Question # 1
Is it true or wrong that a point on a wheel rotates from 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock, so its angular displacement is 90 degrees? If yes explain it if no write its reason. Marks = 4
Question # 2
A potter’s wheel rotates. A location farther from the axis will have a greater angular velocity than one closer to the axis. Either yes or no explain in each case. Marks = 5
Question # 3
a. Can you write the basic reason of resonance? Is there any role of natural frequency in this phenomenon or not?
b. Generally it is accepted about the slope at any point on the displacement graph of an object in SHM (Simple Harmonic Motion) isits velocity. Are you agree it or not? Marks = 7 (4+3)
Question # 4
I have a baseball bat. I shave off some weight fromthe handle and put it on the head of the bat. A baseball player thinks I have changed the bat’s moment of inertia. Ishe right? Marks = 4
