Question
![A student holds a spinning bicycle wheel while sitting motionless on a stool that is free to rotate about a vertical axis through its center (see the figure below). The wheel spins with an angular speed of 18.6 rad/s and its initial angular momentum is directed up. The wheel's moment of inertia is 0.130 kg · m² and the moment of inertia for the student plus stool is 3.50 kg · m².
**Diagram Explanation:**
- **Figure (a)**: The student holds the wheel with its angular momentum \( L_{\text{wheel}} \) directed upwards.
- **Figure (b)**: The same student has turned the wheel over, so its angular momentum \( L_{\text{wheel}} \) is directed downwards.
These figures illustrate the change in the direction of the wheel’s angular momentum and the expected resulting change in the student’s angular speed and momentum direction due to conservation of angular momentum.
**Questions:**
(a) Find the student's final angular speed (in rad/s) after he turns the wheel over so that it spins at the same speed but with its angular momentum directed down.
\[ \text{Answer:} \ \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \ \text{rad/s} \]
(b) Will the student's final angular momentum be directed up or down?

The moment of inertia of a solid disc is I = ½ m r2. EXAM The disc initially rolls with a velocity of 2 m/s along a horizontal surface. It then rolls up a ramp and briefly stops when it reaches a height h. The disc rolls without slipping on both surfaces. a) What is the angular velocity of the disc when it is on the horizontal surface? b) What is the speed of a point on the very top of the disc when the disc is on the horizontal surface? c) Use Conservation of Energy to find the maximum height of the disc, h. d) If the disc were replaced with a thin ring (same mass, same radius, same initial speed), would it roll higher, less high, or the same height? No calculations required. Briefly explain your answer! e) If there were no friction (the disc slides instead of rolling), but the disc still has the same initial speed, would it roll higher, less high, or the same height?arrow_forwardA 85.0-kg skater begins a spin with an angular speed of 8.00 rad/s.
