Enter a numerical value Answer: 60 to 60 +4 marks

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula The magnitude of the angular momentum L of a particle of mass m moving with velocity v is: L = m v d where: * d is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation (origin) to the line of motion of the particle. ### Core Logic Given parameters: * Mass, m = 5text kg * Velocity, v = 3sqrt2text ms^-1 * Line of motion: y = x + 4 implies x - y + 4 = 0 ### Step 1: Calculate Perpendicular Distance The perpendicular distance d from the origin (0,0) to the line Ax + By + C = 0 is: d = frac|A(0) + B(0) + C|sqrtA^2 + B^2 For the line x - y + 4 = 0: d = frac|4|sqrt1^2 + (-1)^2 = frac4sqrt2 = 2sqrt2text m ### Step 2: Calculate Angular Momentum Substitute the values into the angular momentum formula: L = m v d L = 5text kg times (3sqrt2text ms^-1) times (2sqrt2text m) L = 5 times 3 times 4 = 60text kg m^2texts^-1 Thus, the angular momentum of the particle about the origin is 60text kg m^2texts^-1. ### Pattern Recognition Instead of complicated vector cross products, find the perpendicular distance of the straight line from the origin using standard coordinate geometry. L = mvd is extremely fast and reliable. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: System of Particles and Rotational Motion

Q12 jee_main_2025_04_april_evening Rolling Motion
A wheel is rolling on a plane surface. The speed of a particle on the highest point of the rim is 8 m/s. The speed of the particle on the rim of the wheel at the same level as the centre of wheel, will be:
  • A. 4sqrt2text m/s
  • B. 8text m/s
  • C. 4text m/s
  • D. 8sqrt2text m/s

Solution

### Related Formula Velocity of a point on a rolling wheel at angular position theta from the lowest point: v = 2 v_textcm sinleft(fractheta2right) ### Core Logic At the highest point, theta = 180^circ, so: v_texttop = 2v_textcm = 8text m/s implies v_textcm = 4text m/s For a particle on the rim at the same horizontal level as the center, the angle from the lowest point is theta = 90^circ. ### Step 1: Compute Speed at Mid-Height Substituting theta = 90^circ into our velocity relation: v_textmid = 2v_textcm sin(45^circ) = 2 times 4 times frac1sqrt2 = 4sqrt2text m/s

Q22 jee_main_2025_04_april_evening Conservation of Angular Momentum
A solid sphere with uniform density and radius R is rotating initially with constant angular velocity (omega_1) about its diameter. After some time during the rotation its starts loosing mass at a uniform rate, with no change in its shape. The angular velocity of the sphere when its radius becomes R / 2 is xomega_1. The value of x is ________.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 32 to 32

Solution

### Related Formula Conservation of Angular Momentum (since no external torque acts): I_1 omega_1 = I_2 omega_2 For a solid sphere, moment of inertia is: I = frac25MR^2 Mass scales with volume: M propto R^3 ### Core Logic When the radius reduces to R_2 = fracR2, the mass scales cubically: M_2 = M_1 left(fracR/2Rright)^3 = fracM_18 Now, compute the new moment of inertia I_2: I_2 = frac25 M_2 R_2^2 = frac25 left(fracM_18right) left(fracR2right)^2 = frac25 M_1 R^2 times frac132 = fracI_132 ### Step 1: Compute Final Angular Velocity Using conservation of angular momentum: I_1 omega_1 = left(fracI_132right) omega_2 implies omega_2 = 32 omega_1 Hence, the value of x is **32**. ### Pattern Recognition Since inertia of a solid sphere scales with M R^2 and M propto R^3, the net moment of inertia scales with R^5. Shrinking the radius by half (1/2) cuts down inertia by a factor of (1/2)^5 = 1/32. Velocity must scale up by 32 to conserve momentum. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Rotational Motion
Q4 jee_main_2025_04_april_morning Torque and Angular Momentum
Which of the following are correct expression for torque acting on a body? A. vectau=vecItimesvecL B. vectau=fracddt(vecrtimesvecp) C. vectau=vecrtimesfracdvecpdt D. vectau=Ivecalpha E. vectau=vecrtimesvecF (vecr= position vector; vecp= linear momentum; vecL= angular momentum; vecalpha= angular acceleration; I= moment of inertia; vecF= force; t=texttime) Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  • A. B, D and E Only
  • B. C and D Only
  • C. B, C, D and E Only
  • D. A, B, D and E Only

Solution

### Related Formula Fundamental mathematical definition of torque: vectau = vecr times vecF Rotational analogue of Newton's second law: vectau = fracdvecLdt = Ivecalpha Linear momentum relations: vecL = vecr times vecp implies vectau = fracddt(vecr times vecp) ### Core Logic Let's check each expression sequentially: * **A.** vectau=vecItimesvecL is dimensionally incorrect (Moment of inertia I is primarily treated as a tensor or scalar placeholder, not crossed directly like this). * **B.** vectau=fracdvecLdt = fracddt(vecrtimesvecp) is fundamentally correct. * **C.** vectau=vecrtimesvecF = vecrtimesfracdvecpdt is correct since vecF = fracdvecpdt. * **D.** vectau=Ivecalpha is the standard scalar component/fixed axis formulation. * **E.** vectau=vecrtimesvecF is the true physical vector definition. Thus, statements B, C, D, and E are universally correct representations. ### Pattern Recognition Torque can be represented either through geometric structural parameters (position and force cross products) or via kinematic response properties (rate of change of angular momentum or product of rotational inertia and acceleration). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: System of Particles and Rotational Motion

  • A. Opposite to the direction of vecr
  • B. Opposite to the direction of vecL
  • C. Opposite to the direction of vecP
  • D. Opposite to the direction of vecLtimesvecP

Solution

### Related Formula Acceleration vector equation via secondary derivation: veca = fracd^2vecrdt^2 Force equation: vecF = mveca ### Core Logic Given position tracking trace: vecr = a(haticosomega t + hatjsinomega t) Velocity vector vecv: vecv = fracdvecrdt = aomega(-hatisinomega t + hatjcosomega t) ### Step 1: Differentiate to find Acceleration veca = fracdvecvdt = aomega^2(-haticosomega t - hatjsinomega t) veca = -omega^2 left[ a(haticosomega t + hatjsinomega t) ight] = -omega^2vecr ### Step 2: Establish Force Direction vecF = mveca = -momega^2vecr The minus sign indicates the net centripetal pulling force aligns explicitly **opposite to the direction of vecr**. ### Pattern Recognition The expression describes a standard uniform circular motion profile. In circular configurations, acceleration and centripetal forces point radially inward, directly opposing the outbound position tracker vector. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Kinematics Class 11 Physics: System of Particles and Rotational Motion

Numerical Answer. Answer: 3.5 to 4

Solution

### Related Formula Velocity of a rolling body from mechanical energy conservation: v = sqrtfrac2gh1 + frack^2R^2 ### Core Logic Evaluate radius of gyration factor coefficients: 1. For a circular ring: frack^2R^2 = 1 2. For a solid sphere: frack^2R^2 = frac25 ### Step 1: Compute Velocity Expressions v_textring = sqrtfrac2gh1 + 1 = sqrtgh v_textsphere = sqrtfrac2gh1 + frac25 = sqrtfrac10gh7 ### Step 2: Calculate the Velocity Ratio fracv_textringv_textsphere = fracsqrtghsqrtfrac10gh7 = sqrtfrac710 = sqrtfrac3.55 Matching with the prompt expression format sqrtfracx5 reveals: x = 3.5 Rounding to the nearest integer yields 4. ### Pattern Recognition Objects with lower mass concentration near the center (lower frack^2R^2 like the sphere) convert gravitational potential energy into translational kinetic energy more efficiently, rolling faster than hollow equivalents. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: System of Particles and Rotational Motion
