$A$ uniform circular disc of radius $R$, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane, is rotating with an angular velocity $\omega$ about its own axis. Another identical circular disc is gently placed on top of the first disc coaxially. The loss in rotational kinetic energy due to friction between the two discs, as they acquire a common angular velocity, is ($I$ is the moment of inertia of the disc).

  • A
    $\frac{1}{8} I \omega^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4} I \omega^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2$
  • D

$A$ thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless horizontal surface and is free to move in any way on the surface. Its mass is $0.300 \, kg$ and length is $2 \, m$. Two particles,each of mass $0.100 \, kg$,are moving on the same surface towards the two ends of the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar. One particle moves with a velocity of $10 \, m/s$ towards one end,and the other moves with a velocity of $5 \, m/s$ towards the other end. If the collision between the particles and the bar is completely elastic and both particles strike the bar simultaneously,find the velocity of the centre of mass of the bar after the collision in $m/s$.

$A$ particle of mass $M=0.2 \ kg$ is initially at rest in the $xy$-plane at a point $(x=-l, y=-h)$,where $l=10 \ m$ and $h=1 \ m$. The particle is accelerated at time $t=0$ with a constant acceleration $a=10 \ m/s^2$ along the positive $x$-direction. Its angular momentum and torque with respect to the origin,in $SI$ units,are represented by $\vec{L}$ and $\vec{\tau}$,respectively. $\hat{i}, \hat{j}$ and $\hat{k}$ are unit vectors along the positive $x, y$ and $z$-directions,respectively. If $\hat{k}=\hat{i} \times \hat{j}$,then which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ The particle arrives at the point $(x=l, y=-h)$ at time $t=2 \ s$.
$(B)$ $\vec{\tau}=2 \hat{k}$ when the particle passes through the point $(x=l, y=-h)$.
$(C)$ $\vec{L}=4 \hat{k}$ when the particle passes through the point $(x=l, y=-h)$.
$(D)$ $\vec{\tau}=\hat{k}$ when the particle passes through the point $(x=0, y=-h)$.
