A metre stick is pivoted about its centre. A piece of wax of mass 20 g travelling horizontally and perpendicular to it at 5 m/s strikes and adheres to one end of the stick so that the stick starts to rotate in a horizontal circle. Given the moment of inertia of the stick and wax about the pivot is 0.02 kg m^(2) , the initial angular velocity of the stick is :

Calculate the moment of inertia of a rod of mass 2 kg and length 5 m about an axis perpendicular to it and passing through one of its ends.

A uniform disc rotating freely about a vertical axis makes 90 rpm. A small piece of wax of mass m gram falls vertically on the disc and sticks to it at a distance r cm from the axis. If number of rotations per minute reduces to 60 , find the moment of inertia of the disc.

What is the period of a pendulum formed by pivoting a metre stick so that is free to rotate about a horizontal axis passing through the 75 cm mark?

A uniform rod of length L rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rod is pivoted about a fixed frictionless axis at one end. The rod is initially at rest. A bulled travelling parallel to the horizontal surface and perpendicular to the rod with speed v strikes the rod at its centre and becomes embedded in it. the mass of the bullet is one-sixth the mass of the rod. (a). What is the final angular velocity of the rod? (b). What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the system after the collision to the kinetic energy of te bullet the o collision?

A uniform stick of length l is mounted so as to rotate about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the stick and at a distance d from the centre of mass. The time period of small oscillation has a minimum value when d//l is

A horizontal disc rotating freely about a vertical axis makes 100 rpm. A small piece of wax of mass 10 g falls vertically on the disc and adheres to it at a distance of 9 cm from the axis if the number of revolution per minute is thereby reduced to 90. Calculate the moment of inertia of disc.

A uniform stick of length l and mass m lies on a smooth table. It rotates with angular velocity omega about an axis perpendicular to the table and through one end of the stick. The angular momentum of the stick about the end is

A clean body of mass 100 g starts with a velocity of 2 m/s on a smooth horizontal plane, accumulating dust at the rate of 5 g/s. Find the velocity at the end of 20 seconds and the distance travelled during that period.

When a perosn throws a meter stivk it is found that the centre of the stick is moving with speed 10 m//s and left end stick with speed 20 m//s . Both points move vertically upwards at that moment. Then angular speed the stick is :
