Rotational Motion – Phase 2 (Page 7)

Ultra-Tough IIT-JEE Advanced Problems (Multi-Concept)

These problems test true rotational mastery. You must combine collision, rolling, angular momentum, energy.


TP-6 (IIT-JEE Advanced)

A disc of mass M and radius R is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface. A particle of mass m moving with velocity v hits the rim tangentially and sticks. Find the velocity of the centre just after collision.

Solution:

External impulse in horizontal direction exists ⇒ linear momentum NOT conserved.

But torque about centre is zero ⇒ angular momentum conserved.

Initial angular momentum:
Li = m v R

Final moment of inertia:
I = ½MR² + mR²

Angular velocity:
ω = (m v R) / (½MR² + mR²)

Velocity of centre:
vcm = ωR

Answer: vcm = (m v) / (M/2 + m)


TP-7 (IIT-JEE)

A uniform rod of mass M and length L rests on a smooth horizontal surface. It is given an impulse at one end perpendicular to its length. Find angular velocity of the rod.

Solution:

Impulse J gives:
Linear momentum = J

Angular impulse about centre:
L = J × (L/2)

Moment of inertia about centre:
I = ML²/12

Angular velocity:
ω = (J L / 2) / (ML²/12)

Answer: ω = 6J / (ML)


TP-8 (JEE Advanced)

A sphere rolls down an incline and then moves on a smooth surface. Which quantity changes suddenly at the junction?

Logic:

On incline: rolling ⇒ both translation + rotation
On smooth surface: no friction ⇒ no torque

Answer: Angular acceleration becomes zero suddenly


TP-9 (IIT-JEE Advanced)

A disc rolls without slipping and suddenly enters a smooth surface. What happens to its angular velocity?

Solution:

No friction ⇒ no torque ⇒ angular velocity remains constant

Answer: Angular velocity remains unchanged


TP-10 (IIT-JEE Advanced – Trap)

A rotating body has zero angular momentum. Can it still be rotating?

Explanation:

Angular momentum depends on reference point.

Yes, it can rotate and still have L = 0 about some axis.

Answer: Yes (depends on reference axis)


IIT-LEVEL THINKING RULES

✔ Always check which conservation law applies
✔ Linear momentum often fails, angular momentum survives
✔ Axis selection decides everything
✔ Sudden changes → check impulses & torques
✔ Do NOT assume rolling everywhere
