$A$ mass is whirled in a circular path with constant angular velocity and its linear velocity is $v$. If the string is now halved keeping the angular momentum same,the linear velocity is

Two uniform circular discs are rotating independently in the same direction around their common axis passing through their centres. The moment of inertia and angular velocity of the first disc are $0.1 \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ and $10 \; rad \cdot s^{-1}$ respectively,while those for the second one are $0.2 \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ and $5 \; rad \cdot s^{-1}$ respectively. At some instant,they get stuck together and start rotating as a single system about their common axis with some angular speed. The kinetic energy of the combined system is ........... $J$.

The angular momentum of a system of particles is not conserved:

If the torque applied on a particle is zero,then its angular momentum will be:
