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

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{I_b I_t}{(I_t + I_b)} \omega_i^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{I_b^2}{(I_t + I_b)} \omega_i^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{I_t^2}{(I_t + I_b)} \omega_i^2$
  • D
    $\frac{I_b - I_t}{(I_t + I_b)} \omega_i^2$

$A$ 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?

$A$ horizontal circular platform of radius $R = 0.5 \ m$ and mass $M = 0.45 \ kg$ is free to rotate about its axis. Two massless spring toy-guns,each carrying a steel ball of mass $m = 0.05 \ kg$,are attached to the platform at a distance $r = 0.25 \ m$ from the centre on its either sides along its diameter (see figure). Each gun simultaneously fires the balls horizontally and perpendicular to the diameter in opposite directions. After leaving the platform,the balls have a horizontal speed of $v = 9 \ m/s$ with respect to the ground. The rotational speed of the platform in $rad/s$ after the balls leave the platform is:
