SECTION-D
29.​We know that the motion of a rigid body, in general, is a combination of rotation and
translation. If the body is fixed at a point or along a line, it has only rotational motion.
let us take the example of opening or closing a door.

A door is a rigid body which can rotate about a fixed vertical axis passing through the
hinges. What makes the door rotate? It is clear that unless a force is applied the door
does not rotate. But any force does not do the job. A force applied to the hinge line
cannot produce any rotation at all, whereas a force of given magnitude applied at right
angles to the door at its outer edge is most effective in producing rotation. It is not the
force alone, but how and where the force is applied is important in rotational motion.
Answer the following questions:
i)​ The rotational analogue of ‘force’ in rotational motion is
(a) Moment of force ​ ​ ​ (b) Mass
(c) Gravitational force ​ ​ ​ (d) Moment of inertia
ii)​ Torque is
(a) 2( r x F) ​ ​ ​ (b) r.F
(c) r x F ​ ​ ​ ​ (d) 2(r.F)
iii)​ Why is the handle of a door fixed far away from the hinges?
iv)​ 120 N of force is required to open a nut using a spanner of length 10 cm. If
another spanner of length 6 cm is used to open the same nut, amount of force to
be applied is
(a) 100N ​​ ​ ​ (b) 200N
(c) 300N ​ ​ ​ ​ (d) 60N
OR
If applied torque on a system is zero, then for that system
(a)​Moment of inertia is zero
(b)​Angular momentum remains conserved
(c)​angular acceleration is constant
(d)​None of the above

30.​When an object moves along a straight line with uniform acceleration, it is possible to
relate its velocity, acceleration during motion and the displacement covered by it in a
 certain time interval by a set of equations known as the equations of motion. For
convenience, a set of three such equations are given below: v = u + at. s = ut + ½ at2,
2as = v2 – u2 Where u is the initial velocity of the object which moves with uniform
acceleration a for time t, v is the final velocity and s is the distance travelled by the
object in time t.
i)​ Equation of motions are applicable to motion with
(a)​uniform acceleration (c)​non uniform acceleration
(b)​constant velocity (d)​none of these
ii)​ The displacement travelled by a body is directly proportional to the square of time
taken ,its acceleration
(a)​increases ​ ​ ​ ​ (b)decreases
(c ) becomes zero ​ ​ ​ (d)remains constant
iii)​ The brakes applied to a car produce an acceleration of 10 m/s2 in the opposite
direction to the motion. If the car takes 1 s to stop after the application of brakes,
calculate the distance travelled during this time by car.
iv)​ An object is dropped from a tower falls with a constant acceleration of 10 m/s2. Find
its speed 10 s after it was dropped.
