$A$ wheel is rotating freely with an angular speed $\omega$ on a shaft. The moment of inertia of the wheel is $I$ and the moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible. Another wheel of moment of inertia $3I$ initially at rest is suddenly coupled to the same shaft. The resultant fractional loss in the kinetic energy of the system is:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{6}$

$A$ horizontal circular platform of radius $R = 0.5 \ m$ and mass $M = 0.45 \ kg$ is free to rotate about its axis. Two massless spring toy-guns,each carrying a steel ball of mass $m = 0.05 \ kg$,are attached to the platform at a distance $r = 0.25 \ m$ from the centre on its either sides along its diameter (see figure). Each gun simultaneously fires the balls horizontally and perpendicular to the diameter in opposite directions. After leaving the platform,the balls have a horizontal speed of $v = 9 \ m/s$ with respect to the ground. The rotational speed of the platform in $rad/s$ after the balls leave the platform is:

Explain with illustration the pure translation and combination of translation and rotation motion of a rigid body.

$A$ uniform rod of length $8 a$ and mass $6 m$ lies on a smooth horizontal surface. Two point masses $m$ and $2 m$ moving in the same plane with speed $2 v$ and $v$ respectively strike the rod perpendicularly at distances $a$ and $2 a$ from the mid point of the rod in the opposite directions and stick to the rod. The angular velocity of the system immediately after the collision is:

$A$ small bead of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ gets threaded on a stationary semicircular ring of mass $m$ and radius $R$ kept on a horizontal table. The ring can freely rotate about its centre. The bead comes to rest relative to the ring. What will be the final angular velocity of the system?
