Two discs with moments of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ and angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are rotating about collinear axes passing through their centers of mass and perpendicular to their planes. If they are joined together to rotate about the same axis,the rotational kinetic energy of the system will be:

$(a)$ $A$ child stands at the centre of a turntable with his two arms outstretched. The turntable is set rotating with an angular speed of $40\; rev/min$. How much is the angular speed of the child if he folds his hands back and thereby reduces his moment of inertia to $2/5$ times the initial value? Assume that the turntable rotates without friction.
$(b)$ Show that the child's new kinetic energy of rotation is more than the initial kinetic energy of rotation. How do you account for this increase in kinetic energy?

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis vertical to its plane with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. If two objects each of mass $m$ are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring,the ring will then rotate with an angular velocity:

Keeping the mass of the Earth constant, if its radius is halved, then what will be the duration of the day (in $\text{ hours}$)?

$A$ swimmer curls their body before entering the water so that...

$A$ circular disc has a moment of inertia $I_2$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane. Another disc with a moment of inertia $I_1$ is placed on it. If the system rotates about the same axis with an initial angular velocity $\omega$,what will be the final angular velocity of the combined system?
