Q. A boy stands over the centre of a horizontal platform which is rotating freely with a speed of

2

revolutions/s about a vertical axis through the centre of the platform and straight up through the boy. He holds

2 k g

masses in each of his hands close to his body. The combined moment of inertia of the system is

1 k g m^{2}

. The boy now stretches his arms so as to hold the masses far from his body. In this situation, the moment of inertia of the system increases to

2 k g m^{2}

. The kinetic energy of the system in the latter case as compared with that in the previous case will

Q. The kinetic energy of a man is half the kinetic energy of a body of half of his mass. If the man increases his speed by

1 m / s

then his kinetic energy becomes equal to that of the boy. The ratio of the velocity of the boy and that of the man is:

Q. Assertion :A man is standing at the centre on a horizontal rotating turntable (rotating on a smooth horizontal surface) has two dumbbells in his hands. If he brings them closer to himself, the kinetic energy of the whole system increases. Reason: In absence of external torque kinetic energy of system remains conserved.

Q. A boy sitting firmly over a rotating stool (constant angular velocity) has his arms folded. If he stretches his arms, his angular momentum about the axis of rotation.

A child is standing with folded hands at the centre of a platform rotating about its central axis. The kinetic energy of the system is K. The child now stretches his hands so that the moment of inertia of the system doubles. The kinetic energy of the system now is:
