$A$ 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:

  • A
    $25$
  • B
    $27$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $15$

$A$ smooth uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ has two identical beads of negligible size,each of mass $m$,which can slide freely along the rod. Initially,the two beads are at the center of the rod and the system is rotating with angular velocity ${\omega _0}$ about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through the midpoint of the rod (see figure). There are no external torques. When the beads reach the ends of the rod,the angular velocity of the system is

$A$ thin horizontal circular disc is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. An insect is at rest at a point near the rim of the disc. The insect now moves along a diameter of the disc to reach its other end. During the journey of the insect,the angular speed of the disc

An ant is sitting at the edge of a rotating disc. If the ant reaches the other end, after moving along the diameter, the angular velocity of the disc will

$A$ stone of mass $m$,tied to the end of a string,is whirled around in a circle on a horizontal frictionless table. The length of the string is reduced gradually,keeping the angular momentum of the stone about the centre of the circle constant. Then,the tension in the string is given by $T = Ar^n$,where $A$ is a constant and $r$ is the instantaneous radius of the circle. The value of $n$ is equal to

$A$ disc of moment of inertia $I_1$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane with a constant angular speed $\omega_1$. Another disc of moment of inertia $I_2$ having zero angular speed is placed coaxially on the rotating disc. Now,both the discs are rotating with a constant angular speed $\omega_2$. The energy lost by the initial rotating disc is
