$A$ horizontal circular platform of radius $R = 0.5 \ m$ and mass $M = 0.45 \ kg$ is free to rotate about its axis. Two massless spring toy-guns,each carrying a steel ball of mass $m = 0.05 \ kg$,are attached to the platform at a distance $r = 0.25 \ m$ from the centre on its either sides along its diameter (see figure). Each gun simultaneously fires the balls horizontally and perpendicular to the diameter in opposite directions. After leaving the platform,the balls have a horizontal speed of $v = 9 \ m/s$ with respect to the ground. The rotational speed of the platform in $rad/s$ after the balls leave the platform is:

$A$ disc of mass $1 \, kg$ and radius $0.1 \, m$ is rotating with angular velocity $20 \, rad/s$. What is the angular velocity (in $rad/s$) if a mass of $0.5 \, kg$ is placed on the circumference of the disc?

$A$ person is standing at the edge of a circular plate that is rotating with a constant angular speed about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane. If the person starts walking along the radius towards the axis, the angular velocity of the system will:

$A$ circular disk of moment of inertia $I_t$ is rotating in a horizontal plane,about its symmetry axis,with a constant angular speed $\omega_i$. Another disk of moment of inertia $I_b$ is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disk. Initially,the second disk has zero angular speed. Eventually,both the disks rotate with a constant angular speed $\omega_f$. The energy lost by the initially rotating disk to friction is
