1.

A person is driving a vehicle at uniform speed of 5 ms-1 on a level curved track of radius 5 m. The coefficient of static friction between tyres and road is 0.1. Will the person slip while taking the turn with the same speed ? Take g = 10 ms-2.

  • A person will slip, if v2 = 5 m2s-2

  • A person will slip, if v2 > 5 m2s-2

  • A person will slip, if v2 < 5 m2s-2

  • A person will not slip, if v2 > 5 m2s-2

5.

A period of geostationary satellite is

  • 24 h

  • 12 h

  • 30 h

  • 48 h


A.

24 h

Geostationary satellite have an orbital period of exactly 1 day or 24 h. That 1s why they can always stay above the same place on the earth, as the earth also makes one turn per day.
