A cylinder with rotational inertia I1=2.0kg·m2 rotates clockwise about a vertical axis through its center with angular speed ω1=5.0rad/s. A second cylinder with rotational inertia I2=1.0kg·m2 rotates counterclockwise about the same axis with angular speed ω2=8.0rad/s. If the cylinders couple so they have the same rotational axis what is the angular speed of the combination? What percentage of the original kinetic energy is lost to friction?

Tornadoes form in unusually violent thunderstorms when there is sufficient (1) instability and (2) wind shear present in the lower atmosphere. elaborate on what does instability mean when discussing the formation of a tornado? a) dry air in the middle atmosphere being rapidly cooled by rain b) winds at all levels of the atmosphere are strong and turn with height c) an isolated strong thunderstorm just ahead of a squall line that merges with the squall line d) very warm, humid conditions in the lower atmosphere; cooler than usual conditions in the upper atmosphere
