A swimmer while jumping into water from a height easily forms a loop in the air, if

1. He pulls his arms and legs in

2. He spreads his arms and legs

3. He keeps himself straight

4. None of the above

Assertion : A ladder is more apt to slip when you are high up on it than when you just begin to climb

Reason : At the high point on a ladder, the torque is large and on climbing up the torque is small

An inclined plane makes an angle of $30°$ with the horizontal. A solid sphere rolling down this inclined plane from rest without slipping has a linear acceleration equal to

1.  $\frac{g}{3}$

2.  $\frac{5g}{7}$

3.  $\frac{2g}{3}$

4.  $\frac{5g}{14}$

The figure shows a small wheel fixed coaxially on a bigger one of double the radius. The system rotates about the common axis. The strings supporting A and B do not slip on the wheels. If x and y be the distances traveled by A and B in the same time interval, then
                          
1. x-2y

2. x = y

3. y=2x

4. none of these

If a gymnast, sitting on a rotating stool, with his arms outstretched, suddenly lowers his hands

1.  the angular velocity increases

2.  his moment of inertia increases

3.  the angular velocity stays constant

4.  the angular momentum increases

Moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc about a diameter is I. Its moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through a point on its rim will be

1.  5 I

2.  3 I

3.  6 I

4.  4 I

A disc and a solid sphere of the same radius but different masses roll off on two inclined planes of the same altitude and length. Which one of the two objects gets to the bottom of the plane first?

1.  Disk

2.   Sphere

3.  Both reach at the same time

4.  Depends on their masses

The rotational KE of a body is E and its moment of inertia is I. The angular momentum is 

1.  EI

2.  $2\sqrt{\left(\mathrm{EI}\right)}$

3.  $\sqrt{\left(2 \mathrm{EI}\right)}$

4.  $\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{I}}$

A particle of mass \(m\) moves in the\(XY\) plane with a velocity of \(v\) along the straight line \(AB.\) If the angular momentum of the particle about the origin \(O\) is \(L_A\) when it is at \(A\) and \(L_B\) when it is at \(B,\) then:

If rotational kinetic energy is 50 % of translational kinetic energy, then the body is 

1. Ring

2. Cylinder

3. Hollow sphere

4. Solid sphere
