Q23 / 223 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Rotational Motion

An impulse J is applied on a ring of mass m along a line passing through its centre O . The ring is placed on a rough horizontal surface. The linear velocity of centre of ring once it starts rolling without slipping is

Figure

  • A
    J m
  • Correct answer
    B
    J 2m
  • C
    J 4m
  • D
    J 3m

Solution

Let v be the velocity of COM of the ring just after the impulse is applied and v'  is the velocity when pure rolling starts.

Angular velocity ω of the ring at this instant will be ω = v' r

Figure  
 ⇒Impulse = change in linear momentum
      we have,    J=mv
        or   v=J/m

   Between the two positions shown in figure force of
   friction on the ring acts backwards. Angular momentum
   of the ring about bottommost point will remain conserved

∴        L i = L f

or     mvr=mv'r+lω

        = mv' r + mr 2 v' r = 2 mv' r

∴       v' = v 2 = J/2m      

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
