The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation using the principles of angular momentum and moment of inertia. Here's a step-by-step breakdown: ### Step 1: Understand the System The dancer is on a rotating platform holding two spheres. When she drops one of the spheres, we need to consider the effects on angular momentum and angular velocity. ### Step 2: Apply Conservation of Angular Momentum In the absence of external torques, the angular momentum of the system must be conserved. This means that the initial angular momentum (L_initial) must equal the final angular momentum (L_final). ### Step 3: Define Initial and Final Angular Momentum 1. **Initial Angular Momentum (L_initial)**: - Let \( I_0 \) be the moment of inertia of the dancer. - Let \( I_1 \) and \( I_2 \) be the moments of inertia of the two spheres. - The initial angular momentum can be expressed as: \[ L_{\text{initial}} = (I_0 + I_1 + I_2) \cdot \omega_i \] where \( \omega_i \) is the initial angular velocity. 2. **Final Angular Momentum (L_final)**: - After dropping one sphere, the moment of inertia of the system changes. Now, only the dancer and one sphere contribute to the moment of inertia: \[ L_{\text{final}} = (I_0 + I_2) \cdot \omega_f \] where \( \omega_f \) is the final angular velocity. ### Step 4: Set Initial and Final Angular Momentum Equal Using the conservation of angular momentum: \[ (I_0 + I_1 + I_2) \cdot \omega_i = (I_0 + I_2) \cdot \omega_f \] ### Step 5: Solve for Final Angular Velocity Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \omega_f = \frac{(I_0 + I_1 + I_2)}{(I_0 + I_2)} \cdot \omega_i \] Since \( I_1 \) is positive, it follows that: \[ \omega_f > \omega_i \] This indicates that the final angular velocity increases when the dancer drops the sphere. ### Step 6: Conclusion on Angular Momentum and Angular Velocity - **Angular Momentum**: Unchanged (conserved). - **Angular Velocity**: Increases. Thus, the correct answer is that the angular momentum remains unchanged and the angular velocity increases. ### Final Answer **Angular momentum unchanged and angular velocity increases.** ---
