A child is standing with his two arms outstretched at the centre of a turntable that is rotating about its central axis with an angular speed omega_0 . Now, the child folds his hands back so that moment of inertia becomes 3 times the initial value. The new angular speed is.

A horizonral circular plate is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre with an angular velocity omega_(0) . A man sitting at the centre having two blocks in his hands stretches out his hands so that the moment of inertia of the system doubles.

A boy stands over the centre of a horizontal platform which is rotating freely with a speed of 2 "revolutions"//s about a vertical axis through the centre of the platform and straight up through the boy. He holds 2 kg masses in each of his hands close to his body. The combined moment of inertia of the system is 1 kg xx metre^(2) . The boy now stretches his arms so as to hold the masses far from his body. In this situation, the moment of inertia of the system increases to 2 kgxxmetre^(2) , The kinetic energy of the system in the latter case as compared with that in the previous case will

A stationary horizontal disc is free to rotate about its axis. When a torque is applied on it its, kinetic energy as a function of theta , where theta is the angle by which it has rotated, is given as k theta . If its moment of inertia is I then the angular acceleration of the disc is :

A child stands at the centre of a turn table with his two arms outstretched. The turn table is set rotating with an angular speed of 40 rpm. How much is the angular speed of the child, if he folds his hands back reducing the moment of inertia to (2//5) time the initial value ? Assume that the turn table rotates without friction. (b) Show that the child's new K.E. of rotation is more than the initial K.E. of rotation. How do you account for this increase in K.E. ?
