Answer» Angular impulse `=` change in angular momentum
`therefore(Jxxr_(bot))=Iomega`
where `J=` linear impulse `=(Iomega)/(r_(t))`
`=((m)((2l)/(3)).omega)/(l)`

A rod of mass 2 kg ad length 2 m is rotating about its one end `O` wth an angular velocity `omega=4rad//s`. Find angular momentum of the rod about the axis rotation.

Answer» In pure rotational motion of a rigid body, component of total angualr momentum about axis of rotation is given by
`L=Iomega=((ml^(2))/(3))omega` `(I_(0)=(ml^(3))/(3))`
Substituting the value we have,
`L=((2)(2)^(2))/(3)(4)`
`=(32)/(3)kg-m^(2)//s`
direction of this component is perperdicular to paper inwards (from right hand rule), as the rotation clockwise.

a hoop is placed on the rough surface such that it has an angular velocity `omega=4rad//s` and an angular deceleration `alpha=5rad//s^(2)` also its centre has a velocity of `v_(0)=5m//s` and a decoleration `a_(0)=2m//s^(2)` determine the magnitude of acceleration of point B at this instant.

Answer» `a_(B)=a_(0)+a_(B//0)`
here `a_(B//0)` has two components `a_(t)` (tangential acceleration) and `a_(n)` (normal acceleration)
`a_(t)=ralpha=(0.3)(5)=1.5m//s^(2)`
`a_(n)=romega^(2)=(0.3)(4)^(2)=4.8m//s^(2)`
and `a_(0)=2m//s^(2)`

`=0.5xx10xx0.8+10xx0.6=10m//s^(2)`
`alpha=(mumgcostheta)R)/((1)/(2)mR^(2))=(2mugcostheta)/(R)`
`=(2xx0.5xx10xx0.8)/(0.4)=20rad//s^(2)`
Pure rolling will start when
`v=Romega` or at `=R(omega_(0)-alphat)`
`therefore10t=0.4(54-20t)`
Solving this equation we get
`t=1.2s`

and `Tr=Ialpha=Ia/r`
ElimiN/Ating T from these equations
`Mgsintheta-Ia/r^2=Ma`
giving `a=(Mgr^2sintheta)/(I+Mr^2)`
THe initial velocity of the block up the incline is v=omegar`. Thus the distance moved by the block before stopping is
`x=v^2/(2a) =(omega^2r^2(I+Mr^2))/(2Mgr^2sintheta)=((I+Mr^2)omega^2)/(2Mgsintheta)`

Answer» Take the particle plus the sphere as the system
a. Using conservation of linear momentum, the inear speed o the combined system v is given by
`mv_0=(M+m)v or, v=(mv_0)/(M+m)` ……..i
b. Next we shall use conservation angular momentum about the centre of mass, which is to be taken at the centre of the sphere `(Mgtgtm)` Angular momentum of the particle before collsion is `mv_0(h-R).` If the system rotates with angular speed `omega` after collision, the angular momentum of the system becomes
`(2/5MR^2+mR^2)omega`
Hence, `mv_0(h-R)=(2/5 M+m)R^2omega`
or, ` omega=(mv_0(h-R))/(2/5 M+m))R^2`
c. The sphere will start roling just after the colision if
`v=omegaR i.e. (mv_0)/(M+m)=(mv_0(h-R))/(2/5M+m)R)`
giving`h=((7/5M+2m)/(M+m))R=7/5R`.

The pulley has as moment of inertia `1.6xx10^-4kg-m^2` and a radius 2.0 cm. Find a. the kinetic energy of the system as the 400 block falls thrug 50 cm b. the speed of the blcok at this instant.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::D
According to the question
`04g-T_1=00.4a`……..1
`T_2-0.2g=0.2a`……2
`(T_1-T_2)r=(la)/r`……..3
From eq. 1, 2, and 3
`rarr a=((0.4-0.2)g)/((0.4+0.2+1.6/0.4))=g/5` ltb. Therefoee b. `V=sqrt(2gh)=sqrt(2xgxx1/20`
`rarr sqrt((g/5))=sqrt((9.8/5))=1.4m/s`
a. total kinetic energy of the system
`=1/2m_1V^2+1/2m_2V^2+1/2 15^`
` =(1/2xx0.4xx1.4^2)+(1/2xx0.2xx1.4^2)+ {1/2xx(1.6/4xx1.4^2)}`
`=(0.2+0.1+0.2)(1.4)^2`
`=0.54x1.96=0.98Joule`

Figure shows two blocks of masses m and M connected bky a string pasing over a pulley. The horizontal table over which the mass m slides is smooth. The pulley has a radius r and moment of inertia I about its axis and it can freely rotte about this axis. Find the accelerationof the mass M asuming that the string does not slip on the pulley.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Acording to the equation
`Mg-T_1=Ma`…..1
`T_2=ma`………2
`rarr(T_1-T_2)=(I_a)/r^2` [because a=ralpha]……..e
if we dd the equation 1 and 2 we will get
`Mg+T_2-T_1=Ma+ma`…..4
`rarr Mg-Ia/r^2=Ma+ma`
`rarr (M+m+I/r^2)a=Mg`
`rarr a=(Mg)/(M+m+I/r^2)`

A cylinder is rolling down a rough inclined plane. Its angular momentum about the point of contact remains constant. Is this statement true or false?

Answer» Torque of `mgsintheta` is non-zero. So, angular momentum is not constant.
