41. (AIEEE 2003)

A particle performing uniform circular motion has angular frequency is doubled & its kinetic energy halved, then the new angular momentum is

A. L 4

B. 2L

C. 4L

D. L 2

Correct Answer is Option (A)

We know Rotational Kinetic Energy = 1 2 I ω 2 ,

Angular Momentum L = I ω I = L ω

Initial K . E . = 1 2 L ω × ω 2 = 1 2 L ω

Final K . E = K . E 2 = 1 2 L × 2 ω

K . E K . E = L × ω L × ω

K . E K . E 2 = L × ω L × 2 ω

L = L 4

Initial angular velocity of a circular disc of mass M is ω 1 . Then two small spheres of mass m are attached gently to diametrically opposite points on the edge of the disc. What is the final angular velocity of the disc?

A. ( M + m M ) ω 1

B. ( M + m m ) ω 1

C. ( M M + 4 m ) ω 1

D. ( M M + 2 m ) ω 1

Correct Answer is Option (C)

When two small spheres of mass m are attached gently, the external torque, about the axis of rotation, is zero.

So, d L d t = z = 0

L = conserved

So the angular momentum about the axis of rotation is conserved.

I 1 ω 1 = I 2 ω 2

ω 2 = I 1 I 2 ω 1

Here Moment of inertia of Disc I 1 = 1 2 M R 2 and

After adding two sphere Moment of Inertia of disc and two sphere,

I 2 = 1 2 M R 2 + 2 ( 1 2 m R 2 + 1 2 m R 2 )

ω 2 = 1 2 M R 2 1 2 M R + 2 m R 2 × ω 1 = M M + 4 m ω 1

A particle of mass m moves along line PC with velocity v as shown. What is the angular momentum of the particle about P? AIEEE 2002 Physics - Rotational Motion Question 186 English

A. mvL

B. mvl

C. mvr

D. zero

Correct Answer is Option (D)

Angular momentum ( L )

= ( linear momentum ) × ( perpendicular distance of the line of action of momentum from the axis of rotation)

= m v × r

= m v × 0

= 0

[ Here r = 0 because the particle is moving through the line PQ and r is the perpendicular distance from line PQ of the particle ]
