$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving along the side of a square of side '$a$',with a uniform speed $v$ in the $x-y$ plane as shown in the figure. Which of the following statements is false for the angular momentum $\vec L$ about the origin?

  • A
    $\vec L = mv\left[ {\frac{R}{{\sqrt 2 }} + a} \right]\hat k$,when the particle is moving from $B$ to $C$
  • B
    $\vec L = \frac{{mvR}}{{\sqrt 2 }}\hat k$,when the particle is moving from $D$ to $A$
  • C
    $\vec L = mv\left[ {\frac{R}{{\sqrt 2 }} - a} \right]\hat k$,when the particle is moving from $C$ to $D$
  • D
    Both $(b)$ and $(c)$

Two discs of moment of inertia $I_1 = 4 \ kg \ m^2$ and $I_2 = 2 \ kg \ m^2$ about their central axes and normal to their planes,rotating with angular speeds $10 \ rad/s$ and $4 \ rad/s$ respectively,are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident. The loss in kinetic energy of the system in the process is . . . . . . $J$.

The moment of inertia of a ring about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is $I$. It is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$. Another identical ring is gently placed on it so that their centres coincide. If both the rings are rotating about the same axis,then the loss in kinetic energy is:
