Passage / Comprehension

a plank of mass m rests on a smooth horizontal surface. A disc of the same mass and radius r is spun to angular speed ω0 and placed gently on it. Friction between disc and plank is internal. Slipping finally ceases and 50% of the initial kinetic energy is lost. The plank is long and the friction coefficient is μ.

Final velocity of the plank is:-

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Linear momentum is conserved and pure rolling finally holds.

The 50% energy-loss condition gives final common speed rω0/4.
