2.3 Solved Examples Q1. An object 4 cm in size is placed 25 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed in order to obtain a sharp image? Find the nature and size of the image. A. According to sign convention: focal length (f) = -15cm object distance (u) = -25cm object height (ho) = 4 cm image distance (v) = ? image height (hi) = ? Substituting the above value in the equation, 1/f = 1/u + 1/v 1/-15 = 1/-25+ 1/v 1/v = 1/25 – 1/15 1/v = -2/75 v = -37.5cm So, the screen should be placed at 37.5 cm from the pole of the mirror. The image is real. Magnification m =hi/ho = -v/u By substituting the above values, hi/4 = -(-37.5)/ (-25) hi = - (37.5 X4)/25 hi = - 6cm So, the image is inverted and enlarged. SESSION 2.

Q2. Find the distance of the image when an object is placed on the principal axis at a distance of 10 cm in front of a concave mirror whose radius of curvature is 8 cm. [Refer to TB page 124 Q4] A. Let the distance of the image = v Distance of the object, u = 10 cm Radius of curvature, R = 8 cm As we know that, R = 2f; where f = focal length So, f = R/2 Or, f = 8/2 cm or f = 4 cm According to mirror formula, 1/f = 1/v + 1/u Substituting all the values, we get 1/4 = 1/v + 1/10 or 1/v = 1/4 – 1/10 Or, 1/v = 3/20 or v = 20/3 = 6.67 cm Hence the image will be formed at a distance of 6.67 cm. Q3. Distinguish between real and virtual images. [Refer to TB page 124 Q6] A. Differences between real and inverted images are as follows.

It is represented by C. c) Focus: A point on the principal axis where all the parallel rays of light, after reflection through the spherical mirror, meet or appear to meet, is known as the focus or focal point (F) of the spherical mirror. SESSION 2. IMAGES FORMED BY SPHERICAL MIRRORS 12

d) Radius of curvature: The distance between the pole (P) and center of curvature (C) of the spherical mirror is known as the radius of curvature (R). It is twice the focal length (f), i.e. R = 2f. e) Focal length: The distance between the pole (P) and Focus (F) of the spherical mirror is known as the focal length (f) of the mirror. f) Principal axis: An imaginary line passing through the pole and the centre of curvature of a spherical mirror is known as the principal axis of the mirror. g) Object distance: The distance between the pole of the spherical mirror and the position of the object on the principal axis is known as object distance (u). h) Image distance: The distance between the pole of the spherical mirror and the position of the image formed on the principal axis is known as image distance. i) Magnification: It is the ratio of the size of the image to the size of the object. It is represented by the m. m = size of the image (hi) / size of the object (ho) or m = - distance of the image ( v) / distance of the object (u) Q6. Write the rules for sign convention. [Refer to TB page 124 Q9] A. Sign convention Rule: i. All distances should be measured from the pole. ii. The distances measured in the direction of incident light, to be taken positive and those measured in the direction opposite to incident light to be taken negative. iii. Height of the object (Ho) and height of image (Hi) are positive if measured upwards from the axis and negative if measured downwards. Q7. The magnification produced by a convex mirror is -1. Do you agree? [Refer to TB page 124 Q10] A. i) No, this statement is incorrect because a convex mirror always forms a virtual image behind the mirror and according to sign convention of the mirror, the distance measured in the direction of the incident light from the pole of the mirror, to be taken positive. So its magnification should be positive always. ii) Also, the convex mirror forms diminished image of the object, so its magnification should be less than 1 always. SESSION 2.

Q1. Imagine that spherical mirrors were not known to human beings. Guess the consequences. [Refer to TB page 124 Q11] A. i. Concave mirrors are used in head lights of automobiles so that the light spreads on a wider surface and creates wider vision. Convex mirrors are used in vehicles’ rear mirror. If this was not known to human beings, then we would be unable to see behind us and this would increase accidents on the road. ii. Solar cookers use concave mirrors as reflectors to converge Sun rays to increase the temperature of the box. If concave mirrors were not known to us then we would not be able to use the solar energy as a fuel. iii.

How do you form a diminished image by a concave mirror on a screen? [Refer to TB page 125 Q13] A. i. For forming a diminished image by a concave mirror on a screen, keep a candle in front of a concave mirror beyond the centre of curvature. ii. A ray of light R1 passing through the focus of the concave mirror becomes parallel to the principal axis after reflection. iii. A ray of light R2 which is parallel to principal axis passes through the focus F after reflection. iv. The reflected rays meet at A. v. Since any ray coming from any point on the axis and travelling along the axis will get reflected on the axis itself. So, the base of the image is going to be on the axis. vi. If the object is placed vertically on the axis, the image is going to be vertically on the axis. vii. Hence, the image formed in the diagram will be inverted and diminished as shown in the image. SESSION 2. IMAGES FORMED BY SPHERICAL MIRRORS 14

Q2. What do you infer from the experiment which you did with the concave mirror and where you measured the distance of the object and the distance of the image? [Refer to TB page 125 Q15] A. i. We can infer that there is a relation between object distance and object size and image distance and image size of an object placed in front of a concave mirror. ii. As we change the position of the object in front of a concave mirror, the position and the size of the image also changes. Hence we can say that for different positions of the object, we can get different positions and different sizes of the image. iii. Images formed by a concave mirror are as follows. Position of the Position of the Enlarged/ Erect/ Real/ Object Image Diminished Inverted Virtual Between mirror and Behind the Enlarged Erect Virtual focal point F mirror On focal point F At infinity - -- Enlarged Inverted Real Between Focal point Beyond C Same size Inverted Real F and centre of On C curvature C On centre of curvature C SESSION 2. IMAGES FORMED BY SPHERICAL MIRRORS 15

Beyond centre of Between F and Diminished Inverted Real curvature C C iv. As the distance of the object from the mirror decreases, object distance increases and the size of the image also increases. At the centre of curvature, we can see from the above table, image distance and object distance are the same and at focus, the image forms at infinity or we can say that no image is formed. Q1. Draw a ray diagram to show the process of converging of the parallel beam by a concave mirror by taking four parallel incident rays. [Refer to TB page 125 Q16] A. i. To draw a ray diagram to converge four parallel beams by a concave mirror, first draw a concave mirror MM1 and four parallel incident lines AG, BH, DI and EJ on mirror. ii. Now, draw the normal at incident point to the parallel light ray. iii. Measure incident angle and draw the reflected ray with the reflected angle which is the same as the incident angle (according to the law of reflection). iv. Follow the same procedure for all the incident rays. v. You will observe that in the ray diagram, the parallel light rays are converged at the focus of the mirror. SESSION 2. IMAGES FORMED BY SPHERICAL MIRRORS 16

Q2. Draw suitable rays by which we can guess the position of the image formed by a concave mirror. [Refer to TB page 125 Q17] A. i. All the rays that are parallel to the axis get reflected such that they pass through the focal point of the mirror. ii. All the rays that come from the tip of the object and go through the focal point and fall on the mirror, after reflection travel parallel to the principal axis. iii. All the rays coming from the tip of the object and going through the centre of curvature to meet the mirror will get reflected along the same line. iv. Along with these rays, the ray which comes from the object and reaches the pole of the mirror is also useful in drawing the ray diagram. SESSION 2. IMAGES FORMED BY SPHERICAL MIRRORS 17

So the real image is formed at point A of the object. vii. The image formed is real, inverted and the same size as the object. Q1. How do you appreciate the role of spherical mirrors in daily life? [Refer to TB page 125 Q21] SESSION 2. IMAGES FORMED BY SPHERICAL MIRRORS 19

position, nature and size of the image. [Refer to TB page 125 Q6, Try These] A. i. Radius of curvature of the mirror, R = 3 m ii. So, focal length of the mirror, f = R/2 = 3/2 m = 1.5 m (Focus lies behind the mirror, i.e., in the direction of light. So its sign is taken as positive.) iii. Location of the bus from the mirror, u = -5 m (Object is always placed in front of the mirror. Hence, the sign of object is taken as negative.) iv. Let the position of the mirror = v v. Using mirror formula, 1/f = 1/v + 1/u Or, 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or, 1/v = 1/1.5 – 1/-5 or 1/v = 13/15 Or, v = 15/13 = 1.15 m vi. Magnification, m = -v/u = - 1.15/-5 = 0.23 vii. Hence, the image is smaller than the size of object and it is virtual and erect as it is formed behind the mirror. Q5. An object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 15cm. Find the position and nature of the image. [Refer to TB page 125 Q7, Try These] A. i. Object distance, u = -10 cm (Object is always placed in front of the mirror. Hence the sign of object is taken as negative.) ii. Focal length of the convex mirror, f = 15 cm (Focus lies behind the mirror, i.e., in the direction of light. So its sign is taken as positive.) iii. Let the position of the object be v. iv. Using mirror formula, 1/f = 1/v + 1/u Or, 1/v = 1/f -1/u Or, 1/v = 1/15 – 1/-10 or 1/v = 5/30 or 1/v = 1/6 Or, v = 6 cm v. As v is positive, the image formed behind the mirror. Thus it is virtual and erect. Q6. Write answers to the following questions based on the data given in the table -3. [Refer to TB page 125 Q8, Try These] SESSION 2.

Centripetal acceleration – The acceleration that changes only the direction of velocity of a body is called “centripetal acceleration”. iii. Centripetal force – The net force which change only the direction of the velocity of a body is called “centripetal force”. 1.3 Key Concepts i. The force of attraction between two objects is called gravitational force. ii. Motion of a body with constant speed in a circular path is called uniform circular motion. iii. The acceleration which causes changes in direction of velocity of a body is called centripetal acceleration and it is directed always towards the center of the circle during the uniform circular motion of a body. iv. The net force required to maintain a body in uniform circular motion is known as ‘centripetal force’ and its magnitude is given by F = mv2 /R. SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION 31

1.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. A car moves with constant speed of 10 m/s in a circular path of radius 10 m. The mass of the car is 1000 kg. Who or what is providing required centripetal force for the car? How much is it? [Refer to TB page 139 Q1] A. The centripetal force for the car is provided by the mass of the car. Centripetal force, F = mv2 R Mass of car (m) = 1000 kg Speed of car (v) = 10 m/s R, radius of circular path = 10 m F=? F = 1000×102 = 104N 10 Centripetal Force (F) = 104 N Q2. Two cars having masses m1 and m2 move in circles of radii r1 and r2 respectively. If they complete the circles in equal time, what are the ratios of their speeds and centripetal accelerations? [Refer to TB page 139 Q4] A. Masses of cars: m1 and m2 ; Radius of circles : r1 and r2 Given that their time period is equal. Therefore T1 = T2 T1 = 2πr1 and T2 = 2πr2 v1 v2 T1 = T2 ⇒ 2πr1 = 2πr2 v1 v2 SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION 32

F = mv2 = 150×(36× 5 2 = 5 × (10)2 = 500N R 18 ) 30 This force is provided by the friction between the tyres of the car and road. 1.5 Application to Daily Life, Concern to Bio Diversity Q1. A small metal washer is placed on the top of a hemisphere of radius R. What minimum horizontal velocity should be imparted to the washer to detach it from the hemisphere at the initial point of motion? [Refer to TB page 140 Q4, Try These] A. Radius of hemisphere = R Mass of hemisphere = M SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION 33

Let the radius and mass of washer = r, m Distance between hemisphere and washer = R + r The centripetal force required to rotate the washer = mv2 R The gravitational force of washer due to hemisphere is GMm R2 But the necessary centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force mv 2 = GMm r R2 ⇒ v2 = GMm × r r2 m Here r is the distance, r= R+r v2 = GM (R+r) When R and r are compared, r<<R, which is negligible. v2 = GM (R) We know the relation between G and g as g = GM (R2) ⇒G = gR2 M ∴ v2 = gR2 × M M R ⇒ v2 = gR √ or, v = gR SESSION 1.

SESSION 2 UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION AND FREE FALL 2.1 Mind Map 2.2 Terminology i. Law of gravitation – Every object in this universe attracts every other body. The force of attraction between the two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. ii. Weight –Weight of a body is the force of attraction on the body due to earth. It is given by the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity; W = mg. iii. Weightlessness – The state of the freely falling body. iv. Free–fall – A body is said to be in free fall when only gravity acts on it. (its acceleration is ‘g’). SESSION 2. UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION AND FREE FALL 35

2.3 Solved Examples Q1. Example 1: What is the time period taken for one revolution of a satellite near the earth’s surface? Neglect height of the orbit of satellite from the surface of ground. (Refer to TB page 131) A. The force on the satellite due to earth is given by F = GmM , R2 where M: Mass of earth, m: Mass of satellite, R: Radius of earth. Let ‘v’ be the speed of the satellite v = 2πR ⇒ T = 2πR T v Required centripetal force is provided to satellite by the gravitational force hence Fc = mv2 R But Fc =GRM2m according to Newton’s law of gravitation. i.e., GMm = m(2πR)2 R2 T 2R ⇒ T2 = 4π2R3 , as mass of the earth (M) and G are constants the value of T depends GM only on the radius of the earth. ⇒ T 2 ∝ R3 Substituting the values of M, R and G in above equation we get, T = 84.75 minutes. Thus the satellite revolving around the earth in a circular path near to the earth’s surface takes 1 hour and 24.7 minutes approximately to complete one revolution around earth. Q2. Example 2: A body is projected vertically up. What is the distance covered in its last second of upward motion? (g = 10 m/s2 ) ( Refer to TB page 133 ) SESSION 2. UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION AND FREE FALL 36

A. The distance covered by the object in the last second of its upward motion is equal to the distance covered in the first second of its downward motion. Hence s = 1 gt2 = 1 × 10 × 1 =5m 2 2 Q3. Example 3: Two bodies fall freely from different heights and reach the ground simultane- ously. The time of descent for the first body is t1 = 2s and for the second t2 = 1s. At what height was the first body situated when the other began to fall? (g = 10 m/s2 ) (Refer to TB page133) A. The second body takes 1 second to reach ground. So, we need to find the distance traveled by the first body in its first second and in two seconds. The distance covered by first body in 2s. h1 = 1 gt2 = 1 × 10 × 22 = 20 m 2 2 The distance covered in 1 s, h2 = 5 m. The height of the first body when the other begin to fall h = 20 – 5 = 15 m. Q4. Example 4: A stone is thrown vertically up from a tower of height 25 m with a speed of 2 20 m/s. What time does it take to reach the ground? (g = 10 m/s )( Refer to TB page 133) SESSION 2. UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION AND FREE FALL 37

+ _ A. Sign convention must be used to solve this problem. It is shown in figure. We consider the upward direction as positive and downward direction as negative with respect to a point of reference. In the above example the point of projection is considered as the point of reference. Then, u = 20 m/s a = g = –10 m/s2 s = h = –25 m From equation of motion s = ut + 1 at2 2 –25 = 20t – 1 × 10 × t2 2 –25 = 20t – 5 t2 –5 = 4t – t2 i.e., t2 – 4t – 5 = 0 Solving this equation, we get (t – 5 ) (t + 1) = 0 SESSION 2. UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION AND FREE FALL 38

t = 5 or –1 Therefore, t = 5 s Q5. Example 5: Find the time taken by the body projected vertically up with a speed ‘u’ to return to the ground. (Refer to TB page 134) A. Let us take the equation s = ut + 1 at2 2 For entire motion, s = 0 a = –g u=u 0 = ut – 1 gt2 2 1 gt2 = ut 2 t = 2u g 2.4 Key Concepts i. Newton’s universal law of gravitation: Every object in this universe attracts every other body. The force of attraction between the two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance be- tween them. ii. All the bodies falling due to gravity have the same acceleration equal to 9.8 m/s2 near the surface of the earth. iii. A body is said to be in free fall when only gravity acts on it. iv. The force with which a body is attracted by the earth is called its weight, w = mg. v. When a body is in free fall condition it will be in a state of weightlessness. SESSION 2.

[Refer to TB page 140 Q1, Try These] A. v=u + at u, Initial velocity of apple = 0 a, acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s2 t, time = 1.5 s v, speed of apple = ? v = 0 + l0 x 1.5 = 15 Speed after 1.5 sec = 15 m/s Distance covered by apple s = ut + ½ at2 u = 0; t=1.5 sec; a=10 m/s2 s = (0 x 1.5) + ½ x 10 x (1.5)2 = 0 + ½ x l0 x 2.25 = 11.25 Distance covered by the apple = 11.25 m Q2. A body is projected with a speed of 40 m/s vertically up from the ground. What is the maximum height reached by the body? What is the entire time of motion? What is the velocity at 5 seconds after the projection ? Take g= 10m/s2 [Refer to TB page 139 Q2] A. u = 40m/s ; a = –10 m/s2 (negative sign because going up) SESSION 2. UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION AND FREE FALL 40

v= 0 m/s (at top) 41 s=h= ? ; t = ? Let us take the formula v2 – u2 = 2as. We have, 02 –(40)2 = 2 x (–10) x h –1600 = –20 h H = 1600 / 20 = 80 Maximum height reached = 80 m (ii) From the formula, v = u + at we have, 0 = 40 – g x t (When thrown upwards g is negative.) –40 = –10 x t Total time = 4 seconds. (Time of ascent = Time of descent) Total time = time of ascent + time of descent = 4 + 4 = 8 seconds Entire time of motion = 8 seconds Or Entire time of motion (T)=2u/g=2x40/10=8s Entire time of motion is 8 seconds. At 5 seconds the body is in downward direction. u= 0 m/s, a= g= 10m/s2 , t= 5–4=1 sec v= u +at = 0 + 10×1 = 10 m/s Therefore the velocity at 5 seconds is 10 m/s downward. SESSION 2.

Q3. A ball is dropped from a height. If it takes 0.2 s to cross the last 6m before hiting the ground, find the height from which it is dropped. Take g = 10 m/s2 . [Refer to TB page 140 Q2, Try These] A. Let height from which ball is dropped = H If we consider initial velocity of ball during the last 6m distance travelled by ball = u Then using, s = ut + 1/2 at2 , where a = g (acceleration due to gravity) = 10 m/s2 , t = 0.2 s Thus 6 = 0.2 u + 0.5 × 10 × 0.04 Or, u = 29 m/s Now to acquire the velocity of 29 m/s the ball should be dropped from height ‘x’ under the influence of ‘g’ and thus we can make use the following equation. v2 – u2 = 2gs or, v2 – u2 = 2gx or, 292 = 2 × 10 × x or, x = 42.05 m Thus total height from which the ball was dropped is given by H = x + 6 or H = 42.05 + 6 = 48.05 m Q4. A ball is projected vertically up with a speed of 50 m/s. Find the maximum height, the time to reach maximum height and the speed at the maximum height.

Find the free–fall acceleration of an object on the surface of the moon, if the radius of the moon and its mass are 1740 km and 7.4 x 1022 kg respectively. Compare this value with free–fall acceleration of a body on the surface of the earth. [Refer to TB page 140 Q3, Try These] A. Let, m= 7.4×1022 kg r= 1740km = 1740×103 m SESSION 2. UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION AND FREE FALL 43

G= 6.673×10-11 Nm2 kg-2 (Constant value) We know that, gm = Gm/r2 gm = (6.673×10−11)(7.4×1022) (1740×103)2 gm = 1.630 m/s2 Now, ge = 9.8 m/s2 (free–fall acceleration of earth) Therefore, gm = 1.630 = 1 ge 9.8 6 This shows that free–fall acceleration of moon is 1/6th of earth’s free–fall acceleration. Q7. The bob of a simple pendulum of length 1 m has mass 100 g and a speed of 1.4 m/s at the lowest point in its path. Find the tension in the string at this moment. [Refer to TB page 140 Q5, Try These] A. Mass of the bob = 100g= 0.1kg Length of the string = 1m Speed of the bob, v= 1.4m/s Let the tension in the string be T. The forces acting on the bob are a) Weight of the bob mg, downwards b) Tension in the string ‘T’ upwards Weight of the bob, F = mv2 l Tension in the string T= g cos T Therefore according to Newton’s third law SESSION 2.

T = mv2 + mgcosθ l T = m( v2 + g cosθ) l = 0.1( 1.4×1.4 + 9.8 × cos0o) 1 = 0.1 × (1.96 +9.8) = 0.1 × 11.76 = 1.176 N 2.6 Asking Questions and Making Hypothesis Q1. What path will the moon take when the gravitational interaction between the moon and earth disappears? [Refer to TB page 139 Q7] A. If the gravitational interaction between earth and moon disappears, then the moon will travel in a direction tangential to its orbit, since there shall be no centripetal force acting on it. Q2. Can you think of two particles which do not exert gravitational force on each other? [Refer to TB page 139 Q8] A. No, everything in the universe exerts a force on everything else even if infinitesimally small. SESSION 2. UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION AND FREE FALL 45

He throws twice in a second. Time of ascent of first ball is 1/2sec. After 1/2 sec, the first ball starts to fall down and the second ball starts from ground. Let the distance travelled = s meters, Initial velocity = u m/s Time of ascent (t1 ) = 1/2 sec t1 = u ⇒ 1 = u ⇒ u= 5 m/s g 2 10 Distance travelled in 1/2 is S = ut + 1 gt2 2 S = 5 × (1/2) + 10×(1/2)2 2 = 5 + 5 2 4 = 15 m 4 They reach a height of 15/4 meters SESSION 2.
