A uniform sphere of radius rolls without slipping down the top of a sphere of radius . The initial velocity of the sphere is negligible. The angular velocity of the fixed sphere at the moment when it breaks off from the other sphere is

A uniform thin rod of mass and length

A uniform sphere is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force is applied to it at a height above the centre. The acceleration of the centre of mass of the sphere will be

On a pulley of mass hangs a rope with two masses and tied at the ends as shown in the figure. The pulley rotates without any friction, whereas the friction between the rope and the pulley is large enough to prevent any slipping. Which of the following plots best represents the difference between the tensions in the rope on the two sides of the pulley as a function of the mass of the pulley?

A solid cylinder P rolls without slipping from rest down an inclined plane attaining a speed at the bottom. Another smooth solid cylinder of same mass and dimensions slides without friction from rest down the inclined plane attaining a speed at the bottom. The ratio of the speeds is -

A solid sphere rolls without slipping, first horizontally and then up to a point at height on an inclined plane before rolling down, as shown in the figure below.
The initial horizontal speed of the sphere is

A rigid ball rolls without slipping on a surface shown below.
Which on the following is the most likely representation of the distance travelled by the ball vs time graph?

A rod of length slide down along the inclined wall as shown in figure. At the instant shown in figure, the speed of end A is , then the speed of B will be
