A system consists of a disk rotating on a frictionless axle and a piece of clay moving toward it, as shown in the figure. The outside edge of the disk is moving at a linear speed v, and the clay is moving at speed v/2. The clay sticks to the outside edge of the disk. A. What happens to the moment of inertia of the system? B. What happens to the angular velocity of the system? v/2 C. How could we decrease the torque that the clay imparts on the system? Clay Top View
