Just like the equations of motion in 1D, we get the equations of motion for rotation.
We know that s = d/t, analogous to it is 
Hence D is the correct answer.

 A mass m is moving with a constant velocity along a line parallel to the x-axis, away from the origin. Its angular momentum with respect to the origin
  • a)
    Is zero
  • b)
    Remains constant
  • c)
    Goes on increasing
  • d)
    Goes on decreasing
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
Angular momentum (L) is defined as the distance of the object from a rotation axis multiplied by the linear momentum
L = mv×y
As the particle moves, m; v; and y, all remain unchanged at any point of time
⇒ L = constant

A person standing on a rotating platform with his hands lowered outstretches his arms. The angular momentum of the person
  • a)
    becomes zero
  • b)
    decreases
  • c)
    remains constant
  • d)
    inreases
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Suresh Reddy answered
Yes because there is absence of any external force or torque so angular momentum will remain constant
here outstretching the hands means internal forces are working.. so moment of inertia increases in this case and to make angular momentum constant when angular velocity decreases.

There are two objects of masses 1 kg and 2 kg located at (1, 2) and (-1, 3) respectively. The coordinates of the centre of mass are
  • a)
    ( 2, -1 )
  • b)
    ( 8/3 ,-1/3 )
  • c)
    ( -1/3 , 8/3 )
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Riya Banerjee answered
Body A has mass of 1kg and location (1,2)
Body B has mass of 2kg and location (-1,3)
mcxc = m1x1 + m2x2
(1+2) xc = (1 * 1) + (2 * -1)
xc  = -1/3
Similarly,
mcyc = m1y1 + m2y2
(1 + 2) yc = (1 * 2) + (2 * 3)
yc= 8/3
Hence, the coordinates of the center of mass are (-1/3, 8/3).

A right triangular plate ABC of mass m is free to rotate in the vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis through A. It is supported by a string such that the side AB is horizontal. The reaction at the support A is :
                
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
    mg
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Crafty Classes answered
The distance of Centre Of Mass of the given right angled triangle is 2L/3​ along BA and L/3​ along AC from the point B.
Force of magnitude mg is acting downwards at its COM.
Moment balance around B gives:
mg(2L/3​)−FA​(L)=0
(Moment=  × =rFsin(θ)=F(rsin(θ))=Fr⊥​)
∴FA​=2​mg/3

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjali Iyer answered
Potter’s wheel is an example of rotary motion. Rotary motion is that kind of motion in which body of the mass moves along a circular path about an axis which remains fixed.

An engine develops a power of 360 kw, when rotating at 30 revolutions per second. The Torque required to deliver this power is
  • a)
    191.08 Nm
  • b)
    19108 Nm
  • c)
    1910.8 Nm

Preeti Iyer answered
The power delivered by the torque τ exerted on rotating body is given by
P=τω or τ=P/ω
Here P=360KW=360000 Watt
ω=30 x 2π rad/sec,
ω=60π rad/sec
now,
τ=360000 /60×3.14Nm
τ= 1910.8 Nm

A body is moving with a constant speed v in a circle of radius r. What is the angular acceleration?
  • a)
    α = vt/r
  • b)
    α = vr/t
  • c)
    α = v/rt
  • d)
    α = 0
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

When a body performs circular motion it has got two accelerations radial acc. And tangential acc. Radial acc. Is responsible for changing the direction of velocity of body but tangential acc. Is responsible for changing the magnitide of velocity of body. As the body is moving with constant speed so tangential acc. Is zero. As we know that tangential acc. = radius * angular acc. So angular acc.is zero.

A circus acrobat while performing spins brings his limbs closer to the body. Due to this
  • a)
    Moment of inertia increases and angular velocity increases
  • b)
    Moment of inertia decreases and angular velocity decreases
  • c)
    Moment of inertia increases and angular velocity decreases
  • d)
    Moment of inertia decreases and angular velocity increases
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Akshay Shah answered
While in the pike position the body decreases in radius as each segment moves closer to the axis of rotation, resulting in angular velocity increasing and a decrease of moment of inertia. Thus, during a dive, angular momentum is constant meaning that moment of inertia is inversely proportional to angular velocity.

Two rings have their moment of inertia in the ratio 2:1 and their diameters are in the ratio 2:1. The ratio of their masses will be:
  • a)
    1:2
  • b)
    2:1
  • c)
    1:4

Suresh Reddy answered
We know that MI of a ring is mr2
Where m is mass of the ring and r is its radius
When we have ratio of I = 2:1
And ratio of r = 2:1
We get ratio of r2 = 4:1
Thus to make this ratio 2:1 , that ratio of masses must be 1:2

    4:1
  • b)
    1:3
  • c)
    2:1
  • d)
    8:1
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
Given,
Mass of A=1,
Mass of B=2.
diameter if A=2,
diameter if B=1.
radius (r) of A=d/2=2/2=1.
radius (r) of B=d/2=1/2.
we know ,
moment of inertia of disc=MR2/2.
moment of inertia (I)of A/moment of inertia (I)of B=MR2/2/MR2/2.
(I) of A/(I) of B=1×12/2/2×(1/2)2/2.
=1×1/2/2×(1/4)/2.
=1/2/(1/2)/2.
=1/2/1/4.
=4/2.
=2/1.

When external forces acting on a body are zero, then its centre of mass

    moves with uniform velocity
  • c)
    either remains stationary or moves with uniform velocity
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Naina Sharma answered
When force acting upon the body results zero, the resulting acceleration due to net force applied is also zero, and hence by the law of inertia the motion of the body either at rest or constant velocity wont change.

There are some passengers inside a stationary railway compartment. The centre of masses of the compartment itself(without the passengers) is C1, while the centre of mass of the compartment plus passengers’ system is C2. if the passengers moves about inside the compartment
  • a)
    both C1 and C2 will move with respect to the ground
  • b)
    neither C1 nor C2 will move with respect to the ground
  • c)
    C1 will move but C2 will be stationary with respect to the ground
  • d)
    C2 will move but C1 will be stationary with respect to the ground
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
When net Fexternal​=0, then the centre of mass of the system remains at rest.
Thus if the passenger move inside the compartment which donot require any external force, so the centre of mass of the "passenger + compartment" system must remain at rest and hence C2​ will be fixed w.r.t ground.
Also due to the movement of the passenger, the position of centre of mass of the passengers only will change, thus C1​ will have to move in such a way that C2​ may remain fixed w.r.t ground.

A small cylinder rolling with a velocity v along a horizontal surface encounters a smooth inclined surface. The height ‘h’ up to which the cylinder will ascend is
  • a)
    3v2/4g
  • b)
    v2/2g
  • c)
    3v2/2g
  • d)
    v2/4g
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Shreya Gupta answered
A body can roll along a surface only if the surface is rough. The body will roll up to the foot of the inclined smooth surface. It will continue to spin with the angular speed it has acquired, and will slide up to a certain height, maintaining its spin motion throughout the smooth surface. Its translational kinetic energy alone is responsible for its upward motion along the smooth incline so that the height up to which it will rise is given by 

A rigid body is rotating about an axis. Different particles are at different distances from the axis. Which of the following is true?
  • a)
    Different particles possess the same angular acceleration
  • b)
    Different particles possess the same angular velocity
  • c)
    Different particles possess the same linear acceleration
  • d)
    Different particles possess the same linear velocity.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Suresh Reddy answered
In the fixed axis rotation we see that every point on the body has two components of velocity, one in the radial direction and one in the tangential direction. The resultant of these velocities is not the same for any two points lying in the plane of the body. 
Any two points on the radial line have the radial acceleration directed towards the center of equal magnitude and the tangential acceleration of equal magnitude as well. Thus option B is correct.
All the particles lying on the curved surface of a cylinder whose axis coincides with the axis of rotation have the same speed but different velocities.

A solid sphere and a hollow sphere of the same mass have the same moments of inertia about their respective diameters, the ratio of their radii is

    (5)1/2 : (3)1/2 
  • b)
     (3)1/2 : (5)1/2
  • c)
    3 : 2
  • d)
    2 : 3
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
We know moment of inertia of solid sphere Is​=2​/5ms​Rs2​ and 
moment of inertia of hollow sphere IH​=2/3​mH​RH2 ​As per question Is​=IH​
Now,
2/5​ms​Rs2​=2/3​mH​RH2​
as the masses are equal the ratio of their radii will be 
​Rs2 /RH2 ​​=2/3​/​2/5​=√5/3​​=(5)1/2: (3)1/2

A disc of radius b and mass m rolls down an inclined plane of vertical height h. the translational speed when it reaches the bottom of the plane will be 
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
The difference in the potential of the body when it rolls down through a vertical height h, is mgh.
As the KE at the top point is zero and let say KE at bottom is ½ mv2 + ½ Iw2
Where m is its mass, I is its moment of inertia, I = ½ mr2
Where r is its radius, v is its gained translational speed and w is its gained angular speed.
w = v/r
Hence equating PE and KE gives
mgh = ½ mv2 + ½ Iw2
That is mgh = ½ mv2 + ½ mr2.(v/r)2
We get mgh = ½  mv2 + ¼  mv
Thus we get v = √gh/3

    -25 
  • b)
    -7 
  • c)
    25 
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Anaya Patel answered
A uniform circular disc of radius 50 cm at rest is free to turn about an axis having perpendicular to its plane and passes through its centre. This situation can be shown by the figure given below:

Therefore,
Angular acceleration = α = 2 rad/s2
Angular speed, ω = αt = 4 rad/s
Centripetal acceleration, ac = ω2r
42 x 0.5
=16 x 0.5
= 8m/s2
Linear acceleration at the end of 2 s is,
at = αt = 2 x 0.5 = 1 m/s2
Therefore, the net acceleration at the end of 2.0 sec is given by 

A rigid body is one
  • a)
    the sum of distances of all particles from the axis remains constant
  • b)
    in which the distance between all pairs of particles remains fixed
  • c)
    whose centre of mass follows a parabolic path
  • d)
    that deforms and comes back to its original shape after getting deformed
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
A body is said to be a rigid body if the body remains in its original shape even under the influence of external force. We can also say that if distance between two points of the body does not change with time regardless of external forces exerted on it, then the body is said to be a rigid body.

    velocity
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
Angular Momentum is conserved
Mvr = constant
We can say that v is proportional to 1/r. When satellite stays near earth then velocity of the satellite is maximum.

We know that for a disc of mass m and radius r
MI of a disc about its diameter = mr2/4 = 2
And also MI about a point on its rim = mr2/4 + mr2
= 5mr2/4
= 5 x 2 = 10

A mixer grinder rotates clockwise, its angular velocity will be :

    zero
  • b)
    negative
  • c)
    uniform but not zero
  • d)
    positive
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashish Roy answered
**Explanation:**

A mixer grinder is a device that is used for grinding and mixing various ingredients. It consists of a motor and a set of blades that rotate at high speeds to perform the grinding and mixing tasks. When the mixer grinder is turned on, the motor starts rotating the blades in a clockwise direction.

**Angular Velocity:**
Angular velocity is a measure of how quickly an object rotates or moves around a central point. It is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time. The direction of the angular velocity is determined by the direction of rotation. In the case of a mixer grinder rotating clockwise, the angular velocity will be negative.

**Direction of Angular Velocity:**
The direction of angular velocity is determined by the right-hand rule. According to the right-hand rule, if the fingers of the right hand curl in the direction of rotation, the thumb will point in the direction of the angular velocity vector. In the case of a mixer grinder rotating clockwise, the fingers of the right hand curl in the clockwise direction, and the thumb points in the opposite direction, which is counterclockwise or negative.

**Significance of Negative Angular Velocity:**
A negative angular velocity indicates that the object is rotating in the opposite direction compared to the conventional positive direction. In the case of a mixer grinder, a negative angular velocity means that the blades are rotating counterclockwise when viewed from above. This counterclockwise rotation is necessary for the blades to effectively grind and mix the ingredients.

**Conclusion:**
In conclusion, a mixer grinder rotates clockwise, which means its angular velocity will be negative. The negative angular velocity indicates that the blades are rotating counterclockwise when viewed from above, allowing them to efficiently perform the grinding and mixing tasks.

An automobile engine develops 100H.P. when rotating at a speed of 1800 rad/min. The torque it delivers is
  • a)
    3.33 W-s
  • b)
    200W-s
  • c)
    248.7 W-s
  • d)
    2487 W-s
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

100 HP = 74570 W or 74.57 KW Now, P = 2*π*N*T/60 where, P is the power (in W), N is the operating speed of the engine (in r.p.m.) and T is the Torque (in N.m). Therefore, 74570 = 2*π*1800*T/60 i.e. T = 395.606 N.m
 

Two spheres of masses m1 and m2 (m1>m2) respectively are tied to the ends of a light, inextensible string which passes over a light frictionless pulley. When the masses are released from their initial state of rest, the acceleration of their centre of mass is:
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sushil Kumar answered
If, r1 and r2 are position vectors of the centres of the positional vector of their centre of mass is given by R=(m1r1+m2r2)/ (m1 + m2)
R= (m1r2+m2r2)/m1+m2)
The acceleration of the centre of mass is given by:
A=d2R/dt
= [m1 d2r/dt+m2 d2r/dt2 ]/(m1+m2)
But, d2r1/dt2 and d2r2/dt2 are the accelerations of masses m1 and m2
Have the same magnitude (m1-m2)/(m1+m2) g
If we take acceleration of [m1(m1-m2)/ (m1+m2)g – m2(m1-m2)/ (m1+m2)/]/ (m1+m2)
On simplifying that we get,
a=[(m1-m2)/ (m1+m2)]2 g
