Q23 / 223 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Rotational Motion
An impulse is applied on a ring of mass along a line passing through its centre . The ring is placed on a rough horizontal surface. The linear velocity of centre of ring once it starts rolling without slipping is


- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Let be the velocity of COM of the ring just after the impulse is applied and is the velocity when pure rolling starts.
Angular velocity of the ring at this instant will be
Impulse = change in linear momentum
we have,
or
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
or
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
