The pucks will rotate with the same angular rate even after changing the masses of the puck.

Further Explanation:

The two hover pucks collide with each other and stick to one another after the collision. Use the concept of momentum conservation in order to obtain the final rate of rotation of the pucks.

The conservation of momentum means that the momentum of the two bodies remains equal to the momentum of the combined two bodies after they collide if there is no other means of energy loss.

Concept:

Let the two hover pucks have masses ${m_1}$ and ${m_2}$ which are being rotated at the rate of ${v_1}$ and ${v_2}$ respectively.

We can write the expression for the momentum conservation of the pucks as.

$\fbox{\begin\\{m_1}{v_1}+{m_2}{v_2}=\left({{m_1}+{m_2}}\right)v\end{minispace}}$ …… (1)

Here, ${m_1}$ is the mass of first puck, ${m_2}$ is the mass of the second puck, ${v_1}$ is the linear rate of the first puck, ${v_2}$ is the linear rate of the second puck and is the final rate of the two hover pucks.

The rate of the rotation of the pucks after collision will be,

$v = \dfrac{{{m_1}{v_1} + {m_2}{v_2}}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}$

Now, when the masses of the two pucks is doubled and the other conditions are kept same.

Substitute $2{m_1}$ for ${m_1}$ and $2{m_2}$ for ${m_2}$ in above expression.

$\begin{aligned}v'&=\frac{{2{m_1}{v_1}+2{m_2}{v_2}}}{{2{m_1}+2{m_2}}}\\&=\frac{{{m_1}{v_1}+{m_2}{v_2}}}{{{m_1}+{m_2}}}\\&=v\\\end{gathered}$

Thus, the above expression shows that the momentum of the hover pucks remains conserved and the hover pucks rotate with the same angular rate.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
