Figure shows two identical particles 1 and 2, each of mass $$m$$, moving in opposite directions with same speed $$\mathbf{v}$$ along parallel lines. At a particular instant $$\mathbf{r}_1$$ and $$\mathbf{r}_2$$ are their respective position vectors drawn from point $$A$$ which is in the plane of the parallel lines. Choose the correct options.
The net external torque on a system of particles about an axis is zero. Which of the following are compatible with it?
Figure shows a lamina in $$x y$$-plane. Two axes $$z$$ and $$z^{\prime}$$ pass perpendicular to its plane. A force $$\mathbf{F}$$ acts in the plane of lamina at point $$P$$ as shown. Which of the following are true? (The point $$P$$ is closer to $$z^{\prime}$$-axis than the $$z$$-axis.)
With reference to figure of a cube of edge $$a$$ and mass $$m$$, state whether the following are true or false. (0 is the centre of the cube.)
The centre of gravity of a body on the earth coincides with its centre of mass for a small object whereas for an extended object it may not. What is the qualitative meaning of small and extended in this regard? For which of the following two coincides? A building, a pond, a lake, a mountain?
When the vertical height of the object is very small as compared to the earth's radius, we call the object small, otherwise it is extended.
(i) Building and pond are small objects.
(ii) A deep lake and a mountain are examples of extended objects.
