Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: A solid sphere A of radius 5 cm rotates about an axis PQ which is at a distance of 10 cm from the centre of the sphere (the axis is parallel to a diameter of the sphere). Its radius of gyration about PQ will be \( \sqrt x \) cm. The value of x is:
(a) 110
(b) 100
(c) 125
(d) 90
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 110

Explanation:
1. Parallel axis theorem: \( I=\frac25mR^2+md^2=m\left(\frac25\times25+100\right)=110\,m \) (in cm²).
2. \( I=mk^2\Rightarrow k^2=110 \), so x = 110.

Teacher's Note:
1. Use I about the centre of mass plus m d².
2. Radius of gyration k is defined by I = m k².

Question 2: A uniform solid cylinder of radius R and length L has moment of inertia I1 about the axis of the cylinder. A concentric solid cylinder of radius R' = R/2 and length L' = L/2 is carved out of the original cylinder. If I2 is the moment of inertia of the carved out portion of the cylinder, then I1/I2 = (both about the axis of the cylinder):
(a) 32
(b) 16
(c) 8
(d) 64
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 32

Explanation:
1. Mass is proportional to volume: \( \frac{M'}{M}=\frac{(R/2)^2(L/2)}{R^2L}=\frac18 \).
2. Moments of inertia: \( I_1=\frac12MR^2,\ I_2=\frac12\cdot\frac M8\cdot\frac{R^2}4=\frac{MR^2}{64} \).
3. \( \frac{I_1}{I_2}=\frac{1/2}{1/64}=32 \).

Teacher's Note:
1. The carved-out cylinder has one eighth of the mass.
2. The radius appears squared in I, which gives another factor of 4.

Question 3: I_CM is the moment of inertia of a circular disc about an axis (CM) passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of the disc. I_AB is its moment of inertia about an axis AB perpendicular to the plane of the disc and parallel to the axis CM at a distance \( \frac23R \) from the centre, where R is the radius of the disc. The ratio of I_AB and I_CM is x : 9. The value of x is:
(a) 17
(b) 8
(c) 13
(d) 18
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 17

Explanation:
1. \( I_{CM}=\frac12MR^2 \).
2. Parallel axis theorem: \( I_{AB}=\frac12MR^2+M\left(\frac23R\right)^2=MR^2\left(\frac12+\frac49\right)=\frac{17}{18}MR^2 \).
3. \( \frac{I_{AB}}{I_{CM}}=\frac{17/18}{1/2}=\frac{17}9 \), so x = 17.

Teacher's Note:
1. Add M d² to the moment of inertia about the centre.
2. 1/2 + 4/9 = 17/18.

Question 4: If a solid sphere of mass 5 kg and a disc of mass 4 kg have the same radius, then the ratio of the moment of inertia of the disc about a tangent in its plane to the moment of inertia of the sphere about its tangent is \( \frac x7 \). The value of x is:
(a) 5
(b) 7
(c) 9
(d) 14
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 5

Explanation:
1. Disc about a tangent in its plane: \( I_d=\frac14M_dR^2+M_dR^2=\frac54\times4R^2=5R^2 \).
2. Sphere about a tangent: \( I_s=\frac25M_sR^2+M_sR^2=\frac75\times5R^2=7R^2 \).
3. \( \frac{I_d}{I_s}=\frac57 \), so x = 5.

Teacher's Note:
1. A diameter of the disc in its plane has I = MR²/4.
2. Use the parallel axis theorem to shift to the tangent.

Question 5: A solid sphere of mass 2 kg is making pure rolling on a horizontal surface with a kinetic energy of 2240 J. The velocity of the centre of mass of the sphere will be:
(a) 40 m/s
(b) 20 m/s
(c) 80 m/s
(d) 28 m/s
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 40 m/s

Explanation:
1. Total kinetic energy of a rolling solid sphere \( =\frac12mv^2+\frac12\cdot\frac25mr^2\omega^2=\frac7{10}mv^2 \).
2. \( 2240=\frac7{10}\times2\times v^2\Rightarrow v^2=1600 \), so v = 40 m/s.

Teacher's Note:
1. Rolling without slipping adds a rotational part, 2/5 of the translational one, for a solid sphere.
2. The total is 7/5 of the translational kinetic energy.

Question 6: A particle of mass 100 g is projected at time t = 0 with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 45° to the horizontal from the origin. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the particle about the starting point at time t = 2 s is \( \sqrt K \) kg m²/s. The value of K is (take g = 10 m/s²):
(a) 800
(b) 400
(c) 1600
(d) 200
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 800

Explanation:
1. Components: \( u_x=u_y=10\sqrt2 \). At t = 2 s: \( x=20\sqrt2,\ y=20\sqrt2-20,\ v_x=10\sqrt2,\ v_y=10\sqrt2-20 \).
2. \( L=m(xv_y-yv_x)=0.1\left[20\sqrt2(10\sqrt2-20)-(20\sqrt2-20)10\sqrt2\right]=0.1\times(-200\sqrt2) \).
3. \( |L|=20\sqrt2=\sqrt{800} \), so K = 800.

Teacher's Note:
1. Angular momentum equals the torque of gravity integrated over time: τ = m g x.
2. Also L = m u cosθ x (g t²/2) = 0.1 x 10√2 x 20.

Question 7: A thin uniform rod of length 2 m, cross-sectional area A and density d is rotated about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its length with angular velocity \( \omega \). The value of \( \omega \) in terms of its rotational kinetic energy E is \( \sqrt{\frac{\alpha E}{Ad}} \). The value of \( \alpha \) is:
(a) 3
(b) 6
(c) 1.5
(d) 12
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 3

Explanation:
1. Mass \( m=Ad\times2=2Ad \) and \( I=\frac{ml^2}{12}=\frac{2Ad\times4}{12}=\frac{2Ad}3 \).
2. \( E=\frac12I\omega^2\Rightarrow\omega=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{I}}=\sqrt{\frac{3E}{Ad}} \), so \( \alpha=3 \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Moment of inertia of a rod about its centre is ml²/12.
2. Mass = density x volume = d x A x length.

Question 8: A solid sphere of mass 1 kg rolls without slipping on a plane surface. Its kinetic energy is 7 x 10⁻³ J. The speed of the centre of mass of the sphere is:
(a) 10 cm/s
(b) 7 cm/s
(c) 14 cm/s
(d) 1 cm/s
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 10 cm/s

Explanation:
1. \( KE=\frac7{10}mv^2\Rightarrow7\times10^{-3}=\frac7{10}\times1\times v^2 \).
2. \( v^2=10^{-2}\Rightarrow v=0.1\ \text{m/s}=10\ \text{cm/s} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. For a solid sphere rolling without slipping, KE = 7mv²/10.
2. Convert metres per second into centimetres per second at the end.

Question 9: A uniform disc of mass 0.5 kg and radius r is projected with a velocity of 18 m/s at t = 0 on a rough horizontal surface. It starts with purely sliding motion at t = 0 and after 2 s it acquires purely rolling motion. The total kinetic energy of the disc after 2 s will be (coefficient of friction 0.3, g = 10 m/s²):
(a) 54 J
(b) 81 J
(c) 27 J
(d) 36 J
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 54 J

Explanation:
1. Friction decelerates the centre of mass: \( a=\mu g=3\ \text{m/s}^2 \), so after 2 s \( v=18-3\times2=12\ \text{m/s} \).
2. For pure rolling \( \omega=\frac vr \) (check: \( \alpha=\frac{\mu mgr}{\frac12mr^2}=\frac{6}{r} \), so \( \omega=\frac{12}r \) at t = 2 s, consistent).
3. \( KE=\frac12mv^2+\frac12\left(\frac12mr^2\right)\omega^2=\frac34mv^2=\frac34\times0.5\times144=54\ \text{J} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Rolling disc: kinetic energy = (1/2)mv² + (1/4)mv² = (3/4)mv².
2. Kinetic friction acts until v = ωr.

Question 10: Two discs of the same mass and different radii are made of different materials such that their thicknesses are 1 cm and 0.5 cm respectively. The densities of the materials are in the ratio 3 : 5. The moments of inertia of these discs about their diameters will be in the ratio \( \frac x6 \). The value of x is:
(a) 5
(b) 3
(c) 6
(d) 10
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 5

Explanation:
1. Mass \( m=\rho\pi R^2t\Rightarrow R^2\propto\frac{1}{\rho t} \) for equal masses.
2. \( \frac{R_1^2}{R_2^2}=\frac{\rho_2t_2}{\rho_1t_1}=\frac{5\times0.5}{3\times1}=\frac56 \).
3. About a diameter \( I=\frac14mR^2 \), so \( \frac{I_1}{I_2}=\frac{R_1^2}{R_2^2}=\frac56 \) and x = 5.

Teacher's Note:
1. For equal masses the moment of inertia is proportional to R².
2. The area of a disc is πR², so R² is proportional to mass/(ρ t).

Question 11: A solid cylinder is released from rest from the top of an inclined plane of inclination 30° and length 60 cm. If the cylinder rolls without slipping, its speed upon reaching the bottom of the inclined plane is (g = 10 m/s²):
(a) 2 m/s
(b) 3 m/s
(c) 1 m/s
(d) 4 m/s
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 2 m/s

Explanation:
1. Height of the incline \( h=0.6\sin30^\circ=0.3\ \text{m} \).
2. Energy conservation: \( mgh=\frac12mv^2+\frac14mv^2=\frac34mv^2\Rightarrow v^2=\frac43gh=\frac43\times10\times0.3=4 \).
3. \( v=2\ \text{m/s} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. A rolling solid cylinder has kinetic energy 3mv²/4.
2. Alternatively a = (2/3) g sinθ = 10/3 m/s² and v² = 2as.

Question 12: The moment of inertia of a disc of mass M and radius R about any of its diameters is \( \frac{MR^2}{4} \). The moment of inertia of this disc about an axis normal to the disc and passing through a point on its edge will be \( \frac x2MR^2 \). The value of x is:
(a) 3
(b) 2
(c) 4
(d) 1
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 3

Explanation:
1. Perpendicular axis theorem: \( I_z=I_x+I_y=\frac{MR^2}4+\frac{MR^2}4=\frac{MR^2}2 \) about the centre.
2. Parallel axis theorem: \( I_{edge}=\frac12MR^2+MR^2=\frac32MR^2 \), so x = 3.

Teacher's Note:
1. First find I about the axis normal to the disc through the centre.
2. Then shift the axis by R to the edge.

Question 13: A ball of mass 200 g rests on a vertical post of height 20 m. A bullet of mass 10 g, travelling in a horizontal direction, hits the centre of the ball. After the collision both travel independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance of 30 m and the bullet at a distance of 120 m from the foot of the post. The initial velocity of the bullet is (g = 10 m/s²):
(a) 120 m/s
(b) 60 m/s
(c) 400 m/s
(d) 360 m/s
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 360 m/s

Explanation:
1. Time of fall \( t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times20}{10}}=2\ \text{s} \) for both.
2. Speeds after the collision: ball \( \frac{30}{2}=15\ \text{m/s} \), bullet \( \frac{120}{2}=60\ \text{m/s} \).
3. Momentum conservation: \( 0.01\,u=0.2\times15+0.01\times60=3.6\Rightarrow u=360\ \text{m/s} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. The horizontal speeds after the collision follow from distance divided by the common time of fall.
2. Momentum is conserved horizontally.

Question 14: A machine gun of mass 10 kg fires 20 g bullets at the rate of 180 bullets per minute, with a speed of 100 m/s each. The recoil velocity of the gun is:
(a) 0.02 m/s
(b) 2.5 m/s
(c) 1.5 m/s
(d) 0.6 m/s
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 0.6 m/s

Explanation:
1. Rate of firing \( =\frac{180}{60}=3 \) bullets per second, so momentum given to the bullets per second \( =3\times0.02\times100=6\ \text{kg m/s} \).
2. Taking this as the momentum balanced by the gun: \( 10\,v=6\Rightarrow v=0.6\ \text{m/s} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. By conservation of momentum the gun gains the momentum that the bullets carry away.
2. This treats the bullets fired in one second as a single group.

Question 15: Four force-time graphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) are given.
(a) A triangle: F rises uniformly from 0 to 0.5 N at 0.5 s and falls uniformly to 0 at 1.0 s.
(b) A rectangle: F = 0.5 N constant from t = 0 to 2.0 s.
(c) A right triangle: F falls uniformly from 0.75 N at t = 0 to 0 at 1.0 s.
(d) A right triangle: F rises uniformly from 0 to 0.5 N over 0 to 2.0 s.
The impulse is highest in figure:
(a) Fig (c)
(b) Fig (b)
(c) Fig (a)
(d) Fig (d)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) Fig (b)

Explanation:
1. Impulse equals the area under the force-time graph.
2. \( (a)=\frac12\times1\times0.5=0.25,\ (b)=0.5\times2=1.0,\ (c)=\frac12\times1\times0.75=0.375,\ (d)=\frac12\times2\times0.5=0.5 \) N s.
3. The largest area is in figure (b).

Teacher's Note:
1. Impulse is the integral of F dt.
2. A rectangle has twice the area of a triangle with the same base and height.
