A large horizontal disk is rotating on a vertical axis through its center; for the disk, I=4000 kg m2. The disk is coasting at a rate of 0.150 rev/s when a 90.0-kg person drops onto the disk from an overhanging tree limb. The person lands and remains at a distance of 3.00 m from the axis of rotation. What will be the rate of rotation after the person has landed?
A)0.125 rev/s
B)0.14 rev/s
C)5.5 rev/s
D)0.14 rev/s
4
A 500-g wheel that has a moment of inertia of 0.015 kg · m2 is initially turning at 30 rev/s. It coasts to rest after 163 rev. How large is the torque that slowed it?
A)0.04 N·m
B)0.26 N·m
C)0.09 N·m
D)4.50 N·m

A)80 J
B)240 J
C)160 J
D)320 J
6
A wheel and axle having a total moment of inertia of 0.0020 kg · m2 is caused to rotate about a horizontal axis by means of an 800-g mass attached to a cord wrapped around the axle. The radius of the axle is 2.0 cm. Starting from rest, how far must the mass fall to give the wheel a rotational rate of 3.0 rev/s?
A)5.3 cm
B)4.5 cm
C)52 cm
D)3.8
7

A)the coin
B)the wedding ring
C)the two objects reach the bottom at the same time
D)we cannot answer this question with the given information

B)She decreases her angular speed.
C)Her moment of inertia remains constant.
D)Her total angular momentum remains constant.
