MCQ
A smooth sphere $A$ is moving on a frictionless horizontal plane with angular speed $\omega $ and center of mass with velocity $v$. It collides elastically and head-on with an identical sphere $B$ at rest. Neglect friction everywhere. After the collision, their angular speeds are ${\omega _A}$ and ${\omega _B}$ respectively. Then
  • A
    ${\omega _A} < {\omega _B}$
  • B
    ${\omega _A} = {\omega _B}$
  • ${\omega _A} = \omega $
  • D
    $\omega = {\omega _B}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${\omega _A} = \omega $
c
As the spheres are smooth there will be no friction (no torque) and therefore there will be no transfer of angular momentum. Thus $\mathrm{A}$, after collision will remain with its intial angular momentum $i . e ., \omega_{A}=\omega$

As shown schematically in the figure, two vessels contain water solutions (at temperature $T$ ) of potassium permanganate $\left( KMnO _4\right)$ of different concentrations $n_1$ and $n_2\left(n_1>n_2\right)$ molecules per unit volume with $\Delta n=\left(n_1-n_2\right) \ll n_1$. When they are connected by a tube of small length $\ell$ and cross-sectional area $S , KMnO _4$ starts to diffuse from the left to the right vessel through the tube. Consider the collection of molecules to behave as dilute ideal gases and the difference in their partial pressure in the two vessels causing the diffusion. The speed $v$ of the molecules is limited by the viscous force $-\beta v$ on each molecule, where $\beta$ is a constant. Neglecting all terms of the order $(\Delta n)^2$, which of the following is/are correct? ( $k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant)-
