हिन्दीTwo 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:
Correct answer · Option 2
\( \frac{1}{4}I(\omega_1 - \omega_2)^2 \)
Explanation
Using conservation of angular momentum, final angular velocity \( \omega = \frac{\omega_1 + \omega_2}{2} \). Loss in kinetic energy \( \Delta E = E_i - E_f = \frac{1}{2}I\omega_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}(2I)(\frac{\omega_1 + \omega_2}{2})^2 = \frac{1}{4}I(\omega_1 - \omega_2)^2 \).
