A body falling vertically downward under gravity breaks into two parts of unequal masses. The center of mass of the parts taken together shifts horizontally towards

1.  heavier piece 

2.  lighter piece 

3.  does not shift horizontally 

4.  depends on the vertical velocity at the time of breaking

A solid sphere, disc, and solid cylinder all of the same mass and made up of the same material are allowed to roll down (from rest) on an inclined plane, then,

Two rings of the same radius and mass are placed such that their centers are at a common point and their planes are perpendicular to each other. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the center and perpendicular to the plane of one of the rings is (mass of the ring and radius = r)

1.  $\frac{1}{2}{\mathrm{mr}}^2$

2.  ${\mathrm{mr}}^2$

3.  $\frac{3}{2}{\mathrm{mr}}^2$

4.  $2{\mathrm{mr}}^2$

2. BD
3. HF
4. EG

A wheel comprises of a ring of radius R and mass M and three spokes of mass m each. The moment of inertia of the wheel about its axis is

1.  \(\left(M   +   \frac{m}{4}\right) R^{2} \)

2.  \(\left(M   +   m\right) R^{2} \)

3.  \(\left(M   +   3 m\right) R^{2} \)

4.  \(\left(\frac{M   +   m}{2}\right) R^{2}\)

The angular velocity of a body changes from $\frac{1}{25}$ rev./sec to 1 rev./sec. without applying any torque. The ratio of its radius of gyration in two situations is :

1.  5: 1

2.  1: 5

3.  1: 25

4.  25: 1

A solid cylinder and a solid sphere, both having the same mass and radius, are released from a rough inclined plane. Both roll without slipping. Then,

1.  the force of friction that acts on the two is the same

2.  the force of friction is greater in the case of a sphere than in a cylinder

3.  the force of friction is greater in the case of a cylinder than in a sphere

4.  the force of friction will depend on the nature of the surface of the body that is moving and that of the inclined surface and is independent of the shape and size of the moving body

A homogeneous disc of mass 2 kg and radius 15 cm is rotating about its axis (which is fixed) with an angular velocity of 4 rad/sec. The linear momentum Of the disc is 

1.  1.2 kg m/sec 

2.  1.0 kg m/sec 

3.  0.6 kg m/sec 

4.  None of these
