State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(1)$ Angular position $\theta$ is a scalar,while angular displacement $\Delta \theta$ is a vector.
$(2)$ The relation between linear velocity $\vec{v}$ and angular velocity $\vec{\omega}$ for a particle in rotational motion is given by $\vec{v} = \vec{r} \times \vec{\omega}$.
$(3)$ The moment of inertia of a rigid body is constant.
$(4)$ The moment of momentum is called angular momentum.

(A) $(1)$ True. Angular displacement for small angles is treated as a vector.
$(2)$ False. The correct relation is $\vec{v} = \vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}$.
$(3)$ False. The moment of inertia depends on the axis of rotation and the distribution of mass relative to that axis.
$(4)$ True. Angular momentum is defined as the moment of linear momentum,$\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}$.

Moment of Inertia of a thin uniform rod rotating about the perpendicular axis passing through its centre is $I$. If the same rod is bent into a ring and its moment of inertia about its diameter is $I^{\prime}$,then the ratio $\frac{I}{I^{\prime}}$ is

$A$ wheel of moment of inertia $2 \ kg \ m^2$ is rotating about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane at a speed of $60 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. Due to friction, it comes to rest in $5$ minutes. The angular momentum of the wheel three minutes before it stops rotating is:

$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of mass $2 \ kg$ and length $30 \ cm$ is at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. An impulse of force $0.2 \ Ns$ is applied to end $B$. The time taken by the rod to turn through a right angle will be $\frac{\pi}{X} \ s$,where $X = \text{ . . . . . . }$.

$A$ body with a moment of inertia of $3\ kg\cdot m^2$ rotating with an angular velocity of $2\ rad/s$ has the same kinetic energy as a mass of $12\ kg$ moving with a velocity of .......... $m/s$.

The moment of inertia of a ring about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is $I$. It is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$. Another identical ring is gently placed on it so that their centres coincide. If both the rings are rotating about the same axis,then the loss in kinetic energy is:
