A solid disk is mounted on a contraption with a spinning axis. Take another solid disk and place it on top and in the center of the contraption with the metal hoop. We make sure to apply the same torque to both contraptions. Which contraption spins faster and why? Explain this to me please. The concept is in the image below.

- You stand on a turn-table with arms extended out horizontally, as shown in the figure below. In each hand, she holds an 8 kg weight. In this initial state, your professor and the turn-table are rotating at a constant rate of 9 rpm. Note that each weight is held 85 cm from the axis of rotation. Your professor brings her arms, and the weights, inwards towards her axis of rotation, as shown in the figure. What is the final rotational speed, in rpm, of your professor on the turn- table? You can assume that the weights are located on the axis of rotation in this final state. Wi Wt inital rinal State stüte The turn-table has a moment of inertia of 0.31 kg m^2.

- Joseph, Winston, and Franklin are doing an experiment in lab that involves rotational dynamics. Using the apparatus below, Joseph places a disk with a mass of 379 g on the apparatus. Winston then hangs a 15 g mass from the pulley and releases it. The 15 g mass drops and then rises back up, then drops again. They each graph the angular velocity ω as a function of time as the hanging weight drops, rises, and drops again. Their graphs are shown below. Only one is correct. Identify the correct graph and explain why it is correct. For the incorrect graphs, explain why they are not correct.arrow_forwardA frictionless pulley has the shape of a uniform solid disk of mass 2.90 kg and radius 10 cm.
