Time Allowed: 3 Hours Max Marks: 250
Question number 1 & 5 are compulsory . Attempt any three other questions .
Q1 (a) Show that in case of an elastic and glancing collision between two particles of masses
𝑚1 and 𝑚2 the maximum value of scattering angle 𝜃1 in the lab frame corresponds to scattering
𝑚
angle in C M frame 𝜃, where 𝜃 = 𝐶𝑜𝑠 −1 (− 𝑚2 ). Also show that maximum value of
1
−1⁄
𝑚12 2
𝜃1 = 𝑇𝑎𝑛−1 [ 2 − 1]
𝑚2
(b) A Particle moves in a circular orbit under the action of a force f (r) = - k / 𝑟 2 . If k is suddenly
reduced to half its original value, show that the particle would move along a parabola.

(c) A particle of rest mass 𝑚𝑜 and velocity 5 collides with other particle of rest mass 𝑚𝑜 at rest
and coalesce together. What is the velocity and rest mass of the combined particle.

(d) What is the need for multi stage rockets? If the maximum exhaust velocity of a rocket is 2
𝑀
km/sec. Calculate the rates 𝑀𝑜 for it, if it is to attain escape velocity of 11.2 km/sec.

(e) Determine the speed of an electron of energy 1.3 MeV and derive 𝑝𝜇2 = −𝑚𝑜2 𝐶 2 , where all
terms have their usual meaning. ( 10 × 5 = 50 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑠 )

(b) The sun radiates energy at the rate of 4 × 1026 Joule per second. Calculate the rate at which
its mass is decreasing.

(c) Derive expression for the potential and field due to a solid sphere of uniform density at an (i)
internal (ii) external point.

(d) Show that total kinetic energy of a system of particles about any point equals the K. E of the
centre of mass plus the K.E of motion about centre of mass. ( 10 + 10 + 15 + 15 = 50 Marks )

flask of cross-section A. Initially, there is water in the flask up to a height ℎ1 . What time would
be required for the height to reduce to ℎ2 , if η be the viscosity of water.
