$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. When the particle has risen to a height $h$ on the wedge,choose the correct alternative$(s)$.

  • A
    The particle is stationary with respect to the ground.
  • B
    Both are stationary with respect to the centre of mass.
  • C
    The kinetic energy with respect to the centre of mass is converted into potential energy.
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$.

$A$ block of mass $M$ has a circular cut with a frictionless surface as shown. The block rests on the horizontal frictionless surface of a fixed table. Initially,the right edge of the block is at $x=0$,in a coordinate system fixed to the table. $A$ point mass $m$ is released from rest at the topmost point of the path as shown and it slides down. When the mass loses contact with the block,its position is $x$ and the velocity is $v$. At that instant,which of the following options is/are correct?
$[A]$ The $x$ component of displacement of the center of mass of the block $M$ is: $-\frac{m R}{M+m}$.
$[B]$ The position of the point mass is: $x=-\sqrt{2} \frac{mR}{M+m}$.
$[C]$ The velocity of the point mass $m$ is: $v=\sqrt{\frac{2 g R}{1+\frac{m}{M}}}$.
$[D]$ The velocity of the block $M$ is: $V=-\frac{m}{M} \sqrt{2 g R}$.

$A$ uniform rod of mass $M$ is hinged at its upper end. $A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally strikes the rod at its mid-point elastically. If the particle comes to rest after the collision,find the value of $M/m$.

$A$ $2 \, kg$ steel rod of length $0.6 \, m$ is clamped on a table vertically at its lower end and is free to rotate in a vertical plane. The upper end is pushed so that the rod falls under gravity. Ignoring the friction due to clamping at its lower end,the speed of the free end of the rod when it passes through its lowest position is $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \, ms^{-1}$. (Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$)

$A$ solid sphere of mass $m$,radius $R$,having moment of inertia about an axis passing through its center of mass as $I$ is recast into a disc of thickness $t$ whose moment of inertia about an axis passing through the rim (edge) and perpendicular to its plane remains $I$. Then the radius of the disc is:

$A$ uniform rod is fixed to a rotating turntable so that its lower end is on the axis of the turntable and it makes an angle of $20^o$ to the vertical. (The rod is thus rotating with uniform angular velocity about a vertical axis passing through one end.) If the turntable is rotating clockwise as seen from above,what is the direction of the rod's angular momentum vector (calculated about its lower end)?
