State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(1)$ Angular position $\theta$ is a scalar,while angular displacement $\Delta \theta$ is a vector.
$(2)$ The relation between linear velocity $\vec{v}$ and angular velocity $\vec{\omega}$ for a particle in rotational motion is given by $\vec{v} = \vec{r} \times \vec{\omega}$.
$(3)$ The moment of inertia of a rigid body is constant.
$(4)$ The moment of momentum is called angular momentum.

(A) $(1)$ True. Angular displacement for small angles is treated as a vector.
$(2)$ False. The correct relation is $\vec{v} = \vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}$.
$(3)$ False. The moment of inertia depends on the axis of rotation and the distribution of mass relative to that axis.
$(4)$ True. Angular momentum is defined as the moment of linear momentum,$\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}$.

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(1)$ In the law of conservation of momentum, the center of mass velocity remains constant.
$(2)$ "If the resultant of internal forces on a system is zero, then the total linear momentum of the system remains constant." This is the statement of the law of conservation of linear momentum.
$(3)$ The position of the center of mass of a rigid body must always be inside the rigid body.
$(4)$ All particles of a rigid body undergoing rotational motion have the same linear velocity.

If the earth suddenly stops revolving and all its rotational $KE$ is used up in raising its temperature and if $s$ is taken to be the specific heat of the earth's material,the rise of temperature of the earth will be: ($R =$ radius of the earth and $\omega =$ its angular velocity,$J =$ Joule's constant)

$A$ 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 a fixed angular speed $\omega$ about the vertical axis passing through the center of $A$. The angular momentum of $B$ is $n M \omega R^2$ with respect to the center of $A$. Which of the following is the value of $n$?
