$A$ man spinning in free space changes the shape of his body,e.g.,by spreading his arms or curling up. By doing this,he can change his

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. When the particle has risen to a height $h$ on the wedge,choose the correct alternative$(s)$.

If the earth suddenly stops revolving and all its rotational $KE$ is used up in raising its temperature and if $s$ is taken to be the specific heat of the earth's material,the rise of temperature of the earth will be: ($R =$ radius of the earth and $\omega =$ its angular velocity,$J =$ Joule's constant)

$A$ stick of length $l$ and mass $M$ lies on a frictionless horizontal surface on which it is free to move in any way. $A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with speed $v$ collides elastically with the stick at one of its ends as shown in the figure. If after the collision the ball comes to rest,what should be the mass of the ball?

In the case of rotational dynamics,which one of the following statements is correct?
$[\vec{\omega} = \text{angular velocity}, \vec{v} = \text{linear velocity}, \vec{r} = \text{radius vector}, \vec{\alpha} = \text{angular acceleration}, \vec{a} = \text{linear acceleration}, \vec{L} = \text{angular momentum}, \vec{p} = \text{linear momentum}, \vec{\tau} = \text{torque}, \vec{f} = \text{force}]$

The moment of inertia of a ring about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is $I$. It is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$. Another identical ring is gently placed on it so that their centres coincide. If both rings are rotating about the same axis, then the loss in kinetic energy is
