MCQ
A thin horizontal circular disc is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. An insect is at rest at a point near the rim of the d isc. The insect now moves along a diameter of the disc to reach its other end . During the journey of the insect, the angular speed of the disc.
  • A
    continuously decreases
  • continuously increases
  • C
    first increases and then decreases
  • D
    remains unchanged

Answer

Correct option: B.
continuously increases
b
As insect moves along a diameter, the effective mass and hence the $M.I.$ first decreases then increases so from principle of conservation of angular momentum, angular speed, first increases then decreases.

Two moles of monoatomic gas is expanded from $(P_0, V_0)$ to $(P_0 , 2V_0)$ under isobaric condition. Let $\Delta Q_1$, be the heat given to the gas, $\Delta W_1$ the work done by the gas and $\Delta U_1$ the change in internal energy. Now the monoatomic gas is replaced by a diatomic gas. Other conditions remaining the same. The corresponding values in this case are $\Delta Q_2 , \Delta W_2 , \Delta U_2$ respectively, then
