Image
🌀 Centroid of a Circular Plate with a Hole | System of Particles | JEE Physics | Doubtify JEE ❓ Question: A circular hole of radius (a/2) is cut out of a circular disc of radius ‘a’ , as shown in the figure. What will be the position of the centroid of the remaining circular portion with respect to point ‘O’ ? 🖼️ Question Image: 🧠 Solution Image: ✍️ Detailed Explanation: To solve this problem, we apply the concept of mass moment (or area moment) . When a portion is cut out from a symmetric object, we use the principle of superposition — treat the hole as a negative mass or negative area. Let’s break it down: 🧮 Step 1: Assume mass per unit area = σ Area of full disc = πa² Area of hole = π(a/2)² = (πa²)/4 Remaining area = πa² – (πa²)/4 = (3πa²)/4 🧮 Step 2: Find centroid of each part Full disc’s centroid = At origin (O) Hole’s centroid is at a distance of a/2 from O along the radius. 🧮 Step 3: Apply formula for center of mass (COM): Let x be the position of the c...

  📈 Acceleration as a Function of Distance – Motion in One Dimension | JEE Physics | Doubtify JEE 🧮 Question: The distance x covered by a particle in one-dimensional motion varies with time t as: x² = at² + 2bt + c . If the acceleration of the particle depends on x as x⁻ⁿ , where n is an integer, what is the value of n ? 🖼️ Question Image: ✅ Detailed Concept & Solution: This is a JEE-level conceptual problem involving the relation between distance, velocity, and acceleration — with a twist of functional dependence. We are given: x² = at² + 2bt + c — (1) To find acceleration and its dependency on x , let’s differentiate both sides of equation (1): Differentiate w.r.t. time t : 2x(dx/dt) = 2at + 2b ⇒ v = dx/dt = (at + b)/x — (2) Now differentiate velocity v w.r.t time to find acceleration: a = dv/dt = d/dt[(at + b)/x] Use quotient rule: a = [a·x - (at + b)(dx/dt)] / x² Plug dx/dt = (at + b)/x from (2): a = [a·x - (at + b)·((at + b)/x)] / x² ⇒ ...

  🚴 Velocity-Displacement Graph of a Bicycle | Find the Acceleration-Displacement Graph | Motion in 1D – Doubtify JEE 📌 Question : The velocity-displacement graph describing the motion of a bicycle is shown in the figure. What will the corresponding acceleration-displacement graph look like? 🎯 Concept Tested: This question tests your graphical understanding of motion — a frequently asked and often misunderstood area in JEE Mains and Advanced . It focuses on converting one type of graph (v-s) into another (a-s) using calculus concepts. 🔍 How to Approach: If you're given a velocity-displacement (v-s) graph , and you need to find the acceleration-displacement (a-s) graph , you must apply: a = v ⋅ d v d s a = v \cdot \frac{dv}{ds} This is derived from the chain rule: a = d v d t = d v d s ⋅ d s d t = v ⋅ d v d s a = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{dv}{ds} \cdot \frac{ds}{dt} = v \cdot \frac{dv}{ds} Depending on the slope of the v-s graph: If velocity increases with displaceme...

🧪 Question: The ratio of mass percent of C and H of an organic compound (CxHyOz) is 6:1. If one molecule of the above compound contains half as much oxygen as required to burn one molecule of compound CxHy completely to CO₂ and H₂O, then what is the empirical formula of the compound? 📌 Why This Question is Important: This question combines two highly testable concepts in JEE Chemistry – combustion analysis and empirical formula derivation . You’re not only working with mass percent ratio , but also applying oxygen balancing logic in a combustion reaction. Such questions are frequently seen in organic chemistry chapters , particularly under Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry and Stoichiometry . Mastering this helps you crack more complex analysis-based questions in JEE Mains and even Advanced . 💡 Concept Used: To find the empirical formula , we first convert the mass percent ratio of C and H into moles , assuming 100 g of substance.

     🧲 Solutions  | Chemistry  |  Doubtify JEE 🧮 Question: The density of the NaOH solution is 1.2 g/cm³. What is the molality of the solution? 🖼️ Question Image: ⚗️ Concept Overview: This is a fundamental problem from the Solutions chapter of Physical Chemistry. It tests your understanding of molality , density , and the method of converting between different concentration units. In many JEE Main and Advanced problems, students get confused between molality (mol/kg) and molarity (mol/L) . This problem helps to eliminate that confusion and improve conceptual clarity. 🧠 Step-by-Step Explanation: Let’s assume we are working with 1000 cm³ = 1 L of NaOH solution. Density = 1.2 g/cm³ So, total mass of 1 L solution = 1.2   g/cm³ × 1000   cm³ = 1200   g 1.2 \, \text{g/cm³} \times 1000 \, \text{cm³} = 1200 \, \text{g} Let’s say the solution is x% NaOH by mass (you may be given the percentage or molarity in the full version of the question – for no...
