1. As shown in the figure, a disc of mass m is rolling without slipping with angular velocity . When it
crosses point B, disc will be in:


A µ0 µ=0 C
B
(A) translational motion only (B) pure rolling motion
(C) rotational motion only (D) starts slipping on the ground

2. A ball rests upon a flat piece of paper on a table top. The paper is pulled quickly and horizontally to
the right as shown. Just after the paper is pulled, the ball :

(A) moves to the right & rotates clockwise

(B) moves to the left & rotates clockwise
(C) moves to the right & rotates anticlockwise
(D) moves to the left & rotates anticlockwise

3. A sphere of mass m is projected on a rough ground with a velocity of v0 without any spin. This is
observed from ground and by an observer moving with constant velocity v0. For both the frames,
origin is on ground and direction of motion is positive x-axis. Choose the incorrect statement.

(A) Change in angular momentum of the ball about origin in any time interval is same from both
frames.
(B) Work done by friction on the ball in any time interval is same from both frames
(C) Total heat dissipated in any time interval is same from both frames
(D) Change in momentum of ball in any time interval is same from both frames.

4. Two high performance bicycle wheels have the same mass and radius but one is a solid disk and the
other is a hoop with very light (as compared to the mass of the rim) spokes. Which wheel takes the
most energy to accelerate to a speed v? Ignore any air and rolling resistances.
(A) The disk wheel requires more energy
(B) The spoked wheel requires more energy
(C) Both take the same amount of energy
(D) It depends on the radius of wheels

5. A uniform sphere of radius r and mass m has no initial velocity and no angular velocity as it is placed
on a long plank moving to the right with a constant velocity v1. Find distance travelled by sphere
relative to ground by the time sphere starts pure rolling. Coeff. of friction between plank and
sphere is ''.

velocity 0. The disc comes to rest after moving some distance in the direction of motion. Then v0/

7. A straight bar, length L, uniform cross-section, stands by a vertical wall and is tipped over with a
small initial velocity in the way shown in figure. While falling it remains in the same vertical plane.
Find the velocity of the endpoints of the bar, when it reaches the horizontal ground. Friction
between bar and wall, as well as between bar and ground is negligible.
