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

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 centers of mass and perpendicular to their planes. If the two discs are made to rotate together along the same axis,what will be the rotational kinetic energy of the system?

Explain with illustration the pure translation and combination of translation and rotation motion of a rigid body.

$A$ 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:

$A$ solid sphere with uniform density and radius $R$ is rotating initially with constant angular velocity $\omega_1$ about its diameter. After some time,it starts losing mass at a uniform rate,with no change in its shape. The angular velocity of the sphere when its radius becomes $R/2$ is $x\omega_1$.
