A ball is thrown from the location \(\left(x_0, y_0\right)=(0,0)\) of a horizontal playground with an initial speed \(v_0\) at an angle \(\theta_0\) from the \(+x\)-direction. The ball is to be hit by a stone, which is thrown at the same time from the location \(\left(x_1, y_1\right)=(L, 0)\). The stone is thrown at an angle \(\left(180-\theta_1\right)\) from the \(+x\)-direction with a suitable initial speed. For a fixed \(v_0\), when \(\left(\theta_0, \theta_1\right)=\left(45^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}\right)\), the stone hits the ball after time \(T_1\), and when \(\left(\theta_0, \theta_1\right)=\left(60^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}\right)\), it hits the ball after time \(T_2\). In such a case, \(\left(T_1 / T_2\right)^2\) is _______ .

For case I :

\(a_{\text {rel }}=0\)
For collision \(\frac{\mathrm{v}_0}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{v}=\mathrm{v}_0\)
So \(\mathrm{T}_1=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\frac{\mathrm{v}_0}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\sqrt{2}}}\)
\(\therefore \tau_1=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\sqrt{2} \mathrm{v}_0} \ldots . .(1)\)
For case II,

\(a_{\text {rel }}=0\)
For collision, \(\frac{\mathrm{v}_0 \sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{2}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \mathrm{v}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{v}_0 \\
& \text { So, } \mathrm{T}_2=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\frac{\mathrm{v}_0}{2}+\mathrm{v} \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \\
& \mathrm{~T}_2=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\frac{\mathrm{v}_0}{2}+\frac{3 \mathrm{v}_0}{2}} \\
& \therefore \mathrm{T}_2=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2 \mathrm{v}_0} \ldots \ldots . .(2) \\
& \text { so, }\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}\right)^2=(\sqrt{2})^2=2 \Rightarrow\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}\right)^2=2
\end{aligned}\)

\(a_{\text {rel }}=0\)
For collision \(\frac{\mathrm{v}_0}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{v}=\mathrm{v}_0\)
So \(\mathrm{T}_1=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\frac{\mathrm{v}_0}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\sqrt{2}}}\)

& \therefore \mathrm{T}_2=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2 \mathrm{v}_0} \ldots \ldots . .(2) \\
& \text { so, }\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}\right)^2=(\sqrt{2})^2=2 \Rightarrow\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}\right)^2=2

- The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous axis passing through the centre of mass.
These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for example, a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless, stick, as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed \(\omega\), the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation of the centre of mass of the disc about the \(z\)-axis and (ii) a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points \(P\) and \(Q\) ). Both these motions have the same angular speed \(\omega\) in this case
Now consider two similar systems as shown in the figure: Case
(a) the disc with its face vertical and parallel to \(x-z\) plane; Case
(b) the disc with its face making an angle of
\(45^{\circ}\) with \(x-y\) plane and its horizontal diameter parallel to \(x\)-axis. In both the cascs, the disc is welded at point \(\mathrm{P}\), and the systems are rotated with constant angular speed \(\omega\) about the \(z\) axis.
Question : Which of the following statements about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?JEE Advanced 2012 Medium - One mole of a monatomic ideal gas is taken through a cycle \(A B C D A\) as shown in the \(p\)-V diagram.

- Two particles, 1 and 2 , each of mass \(m\), are connected by a massless spring, and are on a horizontal frictionless plane, as shown in the figure. Initially, the two particles, with their center of mass at \(x_0\), are oscillating with amplitude \(a\) and angular frequency \(\omega\). Thus, their positions at time \(t\) are given by \(x_1(t)=\left(x_0+d\right)+a \sin \omega t\) and \(x_2(t)=\left(x_0-d\right)-a \sin \omega t\), respectively, where \(d>2 a\). Particle 3 of mass \(m\) moves towards this system with speed \(u_0=a \omega / 2\), and undergoes instantaneous elastic collision with particle 2 , at time \(t_0\). Finally, particles 1 and 2 acquire a center of mass speed \(v_{\mathrm{cm}}\) and oscillate with amplitude \(b\) and the same angular frequency \(\omega\).
