$A$ circular disc of moment of inertia $I_t$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about its symmetry axis with a constant angular speed $\omega_i$. Another disc of moment of inertia $I_b$ is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disc. Initially,the second disc has zero angular speed. Eventually,both the discs rotate with a constant angular speed $\omega_f$. The energy lost by the initially rotating disc to friction is:

$A$ small bead of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ gets threaded on a stationary semicircular ring of mass $m$ and radius $R$ kept on a horizontal table. The ring can freely rotate about its centre. The bead comes to rest relative to the ring. What will be the final angular velocity of the system?

Two identical beads are placed at vertex $A$ of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ made of a uniform wire. The triangle is rotated about the axis $AO$. The beads are then released from rest and move along $AB$ and $AC$ respectively (see figure). Neglecting friction,which of the following quantities will be conserved during the downward motion of the beads?

$A$ swimmer can easily perform somersaults in the air while jumping from a height if he:

$A$ solid cube of wood of side $2a$ and mass $M$ is resting on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The cube is free to rotate about a fixed axis $AB$. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ $(m << M)$ and speed $v$ is shot horizontally at the face opposite to $ABCD$ at a height of $4a/3$ from the surface to impart the cube an angular speed $\omega$. It strikes the face and embeds in the cube. Then,$\omega$ is close to (Note: The moment of inertia of the cube about an axis perpendicular to the face and passing through the centre of mass is $2Ma^2/3$).
