In the figure the lower disk, of mass 440 g and radius 3.7 cm , is rotating at 180 rpm on a frictionless shaft of negligible radius. The upper disk, of mass 280 g and radius 2.0 cm , is initially not rotating. It drops freely down onto the lower disk, and frictional forces bring the two disks to a common rotational speed. A) Find the common speed. B) Find the fraction of the initial kinetic energy lost to friction.

A 3 kg disk of radius 0.25 m is rotating freely at an angular speed of 100 rad/s on a shaft passing through the center if mass of the disk. A 2 kg solid ball of the same radius, initially not rotating, slides down the shaft (the shaft passes through the ball's center of mass) and is coupled to the disk. Assuming that the rotational inertia is of the shaft is negligible, a) what is the angular speed of the...

A disk (mass of 3 kg, radius 30 cm) is rotating with an angular velocity w1= 5 rad/s. A second disk (mass 2kg, radius 15cm), which is rotating at w= -7 rad/s is dropped on top of the first disk. The disks are dropped so that they share a rotational axis, and they stick together. The moment of inertia of a disk is 1/2mr^2. What is the final angular speed of the two disks?
