Answer:
Yes, there is an angular rotation of the ball about its centre.
Yes, angular velocity of the ball about its centre is same as the angular velocity of the ball about the fixed point.
Explanation:
Let the time period of angular rotation of the ball be T.
Therefore, we get:
Angular velocity of the ball about the fixed point =
After one revolution about the fixed centre is completed, the ball has come back to its original position. In this case, the point at which the ball meets with the string is again visible after one revolution. This means that it has undertaken one complete rotation about its centre.
The ball has taken one complete rotation about its centre. Therefore, we have:
Angular displacement of the ball =
Time period = T
So, angular velocity is again . Thus, in both the cases, angular velocities are the same.

No, we cannot see the other face of the Moon from the Earth.
Yes, a person on the Moon can see all the faces of the Earth.
Explanation: Angular velocity of the Moon about its own axis of rotation is same as its angular velocity of revolution about the Earth. This means that its rotation time period equals its revolution time period. So, we can see only one face of the Moon from the Earth.
However, angular velocity of the Earth about its axis is not same as the angular velocity of Moon about the Earth. So, all the faces of the Earth is visible from the Moon.

Figure 1
Explanation: If the centre of mass of the body is not on the same vertical line as the normal reaction R of the body, a net torque acts on the body about its vertical axis. In fig. 1, R and CM lies in the same vertical line. Thus, there is no torque about any vertical axis

Answer:
When the balance is kept at an angle, there is a net extra torque given to one of its arm. When the extra torque is removed, the balance becomes torque free and sum of all the torque acting on it is zero.
But balance kept at an angle has got a greater potential energy compared to the balance kept horizontal. The potential energy acquired is due to the initial torque applied on it. This displaces the balance by an angle. As soon as the body is set free to rotate, the body tends to have the lowest potential energy. Thus, potential energy starts converting in to kinetic energy, but on the other side, kinetic energy converts into potential energy when the other arm of the balance is raised. This energy transformation oscillates the balance. But in this process, friction with the air and fulcrum dissipates energy converting into heat. Finally, the balance loses the energy and becomes horizontal, or attains equilibrium.

Answer:
It will require more force to set the bar into rotation by clamping at A and then clamping at B.
Explanation: Since the rod has mass density increasing towards B, the Center of Mass (CM) of the rod is near B. If the rod is clamped along A, the distance of CM of the rod from the pivot will be greater when the rod is clamped along B. Greater distance of CM from the Center of rotation increases the moment of inertia of the rod and hence more torque will be necessary to rotate the bar about A. Greater torque implies greater force will be necessary to rotate it.
FA = Force required to rotated the rod clamped at A
RA= Distance of CM from pivot A
M = Mass of the rod
FB = Force required to rotate the rod clamped at B
RB= Distance of CM from pivot B
We have RA>RB.
We have to find the torque required to rotate rod clamped at A to produce angular acceleration a.
TA = MRA2a = RAFA
=> FA = MRAa
We have to find torque required to rotate rod clamped at B to produce angular acceleration a.
TB = MRB2a = RBFB
=> FB = MRBa
On comparing, since RA>RB, we get:
FA>FB

Answer:
Yes, because tall buildings have their CM much above the ground. It increases moment of inertia of the Earth. As the Earth’s rotation does not involve torque, its angular momentum is constant. Thus, an increase in MI leads to lower angular velocity of the Earth about its axis of rotation. This means length of night and day will increase. However, the increase is very small.
Page No 192:
Answer:
Ice caps near the poles concentrate the mass of water at the poles through which axis of rotation of the Earth passes. If the ice melts, water will spread across the globe due to hydrostatic equilibrium and tend to move to the equatorial areas of the Earth due to centrifugal force of rotation. Mass, now being distributed more along the equator, will increase MI of the Earth and this in turn will decrease the angular velocity of the Earth. Decrease in angular velocity will increase the duration of day-night.

Answer:
(c) at a distance l/2 from O.
It is given that there is no force along x-axis.
COM of rod will remain and will not shift along x-axis (horizontal direction).
Force gravity is acting along y-axis (vertical direction). So, COM will shift along the y-axis by l/2 distance and COM of horizontal rod is at a distance l/2 from one end. Therefore, lower end of the rod will remain at a distance l/2 from O.

(b) on the front wheels is in the backward direction
(c) on the rear wheels has larger magnitude than the friction on the front wheels
Explanation:
(a) On the rear wheels, friction force is in the forward direction because it favours the motion and accelerates the car in forward direction.
(b) Because of the movement of the car in forward direction, front wheels push the road in forward direction and in reaction, the road applies friction force in the backward direction.
(c) As the car is moving in forward direction, the rear wheels have larger magnitude of friction force (in forward direction) than on the front wheels.
Page No 195:
Answer:
(c) it will translate and rotate about the centre
The given coefficient of friction () is less than the coefficient friction () required for perfect rolling of the sphere on the inclined plane. Therefore, sphere may slip while rolling and it will translate and rotate about the centre.

It is given that the perpendicular bisector of the metre scale is passed through the 50th particle.
Therefore, on the L.H.S. of the axis, there will be 49 particles and on the R.H.S., there will be 50 particles.
Consider the two particles positioned at 49 cm and 51 cm.
Moment of inertia due to these two particles = 49 × (1)2 + 51 × (1)2
I1 = 100 × 1 = 100 gm-cm2
Similarly, if we consider particles positioned at 48 cm and 52 cm, we get:

Answer:
Let initial velocity of the particle = u1
Let final velocity of the particle = v1
Let time taken to move π/2 angle = t
Given v1 = 0
Let initial velocity of CM of the rod = u2
Given u2 = 0
Let final velocity of the CM of rod = v2
By conservation of linear momentum
mu1 + Mu2 = mv1 + Mv2
=> v2 = (m/M)u1 ---(1)
Now by we consider the angular momentum imparted by the particle to the rod.
mu1(L/2) = Iω
For rod about its CM, I = ML2/12
mu1(L/2) = ωML2/12
=> ω = 6mu1/ML ---2.
Now we know
ω = θ/t
θ = π/2
=> t = θ/ω = (π/2)/(6mu1/ML)
=> t = πML/(12mu1)
Linear distance moved by the CM of the rod will be
s = v2t
By equation 1.
s = [πML/(12mu1)]× (m/M)u1
= πL/12
Initial KE of the particle is ½m(u1)2
KE of the CM of the rod = ½M(v1)2 = ½M{(m/M)u1}2 [by equation 1.]
= ½(u1)2m2/M
KErot of the rod = ½Iω2
KErot = ½ (ML2/12)(6mu1/ML)2
= (3/2) m2(u1)2/M
To be elastic collision KE must be conserved
½m(u1)2 = ½(u1)2m2/M + (3/2) m2(u1)2/M
=> M = 4m
Hence Proved.
