When a dancer pulls their arms inward while spinning on ice,they spin faster. This is due to:

  • A
    An increase in energy and an increase in angular momentum.
  • B
    $A$ decrease in friction on the ice.
  • C
    Conservation of angular momentum and an increase in kinetic energy.
  • D
    An increase in kinetic energy and a decrease in angular momentum.

$A$ small object is attached to a light string which passes through a hollow tube. The tube is held by one hand and the string by the other. The object is set into rotation in a circle of radius $r_1$. The string is then pulled down,shortening the radius of the circle to $r_2$. The ratio of the new kinetic energy to the original kinetic energy is

$A$ thin uniform circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane with an angular velocity $\omega$. Another disc of same dimension but of mass $M/4$ is placed gently on the first disc coaxially. The angular velocity of the system now is
