Question
A cockroach of mass m lies on the rim of a uniform disk of mass 7 m that can rotate freely about its center like a merry-go-round. Initially the cockroach and disk rotate together with an angular
velocity of 0.324 rad/s. Then the cockroach walks halfway to the center of the disk.
(a) What then is the angular velocity of the cockroach-disk system?
(b) What is the ratio K/Ko of the new kinetic energy of the system to its initial kinetic energy?
(a) w =
(b) K/KO
