Q 1 :    

A vector has magnitude same as that of A=3i^+4j^ and is parallel to B=4i^+3j^. The x and y components of this vector in first quadrant are x and 3 respectively where x= _________ .                    [2024]



(4)    Given A=3i+4j, B=4i+3j,

         |A|=32+42=5, B^=4i+3j5,B|B|=B^

         Now, as per question, C=|A|B^, mag of A and direction of B

         =(5)(4i+3j)5=4i+3j,4i+3j,          x=4

 



Q 2 :    

The position vector of a moving body at any instant of time is given as r=(5t2i^5tj^) m. The magnitude and direction of velocity at t = 2 s is,           [2025]

  • 515 m/s, making an angle of tan1 4 with –ve Y axis

     

  • 515 m/s, making an angle of tan1 4 with +ve X axis

     

  • 517 m/s, making an angle of tan1 4 with –ve Y axis

     

  • 517 m/s, making an angle of tan1 4 with +ve X axis

     

(3)

r=5t2i^5j^

v=10ti^5j^

v=20i^5j^ at t=2 sec

|v|=517 m/s

tanθ=205=4

θ=tan1 4 with –ve Y-axis



Q 3 :    

A light wave is propagating with plane wave fronts of the type x + y + z = constant. The angle made by the direction of wave propagation with the x-axis is:          [2025]

  • cos1(13)

     

  • cos1(23)

     

  • cos1(13)

     

  • cos1(23)

     

(1)

Direction of propagation A=i^+j^+k^

The direction of propagation of light is perpendicular to the wave front and is symmetric about x, y and z-axis.

Direction cosine associated with x-axis,

cosα=(AxAx2+Ay2+Az2)

cos α=(11+1+1)  α=cos1(13)
