Assertion $:-$ When no external torque is applied and moment of inertia of a rotating body changes,then its angular momentum remains conserved,but its kinetic energy changes.
Reason $:-$ Angular momentum does not depend upon moment of inertia of the body.

$A$ rigid body of mass $2 \ kg$ is moving in a circular path of radius $0.8 \ m$ with an angular velocity of $44 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. If the radius of the circular path becomes $1 \ m$,the new angular velocity of the body will be ........ $rad \ s^{-1}$.

$A$ circular platform rotates in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise sits on the edge of the platform. The platform is given an initial angular velocity $\omega_0$. The tortoise now moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (relative to the platform). How does the angular velocity $\omega(t)$ of the platform change with time $t$?
