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). |
A body falling vertically downwards under gravity breaks into two parts of unequal masses. The centre of mass of the two parts taken together shifts horizontally towards:
1. | heavier piece |
2. | lighter piece |
3. | does not shift horizontally |
4. | depends on the vertical velocity at the time of breaking |
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). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Let \(\overrightarrow A\) be a unit vector along the axis of rotation of a purely rotating body and \(\overrightarrow B\) be a unit vector along the velocity of a particle P of the body away from the axis. The value of \(\overrightarrow A.\overrightarrow B\) is:
1. \(1\)
2. \(-1\)
3. \(0\)
4. None of these
1. | \(12\) | 2. | \(14\) |
3. | \(16\) | 4. | \(18\) |
1. | \(2\) | 2. | \(12\) |
3. | \(6\) | 4. | \(3\) |
