MCQ
The instantaneous angular position of a point on a rotating wheel is given by the equation $\theta $$(t)=2t^3-6t^2 $ The torque on the wheel becomes zero at $t=$ ...... $\sec$
  • $1$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C
    $0.25$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1$
a
Given : $\theta \left( t \right) = 2{t^3} - 6{t^2}$

$\therefore \,\frac{{d\theta }}{{dt}} = 6{t^2} - 12t \Rightarrow \frac{{{d^2}\theta }}{{d{t^2}}} = 12t - 12$

Angular acceleration, $\alpha  = \frac{{{d^2}\theta }}{{d{t^2}}} = 12t - 12$

When angular acceleration $(\alpha )$ is zero, then the torque on the wheel becomes zero $\left( {\,\tau  = I\alpha } \right)$

$ \Rightarrow \,12t - 12 = 0\,\,or\,t = 1\,s$

Diatomic molecules like hydrogen have energies due to both translational as well as rotational motion. From the equation in kinetic theory $\text{PV} = \frac{2}{3}$ E,E is:
  1. The total energy per unit volume.
  2. Only the translational part of energy because rotational energy is very small compared to the translational energy.
  3. Only the translational part of the energy because during collisions with the wall pressure relates to change in linear momentum.
  4. The translational part of the energy because rotational energies of molecules can be of either sign and its average over all the molecules is zero.
