$A$ boy stands with his hands folded at the center of a platform rotating about its central axis. The kinetic energy of the system is $K$. The boy now stretches his hands out, which doubles the moment of inertia of the system. The kinetic energy of the system will become

  • A
    $2 K$
  • B
    $K/2$
  • C
    $K/4$
  • D

$A$ horizontal circular platform of radius $R = 0.5 \ m$ and mass $M = 0.45 \ kg$ is free to rotate about its axis. Two massless spring toy-guns,each carrying a steel ball of mass $m = 0.05 \ kg$,are attached to the platform at a distance $r = 0.25 \ m$ from the centre on its either sides along its diameter (see figure). Each gun simultaneously fires the balls horizontally and perpendicular to the diameter in opposite directions. After leaving the platform,the balls have a horizontal speed of $v = 9 \ m/s$ with respect to the ground. The rotational speed of the platform in $rad/s$ after the balls leave the platform is:

$A$ person of $80\, kg$ mass is standing on the rim of a circular platform of mass $200\, kg$ rotating about its axis at $5$ revolutions per minute $(rpm)$. The person now starts moving towards the centre of the platform. What will be the rotational speed (in $rpm$) of the platform when the person reaches its centre?

Assertion $:-$ When no external torque is applied and moment of inertia of a rotating body changes,then its angular momentum remains conserved,but its kinetic energy changes.
Reason $:-$ Angular momentum does not depend upon moment of inertia of the body.

Two discs of same moment of inertia $I$ are rotating about their central axes perpendicular to their planes with angular velocities $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$. They are brought into contact face to face,such that their axes of rotation coincide. The expression for the loss of energy during this process is:

$A$ thin uniform circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. Another disc of the same radius but of mass $\frac{M}{2}$ is placed gently on the first disc co-axially. The new angular velocity will be
