A block of mass m = 1 kg slides with velocity v = 6 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface and collides with a uniform vertical rod and sticks to it as shown. The rod is pivoted about O and swings as a result of the collision making angle θ before momentarily coming to rest. If the rod has mass M = 2 kg, and length l = 1 m, the value of θ is approximately: (Take g = 10 m/s²)

A flat surface of a thin uniform disk A of radius R is glued to a horizontal table. Another thin uniform disk B of mass M and with the same radius R rolls without slipping on the circumference of A, as shown in the figure. A flat surface of B also lies on the plane of the table. The center of mass of B has fixed angular speed ω about the vertical axis passing through the center of A. The angular momentum of B is nMωR² with respect to the center of A. Which of the following is the value of n?

A thin circular coin of mass 5 g and radius 4/3 cm lies initially in the horizontal xy-plane. It is tossed vertically upward by an impulse √(π/2)×10⁻² N·s applied 2/3 cm from its centre. The coin spins about a diameter and moves along +z. By the time it returns to its initial height, it completes n rotations. Find n. Take g = 10 m s⁻².

A bar of mass M = 1.00 kg and length L = 0.20 m is lying on a horizontal frictionless surface. One end of the bar is pivoted at a point about which it is free to rotate. A small mass m = 0.10 kg is moving on the same horizontal surface with 5.00 m·s⁻¹ speed on a path perpendicular to the bar. It hits the bar at a distance L/2 from the pivoted end and returns back on the same path with speed v. After this elastic collision, the bar rotates with an angular velocity ω. Which of the following statement is correct?
