Suppose you are standing at the center of a merry-go-round that is at rest. You are holding a spinning bicycle wheel with angular momentum L. There is no friction between the merry-go-round and its base, but there is static friction between your feet and the merry-go-round. You grab the edge of the wheel, stopping it from spinning. Afterwards, do you and the merry-go-round have angular momentum less than, equal to, or greater than L? Explain.

A 45 kg figure skater is spinning on the toes of her skates at 1.3 rev/s. Her arms are outstretched as far as they will go. In this orientation, the skater can be modeled as a cylindrical torso (40 kg, 20 cm average diameter, 160 cm tall) plus two rod-like arms (2.5 kg each, 71 cm long) attached to the outside of the torso. The skater then raises her arms straight above her head. In this latter orientation, she can be modeled as a 45 kg, 20-cm-diameter, 200-cm-tall cylinder.

A turntable s pins on a frictionless bearing. Its moment of inertia is 3.00 x 10-2 kg m2. It initially rotates at 25.0 rev/min about an axis through its center.

A 1.7 m wide door (mass 4.0 kg) is hinged at one side so that it can rotate without friction about a vertical axis. It is unlatched. A police officer fires a bullet with a mass of 80 g and a speed of 450 m/s into the edge of the door, in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door. Find the angular speed of the door just after the collision if the bullet embeds itself in the door. The moment of inertia of a door rotating about its edge is equal to MW2 where M is the mass of the door and W is its width. Before After W W W W

A 3.8-mm-diameter merry-go-round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0.80 rad/s. Its total moment of inertia is 1300 kg⋅m2. Four people standing on the ground, each of mass 61 kg, suddenly step onto the edge of the merry-go-round. What is the angular velocity of the merry-go-round now? What if the people were on it initially and then jumped off in a radial direction (relative to the merry-go-round)?
