A child is standing with folded hands at the center of a platform rotating about its central axis. The kinetic energy of the system is K. The child now stretches his arms so that the moment of inertia of the system doubles. The kinetic energy of the system now is :

A

2K

B

`(K)/(2)`

C

`(K)/(4)`

D

4K

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Here `Iomega` = constant
`therefore` where `I.=2I`
`omega.=(1)/(2)omega`
Now K.E. `K.=(1)/(2)I.omega^(.2)`
or `K.=(1)/(2)xx2Ixx((omega)/(2))^(2)`
`K.=(1)/(2).(Iomega^(2))/(2)=(K)/(2)`

Two discs of moments of inertia I_(1) and I_(2) about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre), and rotating with angular speeds ω_(1) and ω_(2) are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident. (a) What is the angular speed of the two-disc system? (b) Show that the kinetic energy of the combined system is less than the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the two discs. How do you account for this loss in energy? Take omega_(1)neomega_(2)

Two particles each of mass m and charge q are attached to the two ends of a light rigid rod of length 2R. The rod is rotated at constant angular speed about a perpendicular axis passing through its centre. The ratio of the magnitudes of the magnetic moment of the system and its angular momentum about the centre of the rod is
