Question:

Two discs of same moment of inertia rotating about their regular axis passing through centre and perpendicular to the plane of disc with angular velocities $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ . They are brought into contact face to face coinciding the axis of rotation. The expression for loss of energy during this process is:-

Updated On: Jul 13, 2024
  • $\frac{1}{4} I (\omega_1 - \omega_2)^2$
  • $I (\omega_1 - \omega_2)^2$
  • $\frac{1}{8} I (\omega_1 - \omega_2)^2$
  • $\frac{1}{2} I (\omega_1+ \omega_2)^2$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$\Delta KE =\frac{1}{2} \frac{I_{1} I_{2}}{I_{1}+I_{2}}\left(\omega_{1}-\omega_{2}\right)^{2}$
$=\frac{1}{2} \frac{I^{2}}{(2 I)}\left(\omega_{1}-\omega_{2}\right)^{2}$
$=\frac{1}{4} l\left(\omega_{1}-\omega_{2}\right)^{2}$

Concepts Used:

Rotational Motion

Rotational motion can be defined as the motion of an object around a circular path, in a fixed orbit.

Rotational Motion Examples:

The wheel or rotor of a motor, which appears in rotation motion problems, is a common example of the rotational motion of a rigid body.

Other examples:

  • Moving by Bus
  • Sailing of Boat
  • Dog walking
  • A person shaking the plant.
  • A stone falls straight at the surface of the earth.
  • Movement of a coin over a carrom board 

Types of Motion involving Rotation:

  1. Rotation about a fixed axis (Pure rotation)
  2. Rotation about an axis of rotation (Combined translational and rotational motion)
  3. Rotation about an axis in the rotation (rotating axis)
