A metre scale is moving with uniform velocity. This implies

(a) The force acting on the scale is zero, but a torque about the centre of mass can act on the scale.

(b) The force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about centre of mass of the scale is also zero.

(c) The total force acting on it need not be zero but the torque on it is zero.

(d) Neither the force nor the torque need to be zero.

Two SHMs in same direction are represented by y1 = asinωt and y2 = asin(ωt + δ). When they superimpose, the initial phase difference of the resultant SHM is

The potential energy of a particle of mass 2 kg in motion along the x-axis is given by U = 2 (1 – cos 2x) J, where x is in meters. The period of small oscillations (in s) is

A child is standing with folded hands at the centre of a platform rotating about its central axis. The kinetic energy of the system is K. The child now stretches his arms so that the moment of inertia of the system becomes 3/2 of the initial moment of inertia. The kinetic energy of the system is now

If the absolute temperature of hot black body is raised by 2%, by how much percentage rate of heat energy radiated would be increased nearly?

Two moles of helium gas are taken over the cycle ABCDA as shown below in P-T diagram. Assuming the gas to be ideal, the work done on the gas in taking from A to B is
