Two discs, each having moment of inertia 5 kg m2 about its central axis, both rotating in same sense with speeds 10 rad s-1 and 20 rad s-1, are brought in contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincided. The loss of kinetic energy in the process is

a
2 J
b
5 J
c
125 J
d
0 J

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Applying conservation of angular momentum,     (5+5)ω′=5×10+5×20=150or  ω′=15 rads−1Initial kinetic energy                         =12×5×10×10+12×5×20×20=250+1000=1250 JFinal kinetic energy =12×10×15×15=1125 JLoss of kinetic energy =(1250−1125)J=125 J

A boy stands over the centre of a horizontal platform which is rotating freely with a speed of 2 revolutions/s about a vertical axis through the centre of the platform and straight up through the boy. He holds 2 kg masses in each of his hands close to his body. The. combined moment of inertia of the system is 1 kg×metre2. The boy now stretches his arms so as to hold the masses far from his body. In this situation, the moment of inertia of the system increases to 2kg×metre2. The kinetic energy of the system in the latter case as compared with that in the previous case will
