A rod of length L, whose lower end is sliding along the horizontal plane, starts to topple from the vertical position. The velocity of the upper end when it hits the ground is

  • gL

  • 3gL

  • 5gL

  • 3gL


6.

Two bodies of moments of inertia I1 and I2 (I1 > I2) have equal angular momentum. If E1 and E2 are their kinetic energies of rotation, then

7.

An artificial satellite revolves around the earth in a circular orbit with a speed v. If m is the mass of the satellite, its total energy is

  • 12mv2

  • -12mv2

  • -mv2

  • 32mv2


B.

-12mv2

The kinetic energy of satellite KE = 12mv2

The potential energy of satellite PE = -GMmr = -mv2 where v = GMr

Total Energy of satellite = KE + PE

= 12mv2 - mv2 = -12mv2
