NEET 2013 Physics Conservation of Angular Momentum MCQ Question
Two discs are rotating about their axes, normal to the discs and passing through the centers of the discs. Disc D₁ has 2 kg mass and 0.2 m radius and initial angular velocity of 50 rad s⁻¹. The disc D₂ has 4 kg mass, 0.1 m radius and initial angular velocity of 200 rad s⁻¹. The two discs are brought in contact face to face, with their axes of rotation coincident. The final angular velocity (in rad.s⁻¹) of the system is:
60
100
120
40
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using conservation of angular momentum: I₁ω₁ + I₂ω₂ = (I₁ + I₂)ω_final. Calculate I₁ and I₂ using I = 0.5mr² and solve for ω_final.
