$A$ mass $m$ moves in a circle on a smooth horizontal plane with velocity $v_0$ at a radius $R_0$. The mass is attached to a string which passes through a smooth hole in the plane as shown. The tension in the string is increased gradually and finally $m$ moves in a circle of radius $\frac{R_0}{2}$. The final value of the kinetic energy is

  • A
    $mv_0^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}mv_0^2$
  • C
    $2mv_0^2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2$

$A$ horizontal circular platform of radius $R = 0.5 \ m$ and mass $M = 0.45 \ kg$ is free to rotate about its axis. Two massless spring toy-guns,each carrying a steel ball of mass $m = 0.05 \ kg$,are attached to the platform at a distance $r = 0.25 \ m$ from the centre on its either sides along its diameter (see figure). Each gun simultaneously fires the balls horizontally and perpendicular to the diameter in opposite directions. After leaving the platform,the balls have a horizontal speed of $v = 9 \ m/s$ with respect to the ground. The rotational speed of the platform in $rad/s$ after the balls leave the platform is:

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. Two objects,each of mass $m$,are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity:
