State the direction of following vectors in simple situations; angular momentum and angular velocity. The directions of angular momentum and angular velocity will be along axis of rotation, which can be given by the right hand rule: “Curl the fingers of your right hand in the direction of the rotation of the body, and then the erect thumb will give the direction of angular velocity and momentum.” Explain why an object, orbiting the Earth, is said to be freely falling. Use your explanation to point out why objects appear weightless under certain circumstances. When an object is put into an orbit around the Earth fast enough, then as a result of tangential velocity and the force of gravity, The body starts moving in a curved path. If the curvature of the path is matched with curvature of earth. Then object simply revolve around earth. As the object continues to fall around Earth, so it is said to be freely falling object. When a body is freely falling, it means that it is moving with an acceleration ‘g’. And the. bodies moving with acceleration ‘g’ appear weightless. T=mg- mg=0 . When mud flies off the tyre of a moving bicycle, in what direction does it fly? Explain. When mud flies off the tyre of a moving bicycle, it always flies along the tangent to the tyre. The force of adhesion provides necessary centripetal force. When speed increase then adhesion force will not be sufficient to provide the required centripetal force. — COLLEGE PHYSICS Er CIRCULAR MOTION This is due to the reason that the linear velocity is always tangent to the circle, and the mud will fly in the direction of the linear. velocity. we ny A disc and a hoop start moving down from the top of an inclined plane at the Ans. 11.

The formulae for the velocity of the disc and the hoop are given by; Ih So it is clear from the above relations that the disc will be moving with greater speed on reaching the bottom. v, > ise » Vhoop Why doesa diver change his body positions before and after diving in the pool? When the diver jumps from the diving board, his legs and arms are fully extended. The diver has a large moment of inertia ‘I’, about this axis. But angular velocity 'w;' is small. When the diver curls his body, the moment of inertia reduces to '/,'. In order to conserve the angular momentum the value of angular velocity increases to w,. L=Lo, =1,0, = Constant In this way he can make more somersaults before entering the water. Astudent holds two dumb-bells with stretched arms while sitting on a turn table. He is given a push until he is rotating at certain angular velocity. The student then pulls the dumb-bell towards his chest (Fig. 5.25). What will be the effect on rate of rotation? Initially his legs and arms are fully extended, so he has a large moment of inertia ‘Y but angular velocity 'w;" is small. When the student curls his body, COLLEGE PHYSICS CIRCULAR MOTION the moment of inertia reduces to 'J,'. In order to conserve the angular momentum, the value of angular velocity increases to w,.
