∴ r ⃗ = r 1 ⃗  = (8^

and  ⃗  = (4^

∴ Δv ⃗ = v2 ⃗  = (a − 4)^

2. (d) 25%

U1  − U2
% energy lost =  U1

mg h1  − mg h2

3. (a) 3v cosθ

Explanation:
Shell is fired with velocity v at an angle θ with the horizontal. So, its velocity at the highest point

= horizontal component of velocity = v cosθ. So, momentum of shell before explosion = mv cosθ

When it breaks into two equal pieces and one-piece retrace its path to the canon, then the other part moves with velocity V.

So, momentum of two pieces after explosion

=  (-v cosθ) +  V

By the law of conservation of momentum,

mv cosθ = v cosθ +  V

⇒  V = 3v cosθ

5. (b) The linear momentum is conserved

Explanation: The linear momentum is conserved

6. (b)

Explanation: It can be observed that the total momentum before and after collision in each case is constant.

For an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of a system remains conserved before and after the collision.

For the mass of each ball bearing m, we can write:

The total kinetic energy of the system before collision:

KE =  mV2 +  (2m) ×  (0)2

8. (a)

Explanation: When two bodies collide with each other, then according to Newton’s third law

Force on the first ball by the second ball = - force on second by first

∴  F12 = -F21

This implies that

Change in the momentum of the first ball + Change in the momentum of the first ball of second ball

∴  Δp1 + Δp2 = 0

i.e.,  m+M

i.e.,  ⃗

Furthermore, here it is given that;

Putting the value of v ⃗  from eqn. (ii) in eqn. (i), we get;

26. (b) purely rotational motion

Explanation: The resultant of the two forces forming a couple is zero. So a couple produces a rotational motion, not a linear
motion.
27. (a) If the force is applied normal to the circumference at point P then τ  is zero.

Explanation:
If the force (F) is applied at P tangential then the τ  remains constant and τ  = F ×  2R.

If force is applied normal to X, then as the wheels climb, then the perpendicular distance of force from Q will go on changing
initially the perpendicular is QM, later it becomes QM'.

∴  Js is the unit of angular momentum.

31. (a) angular momentum

Explanation: Only angular momentum is a vector quantity. Other given quantities are scalars.
32. (b) remains constant

Explanation:
|v| = v = constant and |r| = r (say)

Angular momentum o f the particle about origin O will be given by L = r ×  p = m (r ×  v)

or |L| = L = mrv sin θ = mv (rsin θ) = mvh

Now, m.v and h all are constants.

  

Therefore, angular momentum of particle about origin will remain constant. The direction of r ×  v also remains the same
(negative z).
33. (c) increase always

Explanation: While the tube is rotating, due to centrifugal force, the liquid will always move away from the centre axis so the

Explanation: Let N = normal reaction of wire loop acting towards centre.

Then, component N cosθ balances weight of bead,

⇒ N cosθ = mg ...(i)

and component N sinθ provides the necessary centripetal pull on the bead,

⇒ N sinθ = m( ) ω  ...(ii)

60. (d) the axis of rotation

Explanation: Angular velocity is the vector quantity that represents the process of rotation (change of orientation) that occurs
at an instant in time. For a rigid body, it supplements the translational velocity of the center of mass to describe the full motion.
The line of direction of the angular velocity is given by the axis of rotation and the right-hand indicates the direction.
