1. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 13th May Morning Shift )

The rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy of a rolling body are same, the body is

A. disc

B. sphere

C. cylinder

D. ring

Correct Option is (D)

Translational kinetic energy of a ring is:

KE Trans  = 1 2 mv 2

Rotational kinetic energy of the ring is:

KE Rolling  = 1 2 I 2 = 1 2 mR 2 ω 2 KE Rolling  = 1 2   mv 2 ( v = ω R )

A solid cylinder of mass 3   kg is rolling on a horizontal surface with velocity 4   m / s . It collides with a horizontal spring whose one end is fixed to rigid support. The force constant of material of spring is 200   N / m . The maximum compression produced in the spring will be (assume collision between cylinder & spring be elastic)

A. 0.7 m

B. 0.2 m

C. 0.5 m

D. 0.6 m

Correct Option is (D)

At maximum compression, the solid cylinder will stop.

So loss in K.E. of cylinder = Gain in P.E. of spring

1 2 mv 2 + 1 2 I ω 2 = 1 2 kx 2 1 2 mv 2 + 1 2 mR 2 2 ( v R ) 2 = 1 2 kx 2 3 4 mv 2 = 1 2 kx 2 3 4 × 3 × ( 4 ) 2 = 1 2 × 200 × x 2 36 100 = x 2 x = 0.6   m

3. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 9th May Morning Shift )

A solid sphere rolls without slipping on an inclined plane at an angle θ . The ratio of total kinetic energy to its rotational kinetic energy is

A. 7 2

B. 5 2

C. 7 3

D. 5 4

Correct Option is (A)

Moment of Inertia of a solid sphere, I = 2 5 MR 2

Since there is no slipping,

v = R ω

Rotational kinetic energy

E rot = 1 2 I ω 2 = 1 2 × 2 5 × M × R 2 × ω 2 = MR 2 ω 2 5 = MV 2 5 .... (i)

Total kinetic energy

E K = 1 2 I ω 2 + 1 2 MV 2 = MV 2 5 + MV 2 2 = 7 MV 2 10 ..... (ii)

Dividing (ii) by (i), we get,

E K E rot = ( 7 MV 2 10 ) ( MV 2 5 ) = 7 2

4. ⇒  (MHT CET 2021 21th September Evening Shift )

A particle performs rotational motion with an angular momentum 'L'. If frequency of rotation is doubled and its kinetic energy becomes one fourth, the angular momentum becomes.

A. L

B. L 4

C. L 8

D. L 2

Correct Option is (C)

Kinetic energy k = 1 2 I ω 2

K 2   K 1 = I 2 ω 2 2 I 1 ω 1 2 1 4 = I 2 I 1 4 I 2 I 1 = 1 16 L 2   L 1 = I 2 ω 2 I 1 ω 1 = 1 16 × 2 = 1 8 L 2 = L 1 8

5. ⇒  (MHT CET 2021 20th September Evening Shift )

A disc of radius 0.4 metre and mass 1 kg rotates about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. The angular acceleration is 10 rad s 2 . The tangential force applied to the rim of the disc is

A. 2N

B. 3N

C. 4N

D. 5N

Correct Option is (A)

R = 0.4   m , M = 1   kg , α = 10   rad / s 2

I = M 2 2 = 1 × ( 0.4 ) 2 2 = 0.08   kg   m 2

Torque, τ = I α = 0.08 × 10 = 0.8   N m

Also, τ = F R

or F = τ R = 0.8 0.4 = 2   N
