    Assignment of Physics (Ch# 05) Date: __________
    Name _____________________________ Section______ Roll #_______________
    Note: - Answer the following questions!
    1- Explain the difference between tangential velocity and the angular velocity. If one of
    these is given for a wheel of known radius, how will you find the other?
    Ans:

    2- Explain what is meant by centripetal force and why it must be furnished to an object if
    the object is to follow a circular path?
    Ans:

    3- What is meant by moment of inertia? Explain its significance ?


    Ans:

    4- What is meant by angular momentum? Explain the law of conservation of angular


    momentum.
    Ans:

    Prepared by: Zeeshan Mahdi Page 1 of 3 0335~zeeshan.


    5- Show that orbital angular momentum Lo = mvr?
    Ans:

    6- Describe what should be the minimum velocity, for a satellite, to orbit close to the earth
    around it?
    Ans:

    7- State the direction or the following vectors in simple situations; angular momentum and
    angular velocity?
    Ans:

    Prepared by: Zeeshan Mahdi Page 2 of 3 0335~zeeshan.


    8- Explain why an object, orbiting the earth, is said to be freely falling. Use your
    explanation to point out why objects appear weightless under certain circumstances ?
    Ans:

    9- When mud flies off the tire of a moving bicycle, in what direction does it fly? Explain ?
    Ans:

    10- A disc and a hoop start moving down from the top of an inclined plane at the same time.
    Which one will be moving faster on reaching the bottom?
    Ans:

    11- Why does a diver change his body positions before and after diving in the pool?
    Ans:

    12- A student holds two dumb-bells with stretched arms while sitting on a turn table. He is
    given a push until he is rotating at certain angular velocity. The student then pulls the
    dumb-bells towards his chest. What will be the effect on rate of rotation ?
    Ans:

    13- Explain how many minimum number of geo-stationary satellites are required for global
    coverage of T.V transmission?
    Ans:
