Important Questions on Rotational Mechanics

MEDIUM
NEET
IMPORTANT
Assertion: A wheel moving down a perfectly frictionless inclined plane will undergo slipping (not rolling).
Reason: For pure rolling, work done against frictional force is zero.
MEDIUM
NEET
IMPORTANT
Assertion: Angular momentum may not necessarily be parallel to the angular velocity vector. 
Reason: The body may not be symmetrical about its axis of rotation.
HARD
NEET
IMPORTANT
Assertion: As star collapse its angular velocity increases.
Reason: The mass of the star decreases.
MEDIUM
NEET
IMPORTANT
Assertion: A sharp needle when balanced on an edge falls even under a small disturbance.
Reason: Small disturbance causes torque in the same direction as that of angular displacement.
MEDIUM
NEET
IMPORTANT
Assertion: A rotating body can be in stable and unstable equilibrium.
Reason: Moment of inertia is always different for the different axis of rotation.
MEDIUM
NEET
IMPORTANT
Assertion: Practically a body rolling on a surface will lose its complete KE
Reason: Friction will convert its KE into PE of atoms.

IMPORTANT
Assertion: Spin angular momentum is an intrinsic property of the body.
Reason: It doesn’t depend on the coordinates of the body.

IMPORTANT
Assertion : Angular momentum of a satellite remains conserved.
Reason : Conservation of linear momentum leads to conservation of angular momentum.
