49 42. The displacement, velocity and acceleration are vector quantities. They are changing; but kinetic ‘energy remains constant because the speed is constant. Hence the correct choice is (c). 43.

Let t be the duration of the collision, ie. the time for which the bodies were in contact during which time the transfer of momentum took place. We assume that the bodies continued moving in the same straight line after the collision with velocities different from their initial velocities. Impulse of a force is the product of the average force ‘and the time for which the force acts and itis equal to the change in momentum of the body during that time. Impulse is a vector and is measured in kg m s“' ot N s. IsF,,t= Ap ‘Total impulse = Area under the F — curve and the f-axis, 5.5 Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum ‘The law of conservation of linear momentum may be stated as follows. When no external force acts on a system consisting of several particles, the total linear momentum of the system remains constant. The total linear momentum is the vector sum of the linear momentum of each particle of the system. 5.6 Inertial and Non-inertial Frames Newton's first laws of motion is not applicable to all frames of reference. It is often called the law of inertia and the reference frames in which it holds good are called inertial frames. Such frames are either fixed with respect to distant stars or are moving at a uniform velocity with respect to them. Thus, non-accelerating frames are A frame of reference moving with a constant velocity with respect to an inertial frame is also an inertial frame. Non-inertial Frames Consider a frame of reference 5’ which is not moving with a constant velocity with respect to an inertial frame $ but is rotating with respect to it. Ifa body is at rest in frame S, it will appear to move in acircle in frame 5’, ic. its motion appears to be accelerated in S”. We know that a circular motion is an example of accelerated motion (centripetal acceleration). Thus no force acts on the body in frame S but an unreal or fictitious force (called centripetal force) acts on the body in frame S*. This implies that newton’ first two laws of motion do not hold in the reference frame S‘. Such frames of reference in which newton’s first two laws do not hold, are called non-inertial frames. A non-inertial frame may be defined as one which is accelerating with respect to an inertial frame. Notice that a rotating frame is also an accelerating frame, Thus we conclude that inertial frames are non-rotating and non-accelerating frames. A frame of reference is known as an inertial frame if all accelerations of any particle in it are caused by ‘real” forces. On the other hand, a frame of reference is called a non-inertial frame if the accelerations are caused by ‘fictitious’ or ‘pseudo’ forces. 5.7 Friction Friction is the force which comes into play when one body slides or rolls over the surface of another body and acts in a direction tangential to the surfaces in contact and ‘opposite to the direction of motion of the body. ‘The maximum (or limiting) force of friction when a body just begins to slide over the surface of another body is called the limiting friction. ‘The force of friction just before one body begins to slide over another is called the limiting static friction (f,). The coefficient of limiting static friction (1,) is defined as fi & Wee where R is the normal reaction, i.e. the normal force pressing the two surfaces together. ‘The force necessary to maintain a body in uniform motion over the surface of another body, after motion has started, is called the kinetic or sliding friction (f,). The coefficient of kinetic friction (14) is defined as =A M’R Note that m, is always less than /, Angle of Friction Angle of friction is the angle between the resultant of the force of limiting friction (f) and the normal reaction (R).
