Question - 1

Let m be mass of particle rotating along a circular motion of radius R, L its angular momentum about the centre of circle and \(\omega\) be its uniform angular velocity. Then the kinetic energy of the particle of mass m rotating at a radius R about a fixed centre is

Question - 2

Two particles that have equal masses are connected by a thin rod (with neligible mass) and rotate about an axis through the centre of the rod and perpendicular to it. The length of the rod is increased by 13 parts in 106 because of a temperature rise. The fractional change in the angular velocity will be

  • A 26 X 10-6
  • B -26 X 10-6
  • C 13 X 10-6
  • D -13 X 10-6

Question - 3

A 300-g particle is confined to moving in a circular path of radius 25 cm. The application of a constant tangential (linear) force of 1.5 N causes the particle to decelerate from an initial speed of 8 ms-1. The magnitude of angular velocity 2 seconds after the aontinuous application of the force is

  • A 20 rad s-1
  • B 72 rad s-1
  • C 6 rad s-1
  • D 8 rad s-1

Question - 5

A particle in a condition of

  • A stable equilibrium when the potential energy has a minimum.
  • B unstable equilibrium when the potential energy has a maximum.
  • C neutral equilibrium when a small displacement causes no change in the potential energy
