Two discs with moments of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ and angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are rotating about collinear axes passing through their centers of mass and perpendicular to their planes. If they are joined together to rotate about the same axis,the rotational kinetic energy 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 the above

$A$ man stands on a rotating platform with his arms stretched horizontally,holding a $5\; kg$ weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is $30$ revolutions per minute. The man then brings his arms close to his body,with the distance of each weight from the axis changing from $90\; cm$ to $20\; cm$. The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to $7.6\; kg\; m^2$.
$(a)$ What is his new angular speed? (Neglect friction.)
$(b)$ Is kinetic energy conserved in the process? If not,from where does the change come about?

$A$ mass $m$ moves in a circle on a smooth horizontal plane with velocity $v_0$ at a radius $R_0$. The mass is attached to a string which passes through a smooth hole in the plane as shown. The tension in the string is increased gradually and finally $m$ moves in a circle of radius $\frac{R_0}{2}$. The final value of the kinetic energy is

$A$ child is standing at the center of a rotating platform with hands folded. The kinetic energy of the system is $K$. The child now stretches his hands,doubling the moment of inertia. The kinetic energy of the system will now become ........

Two small beads are initially at $A$ on an equilateral triangle made of uniform wires. The triangle is rotated about the vertical axis $AO$. The beads are released from rest simultaneously and slide down along $AB$ and $AC$ respectively (as shown in the figure). Which quantities are conserved as the beads slide down? (Friction is negligible)

$A$ circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating about its axis with angular speed $\omega_{1}$. If another stationary disc having radius $\frac{R}{2}$ and same mass $M$ is dropped co-axially onto the rotating disc,gradually both discs attain a constant angular speed $\omega_{2}$. The energy lost in the process is $p \%$ of the initial energy. The value of $p$ is:
