A metal disc spins with an angular velocity ω0 about its center. A second disc (initially stationary) is dropped on top of the first disc. The second disc is made of the same material as the first but has only half the diameter (so its mass will also be smaller). (a) Show that the moment of inertia of the second disc is 1/16th the moment of inertia of the first. (b) State why the angular momentum of the system (the two discs) is conserved. (c) The discs stick and spin together with the same angular velocity. Find this final angular velocity in terms of ω0.

A disc of moment of inertia 3.00 kgm2 is rotating with angular velocity 2.00 rad/s about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its centre. Another disk (which is not rotating) of moment of inertia 5.00 kgm2 is gently placed over it. Finally, the two discs rotate with the same angular velocity around the common rotational axis. The new angular velocity of the combined disc (in rad/s) is ?
A cylinder with moment of inertia I1 rotates with angular velocity ω0 about a frictionless vertical axle. A second cylinder, with moment of inertia I2, initially not rotating, drops onto the first cylinder (Fig. P8.55). Because the surfaces are
rough, the two eventually reach the same angular velocity,ω.Figure P8.55(a) Calculate ω. (Use I1
for I1, I2 for I2, and w0
for ω0 in yourequation.)(b) Show that energy is lost in this situation (Do this on

The physics students wish to test the law of conservation of angular momentum perform a completely inelastic collision between two discs. They attach disc 1 (from part 1) to the rotational sensor then give it a spin. After about 4 seconds, they drop disc 2 on top of disc 1. The whole process takes only ~10 seconds total. Use the rate of change of the single disc angular velocity and the duration of the collision to find a corrected value...
A disc (thin cylinder) of mass 0.1 kg and radius 0.41 m is rotating on a frictionless axle at a constant rate of 74 RPM. What a the angular velocity and angular momentum of the disc? A second disc of 0.05 kg and 0.18 m is dropped down the axle on top. The two then rotate together. What is the final angular velocity and RPM of the system of discs?
A person spins with their arms extended at an angular velocity of 4 radians/second. When they bring their arms in, their angular velocity becomes 9 radians/second. Their moment of inertia with arms extended was I. What is the skater's moment of inertia with her arms drawn in?

A non-rotating ring with moment of inertia 4.86 × 10−3 kg∙m^2 right above the disk’s center is suddenly dropped onto the disk.

To understand how to use conservation of angular momentum to solve problems involving collisions of rotating bodies. Consider a turntable to be a circular disk of moment of inertia I_t rotating at a constant angular velocity omega_i around an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the disk (the disk's "primary axis of symmetry"). The axis of the disk is vertical and the disk is supported by frictionless bearings. The motor of the turntable is off, so...
