Solution

The correct option is D ω22
Given: A uniform disc of mass m and radius R is rotating with angular velocity ω on a smooth horizontal surface. Another identical disc is moving translationally with velocity v as shown. When they touch each other, they stick together.
To find the angular velocity of centre of mass of the system after contact
Solution:
Let I,ω be the moment of inertia and angular velocity before collision.
And let I,ω be the moment of inertia and angular velocity when they stick
Then
Applying the conservation of energy, we get
12Iω2+12mv2=12Iω2mr22ω2+mω2r2=32mr2×2ω2ω22+ω2=3ω2ω2=12ω2ω=ω2
is the angular velocity of centre of mass of the system after contact
