A particle of mass \(m\) is placed on top of a smooth hemispherical wedge of mass \(4 m\) at rest. The hemispherical wedge is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface. The particle is given a gentle push. The angular velocity of the particle relative to the wedge if wedge has velocity \(v\) when particle has fallen an angle \(\theta\) with respect to the wedge is (A) \(\frac{5 v}{R \cos \theta}\) (B) \(\frac{v}{R \cos \theta}\) (C) \(\frac{4 v}{R \cos \theta}\) (D) \(\frac{5 v}{R \sin \theta}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The angular velocity of the particle relative to the wedge, when the wedge has velocity \(v\) and the particle has fallen at an angle \( \theta \) is given by, \( \frac{4v}{R \cos\theta} \). Therefore, the correct answer is (C)

Step by step solution

01

Conservation of Linear Momentum

Since there's no external force acting on the system (the particle and the hemisphere), the linear momentum of the system is conserved. Therefore: \( Mv = mv_{cm}, \) where \( M = 4m, \) \( m = \) mass of the particle, \( v = \) velocity of the hemisphere, and \( v_{cm} = \) velocity of the particle's center of mass with respect to the ground.
02

Deriving Velocity of particle's center of mass

From the above equation, let's derive expression for velocity of the particle’s center of mass (which is at a perpendicular distance of Rcosθ from the center of the hemisphere). \( v_{cm} = \frac{Mv}{m} = \frac{4 v}{1}\)
03

Derive Angular velocity

Angular velocity of the particle (w) relative to the hemisphere can be obtained by dividing the velocity of the particle's center of mass by the radius (which is \(R \cos\theta\)). So we have: \( w = \frac{v_{cm}}{R \cos \theta} = \frac{4v}{R \cos \theta} \). So, the correct answer is (C) \( \frac{4v}{R \cos \theta} \)

Three particles \(A, B\) and \(C\) of equal mass, move with equal speed \(v\) along the medians of an equilateral triangle as shown in the Fig. \(5.26\). They collide at the centroid \(G\) of the triangle. After collision, \(A\) comes to rest and \(B\) retraces its path with speed \(v\). What is the speed of \(C\) after collision? (A) 0 (B) \(\frac{v}{2}\) (C) \(\underline{v}\) (D) \(2 v\)

Two uniform solid spheres having unequal masses and unequal radii are released from rest from the same height on a rough incline. Then, if the spheres roll without slipping. (A) the heavier sphere reaches the bottom first. (B) the bigger sphere reaches the bottom first. (C) the two spheres reach the bottom together. (D) velocity of the both sphere will be same at the bottom.

Position of two particles are given by \(x_{1}=2 t\) and \(x_{2}=2+3 t .\) The velocity of centre of mass at \(t=2 \mathrm{~s}\) is \(2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). Velocity of centre of mass at \(t=4 \mathrm{~s}\) will be (A) \(2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) (B) \(4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) (C) \(1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) (D) Zero

A particle of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) starts moving in a straight line with an initial velocity of \(2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) at a constant acceleration of \(2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\). The rate of change of kinetic energy is (A) four times the velocity at any moment. (B) two times the displacement at any moment. (C) four times the rate of change of velocity at any moment. (D) constant throughout.

Vertical circular motion is an example of non-uniform motion and for completion of vertical circular motion the maximum velocity at the start of vertical motion from lowest point is (A) \(\sqrt{g R}\) (B) \(\geq \sqrt{5 g R}\) \((\mathrm{C})=\sqrt{5 g R}\) (D) \(\leq \sqrt{5 g R}\)
