A student holds a spinning bicycle wheel while sitting motionless on a stool that is free to rotate about a vertical axis through its center (see the figure below). The wheel spins with an angular speed of 16.1 rad/s and its initial angular momentum is directed up. The wheel's moment of inertia is 0.130 kg · m2 and the moment of inertia for the student plus stool is 3.10 kg · m2. Apply conservation of angular momentum. A)Find the student's final angular speed (in rad/s) after he turns the wheel over so that it spins at the same speed but with its angular momentum directed down. ___________rad/s B)Will the student's final angular momentum be directed up or down?
Ice skaters can increase the angular speed of their spins by pulling their arms towards their body. A skater with their arms extended has a moment of inertia of 2.49 kg m2 and a moment of inertia of 0.77 kg m2 after pulling their arms in. If a skater begins a spin with their arms extended such that they are rotating with an angular speed of 2.07 rad/s, what will their rotation speed be when they pull their arms in?
The figure above shows Einstein spinning on a platform. He is initially spinning at a rate of 1rev/s, and holding his hands a distance of R1 = 80.3 cm away from his body. He then pulls his arms in to a distance of R2 = 40cm, changing his rotational speed. In this problem you can model Einstein’s body as a cylinder with a moment of inertia I = 30MR2, where M is his mass (60kg), and R is the distance his hands are from his body. (Notice that the figure shows him holding weights, but we are going to assume they are massless, to make it simpler!)(a) If he draws his arms in very quickly, you can safely ignore any frictional force on the platform. Assuming this is true, how fast is he rotating after he draws his arms in? (b) In reality, after he draws his arms in friction will start to slow him down. If this small amount of friction is applying a torque of 4 Nm to the platform, how long would it take before Einstein stops moving?
A playground merry-go-round (a solid disk) has a mass of 120 kg and a radius of 1.80 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.500 rev/s. What is its angular velocity after a 22.0-kg child (who is initially at rest) gets onto it by grabbing its outer edge? (You can approximate the child as a point mass).

The moment of inertia of the disk is 0.14 kg.m2.

On average, both arms and hands together account for 13% of a person's mass, while the head is 7.0% and the trunk and legs account for 80%. We can model a spinning skater with her arms outstretched as a vertical cylinder (head, trunk, and legs) with two solid uniform rods (arms and hands) extended horizontally. Suppose a 67.0 kg skater is 1.60 m tall, has arms that are each 64.0 cm long (including the hands), and a trunk that can be modeled as being 32.0 cm in diameter. If the skater is initially spinning at 64.0 rpm with her arms outstretched, what will her angular velocity @2 be (in rpm) after she pulls in her arms and they are at her sides parallel to her trunk? Assume that friction between the skater and the ice is negligble. W2 = rpm Question Source: Freed
A sanding disk with rotational inertia 9.8 x 10-3 kg·m2 is attached to an electric drill whose motor delivers a torque of magnitude 46 N·m about the central axis of the disk.

Conceptual Example 14 provides useful background for this problem. A playground carousel is free to rotate about its center on frictionless bearings, and air resistance is negligible. The carousel itself (without riders) has a moment of inertia of 125 kg-m². When one person is standing on the carousel at a distance of 1.50 m from the center, the carousel has an angular velocity of 0.600 rad/s. However, as this person moves inward to a point located 1.01 m from the center, the angular velocity increases to 0.800 rad/s. What is the person's mass? m = i
A 10 kg cylindrical barrel with a radius of 0.5 m rotates about a vertical axis of rotation without displacing with an initial angular velocity of 4 rad/s.

If the barrel accumulates 4 kg of water, calculate the new angular velocity of the barrel.
