Statement-$1$: $A$ body is rotating about an axis with angular velocity $\omega$ and moment of inertia $I$. Its angular momentum $L$ remains constant,but its rotational kinetic energy $K$ decreases,provided no external torque is applied.
Statement-$2$: $L = I\omega$ and $K = \frac{L^2}{2I} = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2$.

  • A
    Statement-$1$ is false,Statement-$2$ is true.
  • B
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true,and Statement-$2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • C
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is false.
  • D
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true,and Statement-$2$ is the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.

$A$ metal sphere of radius $r$ and specific heat $S$ is rotated about an axis passing through its centre at a speed of $n$ rotations per second. It is suddenly stopped and $50 \%$ of its energy is used in increasing its temperature. Then,the rise in temperature of the sphere is

An object has a moment of inertia of $3 \ kg \cdot m^2$. It is rotating with an angular velocity of $2 \ rad/s$. If a mass of $12 \ kg$ is moving with a velocity of $v \ m/s$,at what value of $v$ will their kinetic energies be equal?

$A$ bullet of mass $10\, g$ and speed $500\, m/s$ is fired into a door and gets embedded exactly at the centre of the door. The door is $1.0\, m$ wide and weighs $12\, kg$. It is hinged at one end and rotates about a vertical axis practically without friction. The angular speed of the door just after the bullet embeds into it will be

$A$ block of mass $m = 1 \, kg$ slides with velocity $v = 6 \, m/s$ on a frictionless horizontal surface and collides with a uniform vertical rod and sticks to it as shown. The rod is pivoted about $O$ and swings as a result of the collision,making an angle $\theta$ before momentarily coming to rest. If the rod has mass $M = 2 \, kg$ and length $l = 1 \, m$,the value of $\theta$ is approximately (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$) (in $^{\circ}$)
