$A$ thin and circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about its geometrical axis with an angular velocity $\omega$. If another disc of same dimensions but of mass $M/4$ is placed gently on the first disc coaxially,then the new angular velocity of the system is:

  • A
    $5/4 \omega$
  • B
    $2/3 \omega$
  • C
    $4/5 \omega$
  • D
    $3/2 \omega$

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. Two objects,each of mass $m$,are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity:

State the law of conservation of angular momentum and explain it with the example of a girl sitting on a swivel chair.

$A$ thin rod of mass $0.9\, kg$ and length $1\, m$ is suspended,at rest,from one end so that it can freely oscillate in the vertical plane. $A$ particle of mass $0.1\, kg$ moving in a straight line with velocity $80\, m/s$ hits the rod at its bottom-most point and sticks to it. The angular speed (in $rad/s$) of the rod immediately after the collision will be

$A$ circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now, the platform is given an angular velocity $\omega_0$. When the tortoise moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform $\omega(t)$ will vary with time $t$ as:

$A$ dancer on a smooth floor is spinning about a vertical axis at an angular velocity of $20 \ rad/s$ with her arms folded. When she stretches her arms out,the angular speed decreases to $10 \ rad/s$. If the initial moment of inertia of the dancer is $I$,what will be the new moment of inertia?
