$A$ boy is standing at the center of a turntable holding two blocks in his hands. The rotational kinetic energy of the system about the axis passing through the center is $K$. When the boy extends his arms,the moment of inertia of the system about the axis of rotation doubles. What will be the new rotational kinetic energy of the system?

  • A
    $K$
  • B
    $\frac{K}{2}$
  • C
    $2K$
  • D
    $\frac{K}{4}$

$A$ 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

If the earth suddenly shrinks to $\frac{1}{64}$th of its original volume with its mass remaining the same,the period of rotation of earth becomes $\frac{24}{x} \text{ h}$. The value of $x$ is $.......$

Two discs of same moment of inertia $I$ are rotating about their central axes perpendicular to their planes with angular velocities $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$. They are brought into contact face to face,such that their axes of rotation coincide. The expression for the loss of energy during this process is:

$A$ circular platform rotates in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise sits on the edge of the platform. The platform is given an initial angular velocity $\omega_0$. The tortoise now moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (relative to the platform). How does the angular velocity $\omega(t)$ of the platform change with time $t$?
