Two discs of moment of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ and angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are rotating along collinear axes passing through their centre of mass and perpendicular to their plane. If the two are made to rotate together along the same axis,the rotational $KE$ of the system will be:

  • A
    $\frac{I_1\omega_1 + I_2\omega_2}{2(I_1 + I_2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{(I_1 + I_2)(\omega_1 + \omega_2)^2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{(I_1\omega_1 + I_2\omega_2)^2}{2(I_1 + I_2)}$
  • D
    None of these

$A$ circular disc of moment of inertia $I_t$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about its symmetry axis with a constant angular speed $\omega_i$. Another disc of moment of inertia $I_b$ is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disc. Initially,the second disc has zero angular speed. Eventually,both the discs rotate with a constant angular speed $\omega_f$. The energy lost by the initially rotating disc to friction is:

$A$ particle is moving in a uniform circular motion. At which point in the plane of the circle will the angular momentum of the particle be conserved?

$A$ wheel is rotating freely with an angular speed $\omega$ on a shaft. The moment of inertia of the wheel is $I$ and the moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible. Another wheel of moment of inertia $3I$ initially at rest is suddenly coupled to the same shaft. The resultant fractional loss in the kinetic energy of the system is:

$A$ block of ice is placed at the center of a circular table. The table rotates with an angular velocity $\omega$ about a vertical axis passing through its center. If the ice melts without evaporation,what will happen to the rotational speed of the system?

$A$ circular platform rotates in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise sits on the edge of the platform. The platform is given an initial angular velocity $\omega_0$. The tortoise now moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (relative to the platform). How does the angular velocity $\omega(t)$ of the platform change with time $t$?
