Concepts Of Physics MCQ Edition [Volume 1]PhysicsRotational Mechanics
A kid of mass M stands at the edge of a platform of radius R which can rotate freely about its axis. The moment of inertia of the platform is I . The system is initially at rest, and the kid holds a ball of mass m while standing on the rim. He throws the ball horizontally, tangential to the rim, with speed v as seen by his friend. Find the angular velocity with which the platform starts rotating.
Options
- AmvR I + MR^2
- BmvR I
- Cm v I + MR^2
- DmvR I + (M + m)R^2
Correct answer
A. mvR I + MR^2
Step-by-step solution
mvR I + MR^2
