When a person dancing on ice pulls their arms inward,they start spinning faster. This is due to:

An equilateral triangle $ABC$ is made of a uniform wire. Two identical beads are initially at $A$. The triangle is set to rotate about a vertical axis $AO$. The beads are then released simultaneously from rest to slide down along $AB$ and $AC$. Neglecting friction,which quantities are conserved as the beads slide down?

$A$ particle of mass $1 \ kg$ is subjected to a force which depends on the position as $\vec{F} = -k(x \hat{i} + y \hat{j}) \ N$ with $k = 1 \ kg \ s^{-2}$. At time $t = 0$,the particle's position is $\vec{r} = (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{i} + \sqrt{2} \hat{j}) \ m$ and its velocity is $\vec{v} = (-\sqrt{2} \hat{i} + \sqrt{2} \hat{j} + \frac{2}{\pi} \hat{k}) \ m \ s^{-1}$. Let $v_x$ and $v_y$ denote the $x$ and $y$ components of the particle's velocity,respectively. Ignore gravity. When $z = 0.5 \ m$,the value of $(x v_y - y v_x)$ is . . . . . $m^2 \ s^{-1}$.

Two discs of moment of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ and angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are rotating along collinear axes passing through their centre of mass and perpendicular to their plane. If the two are made to rotate together along the same axis,the rotational $KE$ of the system will be:

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$ : In a conical pendulum,angular momentum about its vertical axis remains constant.
Reason $(R)$ : Net torque about the vertical axis of a conical pendulum is not zero.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

$A$ thin horizontal circular disc is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. An insect is at rest at a point near the rim of the disc. The insect now moves along a diameter of the disc to reach its other end. During the journey of the insect, the angular speed of the disc:
