A disk of mass m and moment of inertia of I is spinning freely at 6.00 rad/s when a second identical disk, initially not spinnin

g, is dropped onto it so that their axes coincide. In a short time, the two disks are corotating. What is the angular speed of the new system

Answer:

The angular speed of the new system is 3\,\frac{rad}{s}.

Explanation:

Due to the absence of external forces between both disks, the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation is observed. Since axes of rotation of each disk coincide with each other, the principle can be simplified into its scalar form. The magnitude of the Angular Momentum is equal to the product of the moment of inertial and angular speed. When both disks begin to rotate, moment of inertia is doubled and angular speed halved. That is:

I\cdot \omega_{o} = 2\cdot I \cdot \omega_{f}

Where:

I - Moment of inertia of a disk, measured in kilogram-square meter.

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

\omega_{f} - Final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

This relationship is simplified and final angular speed can be determined in terms of initial angular speed:

\omega_{f} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \omega_{o}

Given that \omega_{o} = 6\,\frac{rad}{s}, the angular speed of the new system is:

\omega_{f} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(6\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)

\omega_{f} = 3\,\frac{rad}{s}

The angular speed of the new system is 3\,\frac{rad}{s}.

.<br> Why are meteorites moving?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Glow

Explanation:

Actually, it is the air in front of the meteoroid that heats up. The particle is traveling at speeds between 20 and 30 kilometers per second. It compresses the air in front, causing the air to get hot. The air is so hot it begins to glow — creating a meteor - the streak of light observed from Earth.

Hope this helped!

a machine with a mechanical advantage of 2.5 requires an input force of 120 newtons. What output force is applied by this machin
creativ13 [48]
If your machine has a mechanical advantage of 2.5, then WHATEVER force you apply to the input, the force at the output will be 2.5 times as great.

If you apply 1 newton to the machine's input, the output force is

                 (2.5 x 1 newton)  =  2.5 newtons.

If you apply 120 newtons to the machine's input, the output force is

                 (2.5 x 120 newtons)  =  300 newtons.
