Two identical discs are spinning on a vertical rod, at different rotation rates. The bottom disc is or a support, and the top disc is sliding down to hit the bottom one. Once they hit, they rotate together as a single object. Calculate the rotation rate just after the collision, in rev/s. Bottom rotation rate: 4700 rev/s Top rotation rate: 8500 rev/s • Mass 280 grams Radius 28 cm
