$A$ child with mass $m$ is standing at the edge of a disc with moment of inertia $I$,radius $R$,and initial angular velocity $\omega$. See the figure given below. The child jumps off the edge of the disc with tangential velocity $v$ with respect to the ground. The new angular velocity of the disc is

Two discs of moments of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre),and rotating with angular speed $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident. What is the loss in kinetic energy of the system in the process?

An equilateral triangle $ABC$ is made of a uniform wire. Two identical beads are initially at $A$. The triangle is set to rotate about a vertical axis $AO$. The beads are then released simultaneously from rest to slide down along $AB$ and $AC$. Neglecting friction,which quantities are conserved as the beads slide down?

The angular momentum of a particle performing circular motion under a central force is constant because of .........

$A$ circular plate is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to the plate with an angular velocity $\omega$. $A$ person sits at the center holding two dumbbells. When he stretches out his hands,the moment of inertia of the system becomes triple. If $E$ is the initial kinetic energy of the system,then the final kinetic energy will be $\frac{E}{x}$. The value of $x$ is $....$
