MCQ
Two unequal masses are tied together with a cord with a compressed spring in between.
Which one is correct?
  • A
    Both masses will have equal KE.
  • B
    Lighter block will have greater KE.
  • C
    Heavier block will have greater KE.
  • D
    None of above answers is correct.

Answer

  1. Lighter block will have greater KE.

Explanation:

Lighter block will have greater kinetic energy to lighter block will have higher velocity mass so Heavier block, hence by equation $\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^2$, the lighter will have greater KE.

A thin rod of mass $M$ and length $a$ is free to rotate in horizontal plane about a fixed vertical axis passing through point $O$. A thin circular disc of mass $M$ and of radius $a / 4$ is pivoted on this rod with its center at a distance $a / 4$ from the free end so that it can rotate freely about its vertical axis, as shown in the figure. Assume that both the rod and the disc have uniform density and they remain horizontal during the motion. An outside stationary observer finds the rod rotating with an angular velocity $\Omega$ and the disc rotating about its vertical axis with angular velocity $4 \Omega$. The total angular momentum of the system about the point $O$ is $\left(\frac{ M a^2 \Omega}{48}\right) n$. The value of $n$ is. . . . .
