A potter's wheel is a uniform disk of mass of 10.0 kg and radius 20.0 cm. A 2.0-kg lump of clay, roughly cylindrical with radius 3.0 cm, is placed at the center of the wheel. The wheel initially rotates at 30.0 rev/min. The clay then flattens into a disk of radius 8.0 cm. What is the final angular speed of the wheel? a. 29.6 rev/min
b. 29.2 rev/min
c. 30.8 rev/min
d. 30.4 rev/min
e. 30.0 rev/min

b. 29.2 rev/min

Explanation:

        where I₀ = initial moment of inertia = moment of inertia of the disk +

        moment of inertia of the cylinder and ω₀ = initial angular velocity  =

       30.0 rev/min.

       where If = final moment of inertia = moment of the inertia of the solid

      disk + moment of  inertia of the clay flattened on a disk, and ωf = final

      angular velocity.

       ⇒ Lo =Lf = If*ωf

diagram is missing, but i will try to explain your doubt.

answer:

amplitude is the maximum displacement or distance moved on a point of a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.it is equal to half the length of vibration path.

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
