$Assertion$ : There are very small sporadic changes in the speed of rotation of the earth.
$Reason$ : Shifting of large air masses in the earth's atmosphere produces a change in the moment of inertia of the earth, causing its speed of rotation to change.

  • A
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct and the $Reason$ is a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • B
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct but $Reason$ is not a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • C
    If the $Assertion$ is correct but $Reason$ is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are incorrect.

$A$ small disk is attached to the end of a light inextensible string,which passes through a hole in a frictionless horizontal tabletop. Initially,the disk moves on a circle of radius $R$ with kinetic energy $K_0$. The string is then slowly pulled so that the disk finally rotates on a circle of radius $\frac{R}{\eta}$. What is the work $W$ done in pulling the string?

Two uniform circular discs are rotating independently in the same direction around their common axis passing through their centres. The moment of inertia and angular velocity of the first disc are $0.1 \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ and $10 \; rad \cdot s^{-1}$ respectively,while those for the second one are $0.2 \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ and $5 \; rad \cdot s^{-1}$ respectively. At some instant,they get stuck together and start rotating as a single system about their common axis with some angular speed. The kinetic energy of the combined system is ........... $J$.

$A$ solid sphere is rotating in space. If the radius of the sphere is increased while keeping its mass constant,which of the following physical quantities will not change?

Two discs of same moment of inertia $I$ are rotating about their central axes perpendicular to their planes with angular velocities $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$. They are brought into contact face to face,such that their axes of rotation coincide. The expression for the loss of energy during this process is:
