Find the total kinetic energy of a dumbbell of total mass m when it is rotating at an angular speed of w, and its center of mass is moving translationally with a speed of v. Denote the dumbell's moment of inertia about its center of mass as Icm. If you approximate the spheres as point mass of m/2 each located at a distance of r from the center, you can find an approximation for the center of mass (though it is not required for this problem).

A student performed an experiment to prove the angular momentum conservation experiment using a rotating disk experiment. In this experiment a disk of mass =1kg and radius 1m was rotated initially at a speed of 40rot/s. While it was rotating, an identical disk was dropped on the top. By using conservation of angular momentum find the rotation speed of the combined system. Hint: Rotational Inertia of the disk of mass m and radius r is I=(1/2)mr2. Conservation of angular momentum,I1w1=I2w2 where I1 is the initial inertia of the disk and w1=40rot/s,I2=2I1.Solve for w2
