Which of the following statements are correct?

  • A
    Friction acting on a cylinder without sliding on an inclined surface is always upward along the incline,irrespective of any external force acting on it.
  • B
    Friction acting on a cylinder without sliding on an inclined surface may be upward or downward depending on the external force acting on it.
  • C
    Friction acting on a cylinder rolling without sliding may be zero depending on the external force acting on it.

One of two identical cylinders,cylinder $A$,rotates at an angular speed of $50 \text{ revolutions per second}$. This rotating cylinder is brought into contact with a second stationary cylinder,$B$. Due to kinetic friction between the two cylinders,the stationary cylinder starts rotating with an angular acceleration,while cylinder $A$ undergoes angular deceleration. If the magnitude of the angular acceleration for both cylinders is $1 \text{ revolution per second}^2$,after how many seconds $(t)$ will the angular speeds of both cylinders become equal?

$A$ uniform sphere of mass $m$ and radius $R$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface. The sphere is struck horizontally at a height $h$ from the floor. Match the following:
$(a)$ $h = \frac{R}{2}$$(i)$ Sphere rolls without slipping with a constant velocity and no loss of energy.
$(b)$ $h = R$$(ii)$ Sphere spins clockwise,loses energy by friction.
$(c)$ $h = \frac{3R}{2}$$(iii)$ Sphere spins anti-clockwise,loses energy by friction.
$(d)$ $h = \frac{7R}{5}$$(iv)$ Sphere has only a translational motion,loses energy by friction.

$A$ body with a moment of inertia of $3 \ kg \cdot m^2$ rotating with an angular speed of $2 \ rad/s$ has the same kinetic energy as a mass of $12 \ kg$ moving with a speed of ......... $m/s$.

$A$ spherical rigid ball is released from rest and starts rolling down an inclined plane from height $h=7 \, m$,as shown in the figure. It hits a block at rest on the horizontal plane (assume elastic collision). If the mass of both the ball and the block is $m$ and the ball is rolling without sliding,then the speed of the block after collision is close to ............. $m/s$.
