(N/A) $(1)$ Given $|\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| = \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}$.
$AB \sin \theta = AB \cos \theta$.
$\tan \theta = 1$,so $\theta = 45^{\circ}$.
$(2)$ By definition,angular momentum $\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}$. Since $\vec{L}$ is perpendicular to both $\vec{r}$ and $\vec{p}$,the angle between angular momentum $\vec{L}$ and linear momentum $\vec{p}$ is $90^{\circ}$.
$(3)$ Torque $\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$.
Given $\vec{r} = (2\hat{i} + \hat{j})$ and $\vec{F} = F\hat{k}$.
$\vec{\tau} = (2\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \times F\hat{k} = 2F(\hat{i} \times \hat{k}) + F(\hat{j} \times \hat{k})$.
Using cross products $\hat{i} \times \hat{k} = -\hat{j}$ and $\hat{j} \times \hat{k} = \hat{i}$,we get $\vec{\tau} = -2F\hat{j} + F\hat{i} = F(\hat{i} - 2\hat{j})$.

$A$ motor of an engine rotates at an angular speed of $100 \ rpm$ about its axis. When the switch is turned off,it comes to rest in $15 \ s$. How many rotations does it complete before coming to rest?

$A$ thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless horizontal surface and is free to move in any way on the surface. Its mass is $0.300 \, kg$ and length is $2 \, m$. Two particles,each of mass $0.100 \, kg$,are moving on the same surface towards the two ends of the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar. One particle moves with a velocity of $10 \, m/s$ towards one end,and the other moves with a velocity of $5 \, m/s$ towards the other end. If the collision between the particles and the bar is completely elastic and both particles strike the bar simultaneously,find the velocity of the centre of mass of the bar after the collision in $m/s$.
