$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is lying on a smooth table. $A$ small particle of mass $m$ strikes the rod with a velocity $v_0$ at point $C$ at a distance $x$ from the centre $O$. The particle comes to rest after the collision. The value of $x$ such that point $A$ of the rod remains stationary just after the collision is:

  • A
    $L/3$
  • B
    $L/6$
  • C
    $L/4$
  • D
    $L/12$

$(2)$ Angular momentum is generated in a body when a ............. acts on it.
$(3)$ If a barrel is filled half with water,its center of gravity will move ............. .
$(4)$ The point at which the entire mass of a body is assumed to be concentrated is called the ............. .

State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(1)$ The angular acceleration of an object rotating with a constant angular velocity is always zero.
$(2)$ An object can have a moment of inertia without energy.
$(3)$ The radius of gyration of an object is a constant quantity.
$(4)$ $A$ figure skater spins faster when they pull their arms in because their moment of inertia decreases.
