Initially A is much above the centre of mass and B much below the centre of mass of the cabin. A close observation of the motion of A and B will reveal that : (A) both A and B continue to be exactly at rest relative to the cabin (B*) A moves slowly upward and B moves slowly downward relative to the cabin (C) both A and B fall to the bottom of the cabin with constant acceleration due to gravity (D) A and B move slightly towards each other vertically.

An electron collides with a free molecules initially in its ground state. The collision leaves the molecule in a excited state that is metastable and does not decay to the ground state by radiation. Let K be the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the electron and the molecule and P the sum of their initial momenta. Let K and " P' represent the same physical quantities after the collision.

A rectangular loop of wire shown below is coplanar with a long wire carrying current I .

Ans.

The loop is pulled to the right as indicated .What are the directions of the induced current in the loop and the magnetic forces on the left and the right sides of the loop ? Inducded Current Force on left side Force on right side (A). Counterclockwise To the left To the right (B). Clockwise To the left To the right (C). Counter clockwise To the right To the left (D). Clockwise To the right To the left (B)

Sol. As loop in pulled to right, there free downward magenetic field is decrease. So, induce emf induced as to oppose the decrement of magnetic field. Therefore directions of the induced current in the loop is clock wise and force on left side of loop is toward left and force on right side of loop is towards right 99.
