Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The centre-of-mass of an isolated system of particles remains at rest if it is initially at rest.
Reason (R): Internal forces acting within a system cannot change the velocity of the centre-of-mass which is proportional to the total momentum of the system.
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): If polar ice melts, days will be longer.
Reason (R): Moment of inertia increases and thus angular velocity decreases.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

A pulley of radius \(1.5~\text m\) is rotated about its axis by a force, \(F=(12t-3t^{2})~\text N\) applied tangentially (while \(t\) is measured in seconds). If the moment of inertia of the pulley about its axis of rotation is \(4.5~\text{kg-m}^2,\) the number of rotations made by the pulley before its direction of motion is reversed, will be \(\dfrac K \pi\). The value of \(K\) is:
1. \(12\) 2. \(14\)
3. \(16\) 4. \(18\)
