Statement I If there is no external torque on a body about its centre of mass, then the velocity of the centre of mass remains constant.
Statement II The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.
- A Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement
- B Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I
- C Statement I is true, Statement II is false
- D Statement I is false, Statement II is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Statement I is false, Statement II is true
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
If a force is applied at centre of mass of a rigid body, its torque about centre of mass will be zero, but acceleration will be non-zero. Hence, velocity will change.
\(\therefore\) Correct option is \((\mathrm{d})\).

\(\therefore\) Correct option is \((\mathrm{d})\).

JEE Advanced 2015 Hard - List-I shows four configurations, each consisting of a pair of ideal electric dipoles. Each dipole has a dipole moment of magnitude \(p\), oriented as marked by arrows in the figures. In all the configurations the dipoles are fixed such that they are at a distance \(2 r\) apart along the \(x\) direction. The midpoint of the line joining the two dipoles is \(X\). The possible resultant electric fields \(\vec{E}\) at \(X\) are given in List-II. Choose the option that describes the correct match between the entries in List-I to those in List-II.
