Physics - Rotation Question with Solution | TestHub
A sphere is given an initial angular velocity ω0 and kept on a long rough inclined plane of inclination θ and coefficient of friction μ. Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I | Column-II |
(A) θ=37°, μ=1, ω0 clockwise | (P) Acceleration just after t=0 is zero |
(B) θ=45°, μ=1, ω0 anticlockwise | (Q) Acceleration just after t=0 is upwards |
(C) θ=53°, μ=1/3, ω0 clockwise | (R) Starts pure rolling while ascending |
(D) θ=30°, μ=1/2, ω0 anticlockwise | (S) Starts pure rolling while descending |
| (T) Never rolls purely |
Answer:
Solution:
Compare downhill gravity with limiting friction for the initial direction of slip.
Track translational and angular speeds until the rolling condition is first reached. This gives A-P,R; B-Q,R; C-S; D-T.
