An ant is sitting on the edge of a rotating disc. If the ant walks along the diameter to reach the other end, how will the angular velocity of the disc change?

  • A
    It will remain constant.
  • B
    It will first decrease and then increase.
  • C
    It will first increase and then decrease.
  • D
    It will continuously increase.

The position vector of a particle is given by $\vec{r} = 2\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} - 12\hat{k}$ units. $A$ force $\vec{F} = p\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$ units acts on it. For what value of $p$ is the angular momentum conserved?

$A$ man stands on a rotating platform with his arms stretched horizontally,holding a $5\; kg$ weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is $30$ revolutions per minute. The man then brings his arms close to his body,with the distance of each weight from the axis changing from $90\; cm$ to $20\; cm$. The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to $7.6\; kg\; m^2$.
$(a)$ What is his new angular speed? (Neglect friction.)
$(b)$ Is kinetic energy conserved in the process? If not,from where does the change come about?

$A$ 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 $\frac{M}{3}$ is placed gently on the first disc co-axially. The new angular velocity will be:

$A$ man standing on a turn-table is rotating at a certain angular frequency with his arms outstretched. He suddenly folds his arms. If his moment of inertia with folded arms is $75 \%$ of that with outstretched arms,then his rotational kinetic energy will

$A$ wheel is rotating freely with an angular speed $\omega$ on a shaft. The moment of inertia of the wheel is $I$ and the moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible. Another wheel of moment of inertia $3I$ initially at rest is suddenly coupled to the same shaft. The resultant fractional loss in the kinetic energy of the system is:
