JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 10

A solid cylinder of mass m and radius r is rolling on a rough inclined plane of inclination q. The coefficient of friction between the cylinder and incline is m. Then

 [JEE' 2006]

Detailed Solution for JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 10

Here, mg sin θ drags the cylinder downwards. Thus, the friction acts upwards and hence opposes translation. Since it is the friction alone which creates a torque about CM (centre of mass) for rotation (anticlockwise), it supports rotation.


On decreasing the value of θ, the frictional force f also decreases.

*Multiple options can be correct
JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 11

A ball moves over a fixed track as shown in the figure. From A to B the ball rolls without slipping. Surface BC is frictionless. KA, KB and KC are kinetic energies of the ball at A, B and C, respectively. Then

[JEE' 2006]

             

Detailed Solution for JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 11

Using conservation of energy, we can write the following:
EA ​= mghA​ + K​A(1)
EB​ = KB​(2)
EC ​= mghC ​+ KC​(3)

Since EA ​= EB ​= EC​, we have the following:
KB​ > KA​
KB ​> KC​
From Eqs. (1) and (3), we get
EA ​− EC​ = 0
That is,
mg (hA​ − hC​) + [KA​ − KC​] = 0

From kinetic energy KB​, only translational part gets converted into potential energy at point C, we get hC ​< hA​. Therefore, KC ​> KA​

[JEE' 2007]

Detailed Solution for JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 15

We need to calculate the loss of kinetic energy when two discs with moments of inertia III and 2I2I2I rotate together on a common axis after being imparted with different angular velocities.

Step 1: Initial Kinetic Energy of Each Disc
Disc A:

  • Moment of inertia I
  • Angular velocity 2ω
  • Rotational kinetic energy:

Disc B:

Total Initial Kinetic Energy:
 
Step 2: Final Kinetic Energy After Interaction

When the discs come together and rotate with a common angular velocity, the angular momentum is conserved.

  • Initial Angular Momentum:

  • Final Angular Momentum (since the discs rotate together):

  • Using the conservation of angular momentum:

  • Final Kinetic Energy:

Step 3: Loss of Kinetic Energy

The loss in kinetic energy is:

[JEE' 2007]

                        

Detailed Solution for JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 16

Concept:

  • Law of conservation of mechanical energy: It states that the total mechanical energy in a system (i.e., the sum of the potential plus kinetic energies) remains constant as long as the only forces acting are conservative forces.

Formula:

K.Ei + P.Ei = K.Ef  + P.Ef

where, K.E= initial kinetic energy, P.Ei = initial potential energy, K.Ef = final kinetic energy, P.Ef = final potentila energy.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the rolling object is converted into potential energy at the height

h=  3v2/4g

So by the law of conservation of mechanical energy, we have

Hence the object is Disc.

JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 17

Statement - 1: If there is no external torque on a body about its center of mass, then the velocity of the center of mass remains constant

because

Statement - 2: The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.

[JEE 2007]

Detailed Solution for JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 17

The velocity of centre of mass remains constant if no external force acts on the body. 

External torque (τ = r × F) can be zero if F is finite but vectors r × F are parallel to each other. Hence statement 1 is false. Also Linear momentum is always conserved.

JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 18

Statement - 1: Two cylinders, one hollow (metal) and the other solid (wood) with the same mass and identical dimensions are simultaneously allowed to roll without slipping down an inclined plane from the same height. The hollow cylinder will reach the bottom of the inclined plane first.

Statement - 2: By the principle of conservation of energy, the total kinetic energies of both the cylinders are identical when they reach the bottom of the incline.

[JEE-2008]

Detailed Solution for JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 18

acceleration = a ∙ [(gsinθ) / {1 + (ICM / mR2)}]

For hollow cylinder ICM = mR2 = Ih

Solid cylinder ICM = [(mR2) / ∝] = Is 

i.e Ih > Is 

hence ah < as 

hence solid cylinder will reach bottom first.

Also

by
principle of conservation of energy.

KE at bottom = PE = mgh

hence KE is same for each cylinder at bottom (m, h same)

JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 19

If the resultant of all the external forces acting on a system of particles is zero, then from an inertial frame, one can surely say that 

[JEE 2009]

Detailed Solution for JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 19

Since it is a inertial frame the Newton's laws of motion are applicable.

So when the net force is zero, the change in linear momentum must be zero.

but we cannot conclude anything about rotational motion of the body.

JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 21

A boy is pushing a ring of mass 2 kg and radius 0.5 m with a stick as shown in the figure. The stick applies a force of 2 N on the ring and rolls it without slipping with an acceleration of 0.3 m/s2. The coefficient of friction between the ground and ring is large enough that rolling always occurs and the coefficient of friction between the stick and the ring is (P/10). The value of P is?

[JEE 2011]

                   


Detailed Solution for JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 21

Under the influence of the force of stick (2N), the point of contact O of the ring with ground tends to slide. But the frictional force f2 does not allow this and cretes a torque which starts rolling the ring. A frictjion forve f1 also acts between the ring & the stick. Applying F ≠ t = m a in the horizontal direction. We get

JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 22

A thin uniform rod, pivoted at O is rotating in the horizontal plane with constant angular speed w, as shown in the figure. At time t = 0, small insect starts from O and moves with constant speed n with respect to the rod towards the other end. it reaches the end of the rod at t = T and stops. The angular speed of the system remains w throughout. The magnitude of the torque on the system about O, as a function of time is best represented by which plot?

[JEE 2012]

                                 

Detailed Solution for JEE Previous Year Questions: Rotational Motion - Question 22

At time t,
x = vt

Moment of inertia of the system about rotation axis (through O) is I = I0​ + m(vt)2
Where I0 ​= MI of the rod.
∴ Angular momentum at time t is
L = Iω = [I0 ​+ mv2t2
L is changing as I is increasing. An external torque is needed to change L. [If there is no torque, the rod will slow down as the MI increases.]

∴ Torque increases linearly with time. For t > T, no torque is needed.
