$A$ thin horizontal circular disc is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. An insect is at rest at a point near the rim of the disc. The insect now moves along a diameter of the disc to reach its other end. During the journey of the insect, the angular speed of the disc:

  • A
    continuously decreases
  • B
    first increases and then decreases
  • C
    continuously increases
  • D
    remains unchanged

If the radius of a rotating disc is suddenly halved while its mass remains the same,its angular velocity will become:

$A$ circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now, the platform is given an angular velocity $\omega_0$. When the tortoise moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform $\omega(t)$ will vary with time $t$ as:

$A$ horizontal disc rotating freely about a vertical axis through its centre makes $90$ revolutions per minute. $A$ small piece of wax of mass $m$ falls vertically on the disc and sticks to it at a distance $r$ from the axis. If the number of revolutions per minute reduces to $60$,then the moment of inertia of the disc is .........
