Class 11PhysicsSystem of Particles and Rotational MotionConservation of angular momentum (combined translation and rotational motion)
Easy$A$ person is rotating on a rotating table with an angular speed of $\omega$. He holds two identical masses in his outstretched hands. Without moving his hands,he simply drops the masses. How will his angular velocity change?
- AIt will be less than $\omega$
- BIt will be greater than $\omega$
- CIt will remain equal to $\omega$
- DWhether it is less than,greater than,or equal to $\omega$ depends on the amount of mass

$A$ mass $m$ moves in a circle on a smooth horizontal plane with velocity $v_0$ at a radius $R_0$. The mass is attached to a string which passes through a smooth hole in the plane as shown. The tension in the string is increased gradually and finally $m$ moves in a circle of radius $\frac{R_0}{2}$. The final value of the kinetic energy is

View Solution$A$ dancer on a smooth floor is spinning about a vertical axis at an angular velocity of $20 \ rad/s$ with her arms folded. When she stretches her arms out,the angular speed decreases to $10 \ rad/s$. If the initial moment of inertia of the dancer is $I$,what will be the new moment of inertia?
