Important Questions on Motion and Its Laws






A wheel of radius "rolls without slipping with a speed on a horizontal road. When it is at a point on the road a small bob of the mud separates from wheel at the highest point and touches the point on the road as shown in the figure. Then is (g-acceleration due to gravity)


A solid disc of radius and mass rolls down without slipping on an inclined plane making an angle with the horizontal. The acceleration of the disc will be , where is _______. (Round off to the nearest integer)
( acceleration due to gravity and angle as shown in figure)




A ball is rolling without slipping in a spherical shallow bowl (radius ) as shown in the figure and is executing simple harmonic motion. If the radius of the ball is doubled, then the time period of oscillation




A mass moves in a circle on a smooth horizontal plane with velocity at a radius . The mass is attached to a string which passes through a smooth hole in plane as shown.
The tension in the string is increased gradually and finally moves in a circle of radius . The final value of the kinetic energy is:
