Newtons third law of motion states, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

A disk rotates freely on a vertical axis with an angular velocity of 50 rpm . An identical disk rotates above it in the same dir

True [87]

Answer:

Final angular velocity is 35rpm

Explanation:

Angular velocity is given by the equation:

I1w1i + I2w2i = I1w1f -I2w2f

But the two disks are identical, so Ii =I2

wf can be calculated using

wf = w1i - w2i/2

Given: w1i =50rpm w2i= 30rpm

wf= (50 + 20) / 2

wf= 70/2 = 35rpm
