A thin horizontal circular disc is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. An insect is at rest at a point near the rim of the disc. The insect now moves along a diameter of the disc to reach its other end. During the journey of the insect, the angular speed of the disc.
As insect moves along a diameter, the effective mass and hence the M.I. first decreases then increases so from principle of conservation of angular momentum, angular speed, first increases then decreases.

A wheel of bicycle is rolling without slipping on a level road. The velocity of the centre of mass is $${v_{CM}},$$ then true statement is
A
The velocity of point $$A$$ is $$2{v_{CM}}$$ and velocity of point $$B$$ is zero
B
The velocity of point $$A$$ is zero and velocity of point $$B$$ is $$2{v_{CM}}$$
C
The velocity of point $$A$$ is $$2{v_{CM}}$$ and velocity of point $$B$$ is $$ - {v_{CM}}$$
D
The velocities of both $$A$$ and $$B$$ are $${v_{CM}}$$
Answer :
The velocity of point $$A$$ is $$2{v_{CM}}$$ and velocity of point $$B$$ is zero
Similarly, velocity of point $$A$$ is given by
$${v_{AB}} = {\text{velocity of centre of mass}}\left( {{v_{CM}}} \right) + {\text{Linear velocity of point }}A\left( {R\omega } \right){\text{ }}$$
$$\eqalign{
& = {v_{CM}} + {v_{CM}}\,\,\left( {\because {v_{CM}} = R\omega } \right) \cr
& = 2{v_{CM}} \cr} $$
Velocity of point $$B$$ is,
$$\eqalign{
& {v_B} = {v_{CM}} - R\omega \cr
& = {v_{CM}} - {v_{CM}} \cr
& = 0 \cr} $$
Thus, the velocity of point $$A$$ is $$2{v_{CM}}$$ and velocity of point $$B$$ is zero.

Two bodies have their moments of inertia $$I$$ and $$2I$$ respectively about their axis of rotation. If their kinetic energies of rotation are equal, their angular momenta will be in the ratio

The moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass $$M$$ and length $$L$$ about an axis passing through its mid-point and perpendicular to its length is $${I_0}.$$ Its moment of inertia about an axis passing through one of its ends and perpendicular to its length is
Apply parallel axes theorem of moment of inertia.
According to parallel axes theorem of moment of inertia,
$$\eqalign{
& I = {I_{CM}} + M{h^2} \cr
& {\text{So,}}\,\,I = {I_0} + M{\left( {\frac{L}{2}} \right)^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow I = {I_0} + \frac{{M{L^2}}}{4} \cr} $$
