A disk of mass M is spinning freely at 4.67 rad/s when a second identical disk, initially not spinning, is dropped onto it so that their axes coincide. In a short time the two disks are corotating.

(a) What is the angular speed of the new system (in rad/s)? rad/s

(b) If a third such disk is dropped on the first two, find the final angular speed of the system (in rad/s). rad/s

A disk (mass of 3 kg, radius 30 cm) is rotating with an angular velocity w1= 5 rad/s. A second disk (mass 2kg, radius 15cm), which is rotating at w= -7 rad/s is dropped on top of the first disk. The disks are dropped so that they share a rotational axis, and they stick together. The moment of inertia of a disk is 1/2mr^2. What is the final angular speed of the two disks?

You look down on a spinning disk with mass M and radius R. recall a disk has moment of inertial (1/2)MR^2. The disk is spinning on a frictionlessly (supported on a perfect air hockey table). The disk is spinning at 21.00rad/s. A hoop (at rest--not spinning) with the same mass and same radius is centered over the disk and dropped on the disk --- where the hoop sticks to the disk. What is the final angular speed (in Rad/s) of...
