Two bodies having masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ and velocities $u_{1}$ and $u_{2}$ collide form a composite system. If $m_{1}$ $u_{1}$ + $m_{2}$ $u_{2}$ = ( $m_{1}$ $\neq$ $m_{2}$ ), the velocity of composite system will be

$u_{1}$ - $u_{2}$

$u_{1}$ + $u_{2}$

$\frac{u_{1} + u_{2}}{2}$

Zero

Explanation

$\begin{aligned} u_{CM} = \frac{m_{1} u_{1} + m_{2} u_{2}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} = 0 \\ as m_{1} u_{1} + m_{2} u_{2} = 0 is given. \end{aligned}$

Hence velocity of the composite system will be zero.

(0, 0, 0)

(7, 5, 7, 5, 7, 5)

Explanation

$\vec{r_{c m}} = \frac{m_{1} {\vec{r}}_{1} + m_{4} {\vec{r}}_{2}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} = \frac{60 \times (0 i + 0 j + 0 k) + 40 {\vec{r}}_{2}}{100} {\vec{r}}_{2} = \frac{5}{2} (3 i + 3 j + 3 k) = 7.5 i + 7.5 j + 7.5 k$

The position of a particle is given by: $\overset{⇀}{r} = (\hat{1} + 2 \hat{j} - \hat{k})$ and momentum $\vec{P} = (3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k})$ . The angular momentum is perpendicular to

X-axis

Y-axis

Z-axis

Line at equal angles to all the three axes

Explanation

$(a) \vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p} = |\begin{array}{ccc} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 2 & - 1 \\ 3 & 4 & - 2 \end{array}| = - \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}$

and the X-axis is given by $\hat{i} + 0 \hat{j} + 0 \hat{k}$

The dot product of these two vectors is zero i.e. angular momentum is perpendicular to X-axis.

A body falling vertically downward under gravity breaks into two parts of unequal messes. The center of mass of the parts taken together shifts horizontally towards

heavier piece

lighter piece

does not shift horizontally

depends on the vertical velocity at the time of breaking

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.

Explanation

In the absence of air resistance, the only external force acting on the body is the force of gravity. As for the breaking of the body Into two unequal parts occurs, It is purely due to Internal forces that are exerted mutually by parts of the system and cancel. Hence the center of mass continues to move In the same direction and there is no cause of shift of the centre of mass of the falling body (parts of the body after breaking) Hence choice 3 is correct.

A solid sphere, disc, and solid cylinder all Of the same mass and made up Of same material are allowed to roll down (from rest) on an inclined plane, then

Solid sphere reaches the bottom first

Solid sphere reaches the bottom late

The disc will reach the bottom first

All of them reach the bottom at the same time

Explanation

$K E = \frac{1}{2} I ω^{2}; L = I ω K E = \frac{I^{2} ω^{2}}{2 I} = \frac{L^{2}}{2 I} (K E) = \frac{L^{2}}{2 I}; (K E)' = \frac{{(\frac{110 L}{100})}^{2}}{2 I} \frac{K E' - K E}{K E} = \frac{{(\frac{110}{100})}^{2} \frac{L^{2}}{2 I} - \frac{L^{2}}{2 I}}{\frac{L^{2}}{2 I}} = \frac{121}{100} - 1 = \frac{21}{100} \frac{21}{100} \times 100 = 21 % (C h o i c e 3)$

Two rings of the same radius and mass are placed such that their centers are at a common point and their planes are perpendicular to each other. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the center and perpendicular to the plane of one of the rings is (mass of the ring and radius = r)

$\frac{1}{2} {mr}^{2}$

The angular velocity of a body changes from $\frac{1}{25}$ rev./sec to 1 rev./sec. without applying any torque. The ratio of its radius of gyration in two situations is :

5: 1

1: 5

1: 25

25: 1

Explanation

$I_{1} ω_{1} = I_{2} ω_{2}, o r M K_{1}^{2} (2 π n_{1}) = M K_{2}^{2} (2 π n_{2}) \Rightarrow \frac{K_{1}^{2}}{K_{2}^{2}} = \frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}} \Rightarrow \frac{K_{1}}{K_{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}} = \frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{25}}} = \frac{5}{1}$

A solid cylinder and a solid sphere both having the same mass and radius, are released from a rough inclined plane. Both roll without slipping. Then,

the force of friction that acts on the two is the same

the force of friction is greater in case of a sphere than for a cylinder

the force of friction is greater in case of a cylinder than for a sphere

the force of friction will depend on the nature of the surface of the body that is moving and that of the inclined surface and is independent of the shape and size of the moving body

Explanation

$In case of pure rolling . Force of friction f = \frac{mg \sin θ}{1 + (\frac{{mR}^{2}}{I})}$

Since a moment of inertia of disc is more, the force of friction on cylinder will be more.
