Class 11 Physics Chapter 2 Short Questions with Answers
Can you add a zero to a null vector?
As zero is a scalar and null is a vector. So, they can never be added because physical quantities of different nature cannot be added.
Two vectors have unequal magnitudes. Can their sum be zero?
No, their sum cannot be zero. Their sum will only be zero if both the vectors have the same magnitudes but opposite directions.
A picture is suspended from a wall by two strings. Show by diagram the configuration of the strings for which the tension in the strings will be minimal.
If ‘W’ is the weight of the picture and “T” is the tension in the strings making angle “q” horizontal as the picture is in the equilibrium, then the relation for the tension in the string will be
T sinq + Tsinq = W
2Tsinq = W
T = W/2sinq
For minimum tension
q = 900
T = W/2sin90 = 1/2W
Thus the strings should be vertical to be under minimum tension. The configuration is shown in the figure.
Can a body rotate about its centre of gravity under the action of its weight?
The torque produced in a body given by
i = r x F
i = rFsinq
As the weight acts at the centre of gravity. So, the moment arm is zero,
i = (0)Fsinq
i = 0
Thus a body cannot rotate about its center of gravity under the action of its weight.
Define equal vector and position vector.
Equal vector:
Two vectors are said to be equal if they have the same magnitudes and directions, regardless of the position of their initial points. This means that parallel vectors of the same magnitude are equal.
Position vector:
The vector which indicates the position of a body with respect to the origin is called the position vector.
