Question 221

JEE Main 2025• Physics Section B

Two soap bubbles of radius 2 cm and 4 cm, respectively, are in contact with each other. The radius of curvature of the common surface, in cm, is ______ . 

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: 4Answer: 4

Why this answer is correct

Concept

  • Due to surface tension, pressure on the concave side of the soap bubble, liquid drop, etc is greater than the pressure on the convex side of them.
  • This is why pressure inside the liquid drops, the air bubbles are greater than the pressure outside.

The excess pressure inside a liquid drop is given by:

P=2TRP= {2T \over R}

where T is the surface tension and R is the radius of drop.

Calculation:

r = r1⋅r2r1−r2=2⋅44−2\frac{r_{1} \cdot r_{2}}{r_{1}-r_{2}}=\frac{2 \cdot 4}{4-2} = 4cm

Question 222

JEE Main 2025• Physics Section B

The driver sitting inside a parked car is watching vehicles approaching from behind with the help of his side view mirror, which is a convex mirror with radius of curvature R = 2 m. Another car approaches him from behind with a uniform speed of 90 km/hr. When the car is at a distance of 24 m from him, the magnitude of the acceleration of the image of the side view mirror is ‘a’. The value of 100a is ______ m/s2.

Answer: 8Answer: 8

Why this answer is correct

Calculation: 

v = ufu−f=−24⋅1−24−1=2425\frac{\mathrm{uf}}{\mathrm{u}-\mathrm{f}}=\frac{-24 \cdot 1}{-24-1}=\frac{24}{25}

m = −vu=−2425(−24)=125\frac{-\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{u}}=-\frac{24}{25(-24)}=\frac{1}{25}

1v−1u=1f\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}}

\(\mathrm{v}{\mathrm{I}}=-\mathrm{m}^{2} \cdot \mathrm{v}{0}=\frac{-1}{(25)^{2}} \cdot 25=\frac{-1}{25}\)

Diff. 

\(\frac{-1}{\mathrm{v}^{2}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right)+\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}^{2}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{du}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right)=0 \quad\left[\frac{\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{v}{\mathrm{I}} ; \frac{\mathrm{du}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{v}{0}\right]\)

\(\frac{+2}{\mathrm{v}^{3}} \cdot\left(\mathrm{v}{\mathrm{I}}\right)^{2}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}^{2}} \cdot \mathrm{a}{\mathrm{I}}-\frac{2}{\mathrm{u}^{3}} \cdot\left(\mathrm{v}{0}\right)^{2}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}^{2}} \cdot \mathrm{a}{0}=0\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{a}{\mathrm{I}}}{\mathrm{v}^{2}}=\frac{2}{\mathrm{v}^{3}} \cdot \mathrm{v}{\mathrm{I}}^{2}-\frac{2}{\mathrm{u}^{3}} \cdot \mathrm{v}_{0}^{2}\)

\(\mathrm{a}{\mathrm{I}}=\frac{2}{\mathrm{v}} \cdot \mathrm{v}{\mathrm{I}}^{2}-\frac{2 \mathrm{v}^{2}}{\mathrm{u}^{3}} \cdot \mathrm{v}_{0}^{2}\)

aI=224.25−224\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{I}}=\frac{2}{24.25}-\frac{2}{24}

aI=224⋅−2425=−225\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{I}}=\frac{2}{24} \cdot \frac{-24}{25}=\frac{-2}{25}

Answer: 40Answer: 40

Why this answer is correct

Calculation:

\(\mathrm{R}{1}=\frac{2 \mathrm{~L}}{\mathrm{~K}{1} \mathrm{~A}}\)

\(\mathrm{R}{2}=\frac{2 \mathrm{~L}}{\mathrm{~K}{2} \mathrm{~A}}\)

\(\mathrm{R}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{~K}{3} \mathrm{~A}}\)

\(\frac{θ-100}{\frac{\mathrm{R}{1} \mathrm{R}{2}}{\mathrm{R}{1}+\mathrm{R}{2}}}+\frac{θ-0}{\mathrm{R}_{3}}=0\)

∴ θ = 40

Answer: 90Answer: 90

Why this answer is correct

Calculation:

VA=(2ti^+3nj^+2k^)V_{A}=(2 t \hat{i}+3 n \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})

V⃗B=(2i^−2t^j^+4p^k^)\vec{V}_{B}=(2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{t} \hat{j}+4 \hat{p} \hat{k})

4 – 6n + 8p = 0

2 – 3n + 4p = 0

3n = 2 + 4p

 \(\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{A}}\right|=\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{B}}\right|\)

4 + 9n2 + 4 = 4 + 4 + 16p2

p = −14\frac{-1}{4} ⇒ n = 13\frac{1}{3}

\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{L}}=\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{A}}\left(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{A} / \mathrm{B}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{A}}\right)\)
