When a dancer pulls their arms inward while spinning on ice,they spin faster. This is due to:

  • A
    An increase in energy and an increase in angular momentum.
  • B
    $A$ decrease in friction on the ice.
  • C
    Conservation of angular momentum and an increase in kinetic energy.
  • D
    An increase in kinetic energy and a decrease in angular momentum.

$A$ man is standing on the edge of a circular platform. The platform is rotating with a constant angular velocity about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane. If the man walks along the radius towards the axis, the angular velocity will ........ .

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

If the radius of the Earth becomes $1/n^{th}$ of its present value,without any change in its mass,then the duration of the day becomes:

$A$ man stands on a rotating platform with his arms stretched horizontally,holding a $5\; kg$ weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is $30$ revolutions per minute. The man then brings his arms close to his body,with the distance of each weight from the axis changing from $90\; cm$ to $20\; cm$. The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to $7.6\; kg\; m^2$.
$(a)$ What is his new angular speed? (Neglect friction.)
$(b)$ Is kinetic energy conserved in the process? If not,from where does the change come about?

$A$ solid sphere with uniform density and radius $R$ is rotating initially with constant angular velocity $\omega_1$ about its diameter. After some time,it starts losing mass at a uniform rate,with no change in its shape. The angular velocity of the sphere when its radius becomes $R/2$ is $x\omega_1$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .
