$A$ circular disc has a moment of inertia $I_2$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane. Another disc with a moment of inertia $I_1$ is placed on it. If the system rotates about the same axis with an initial angular velocity $\omega$,what will be the final angular velocity of the combined system?

  • A
    $\omega$
  • B
    $\frac{I_1 \omega}{I_1 + I_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{(I_1 + I_2) \omega}{I_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{I_2 \omega}{I_1 + I_2}$

Consider a uniform rod of mass $M=4m$ and length $\ell$ pivoted about its centre. $A$ mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ making an angle $\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$ to the rod's long axis collides with one end of the rod and sticks to it. The angular speed of the rod-mass system just after the collision is

$A$ 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 $t$?

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves with a velocity $v_0$ in a circle of radius $R_0$ on a smooth horizontal plane. The mass is tied to a string passing through a hole in the smooth plane as shown in the figure. The tension in the string is gradually increased,and finally,the mass $m$ moves in a circle of radius $\frac{R_0}{2}$. What is the ratio of the final kinetic energy to the initial kinetic energy?

$A$ boy stands at the center of a horizontal platform with $2 \ kg$ masses in each hand,held close to his body. The platform rotates about a vertical axis passing through its center at a speed of $2 \ rev/s$. The moment of inertia of the system is $1 \ kg \cdot m^2$. When the boy extends his arms fully with the masses,the moment of inertia becomes $2 \ kg \cdot m^2$. In the second state,the kinetic energy of the system compared to the first state will be:
