HOMEWORKS

This page gives you the details of Home Works in Physics given to Class XI B by me at School.
This will serve as a ready reference in case you forget the details of home works or was absent on the day a home work was given. So, becoming absent is no more an excuse for not doing homework


This page started on 1 August 2010. Therefore, previous home-works are not available here.

Home Work for the week 2 - 7 August 2010
Solve the 1 Unit Test Question Paper correctly and submit on 9 August 2010

NUMERICAL PROBLEMS FROM PROJECTILE MOTION
I. HORIZONTAL PROJECTILE
  1. A hiker stands on the edge of a cliff 490 m above the the ground and throws a stone horizontally with an initial speed of 15 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, find the time taken by the stone to reach the ground an the speed with which it hits the ground. (Ans. 10s,99.1 m/s)
  2. A bomb is dropped from an aircraft. when it is directly above the target at a height of 1000m.  The aircraft is moving with a velocity 500 km/h. Will the bomb hit the target?. If not, by how much distance will the bomb miss the target? (Ans. No, it will hit a point 1985 m away from the target)
  3. A projectile is thrown horizontally with a velocity v from the top of a tower of height h.  Calculate the velocity of the projectile when it strikes the ground. (Ans.   v 2+ 2gh, tan = 2ghv,  is the angle with v
  4. A stone is dropped from the window of a bus moving at 60 km/h. If the window is 186 cm high, find the distance along the track which the stone moves before striking the ground. (Ans. 10.44 m)
  5. An aeroplane is flying horizontally at a height of 490 m with a velocity of 360 km/h. A bag containing ration is to be dropped to the jawans on the ground. How far from them should the bag be released so that it falls directly over them? (Ans. 1000 m)

THE STRING THEORY

INTRODUCTION String theory is a developing theory in particle physics which attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity . String Theory , sometimes called the Theory of Everything, is thought by some to be the unifying field theory Einstein sought before his death. String theory is the first mathematically sound theory that reconciles the world of the infinitesimally small, with the world we know at large. It unites Einstein’s Theory of Relativity with quantum physics and offers a potential explanation for the Big Bang. What's string theory? String theory posits that the electrons and quarks within an atom are not 0-dimensional objects, but rather 1-dimensional oscillating lines ("strings"), possessing only the dimension of length, but not height or width. The theory poses that these strings can vibrate, thus giving the observed particles their flavor , charge , mass and spin. History of String Theory Gabriele Veneziano, a research fello...

BIG BANG

Big Bang Theory - The Premise The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment. According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. What is a "singularity" and where does it come from? Well, to be honest, we don't know for sure. Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes." Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that finite matter is actually squished into infinite density (a m...

GRAND UNIFIED THEORY

GUT The term Grand Unified Theory or GUT, refers to any of several similar models in particle physics in which at high energy scales, the three gauge interactions of the Standard Model which define the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions, are merged into one single interaction characterized by a larger gauge symmetry and one unified coupling constant rather than three independent ones History : Historically, the first true GUT which was based on the simple Lie group SU(5), was proposed by Howard Georgi and Sheldon Glashow in 1974.The Georgi–Glashow model was preceded by the Semisimple Lie algebra Pati–Salam model by Abdus Salam and Jogesh Pati,who pioneered the idea to unify gauge interactions. Unification of forces and the role of supersymmetry : The renormalization group running of the three-gauge couplings has been found to nearly, but not quite, meet at the same point if the hypercharge is normalized so that it is consistent with SU(5) or SO(10) GUTs,...
