Two men of equal masses stand at opposite ends of the diameter of a turntable disc of a certain mass, moving with constant angular velocity. The two men make their way to the middle of the turntable at equal rates. In doing so

a
kinetic energy of rotation has increased while angular momentum remains the same.
b
kinetic energy of rotation has decreased while angular momentum remains same.
c
kinetic energy of rotation has decreased but angular momentum has increased.
d
both kinetic energy of rotation and angular momentum have decreased

detailed solution

Correct option is A

I1ω1=I2ω2Since, men move towards middle of turn table I2 decreases hence ω2 increases.So kinetic energy increases and angular momentum remains constant.

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 kg masses in each of his hands close to his body. The. combined moment of inertia of the system is 1 kg×metre2. 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 2kg×metre2. The kinetic energy of the system in the latter case as compared with that in the previous case will
