π¦(π₯)=ππ₯ 2+ππ₯+π ?
(Here a, b, and c are constants; x, y are the position coordinates)
π¦(π₯)=ππ₯ 2+ππ₯+π ?
(Here a, b, and c are constants; x, y are the position coordinates)
- Projectile motion in a uniform gravitational field
- Simple harmonic motion
- Uniform circular motion
- Motion on an inclined plane in a uniform gravitational field
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The given equation represents a quadratic function of x, which suggests a parabolic trajectory. This is characteristic of projectile motion under the influence of gravity, where the path traced by an object is parabolic if the acceleration due to gravity is constant and the object is projected with some initial velocity.
Thus, the correct answer is (A) Projectile motion in a uniform gravitational field.

In an oscillating spring mass system, a spring is connected to a box filled with sand. As the box oscillates, sand leaks slowly out of the box vertically so that the average frequency Γβ°(t) and average amplitude A(t) of the system change with time t.

At a particular temperature T, Planck's energy density of black body radiation in terms of frequency is \(\rho_T(\nu) = 8 \times 10^{-18} \text{ J/m}^3 \text{ Hz}^{-1}\) at \(\nu = 3 \times 10^{14}\) Hz. Then Planck's energy density \(\rho_T(\lambda)\) at the corresponding wavelength (\(\lambda\)) has the value \rule{1cm}{0.15mm} \(\times 10^2 \text{ J/m}^4\). (in integer)
[Speed of light \(c = 3 \times 10^8\) m/s]
(Note: The unit for \(\rho_T(\nu)\) in the original problem was given as J/mΒ³, which is dimensionally incorrect for a spectral density. The correct unit J/(mΒ³Β·Hz) or JΒ·s/mΒ³ is used here for the solution.)- IIT JAM PHY - 2025
