Centre of gravity of a body is the point at which the weight of the body acts and the radius of gyration of any body rotating about an axis is the length of the perpendicular dropped from the CG of the body to the axis.
NEET UG 2010 — Physics Mechanics
(1) Centre of gravity (CG) of a body is the point at which the weight of the body acts. (2) Centre of mass coincides with the centre of gravity if the earth is assumed to have infinitely large radius. (3) To evaluate the gravitational field intensity due to any body at an external point, the entire mass of the body can be considered to be concentrated at its CG. (4) The radius of gyration of any body rotating about an axis is the length of the perpendicular dropped from the CG of the body to the axis. Which one of the following pairs of statements is correct?

A bullet of mass 10 g moving with 400 m/s penetrates a wall and comes to rest. The loss in kinetic energy is:
There are two inclined surface of equal length (L) and same angle of inclination $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. One of them is rough and the other is perfectly smooth. A given body takes 2 times as much time to slide down on rough surface than on the smooth surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction $\left(\mu_k\right)$ between the object and the rough surface is close to :
A balloon is made of a material of surface tension $S$ and its inflation outlet (from where gas is filled in it) has small area $A$. It is filled with a gas of density $\rho$ and takes a spherical shape of radius $R$. When the gas is allowed to flow freely out of it, its radius changes from $R$ to 0 (zero) in time $T$. If the speed $\eta(r)$ of gas coming out of the balloon depends on $r$ as $r^\alpha$ and $T \propto S^\alpha A^\beta \rho^\gamma R^\delta$ then
Two cities X and Y are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T min. A girl is driving scooty with a speed of 60 $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ in the direction X to Y notices that a bus goes past her every 30 minutes in the direction of her motion, and every 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period T of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.
A ball of mass 0.5 kg is dropped from a height of 40 m . The ball hits the ground and rises to a height of 10 m . The impulse imparted to the ball during its collision with the ground is (Take $\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )
