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 (Fig. P8.67). The wheel spins with an angular speed of 17.5 rad/s and its initial angular momentum is directed up. The wheel's moment of inertia is 0.150 kg⋅m2 and the moment of inertia for the student plus stool is 3.00 kg⋅m2.

(a) Find the student's final angular speed after he turns the wheel over so that it spins at the same speed but with its angular momentum directed down.

(b) Will the student's final angular momentum be directed up or down?

A student sits on a swivel seat. Initially the student is at rest,holding a spinning bicycle wheel that has an angular velocity of13.5 rad/s (see figure below). The student turns the spinning wheelupside down, reversing the direction of its angular velocity. Thiscauses the student to begin to rotate. Find the student's finalangular velocity. The moments of inertia of the wheel and of thestudent are 0.313 kg · m2 and 2.09 kg · m2 respectively.

A student sits on a pivoted stool while holding a pair of weights.(See Figure) The stool is free to rotate about a vertical axis withnegligible friction. The moment of inertia of student, weights, andstool is 2.25 kg · m2. The student is set in rotation with armsoutstretched, making one complete turn every 1.26 s, armsoutstretched.

Question If the student suddenly releases the weights, how does hisown angular momentum, rotational kinetic energy, and angular speedchange? (Select all that apply.)

A star with an initial radius of 1.00 108 m and period of 30.0 dayscollapses suddenly to a radius of 1.00 104 m.

(a) Find the period of rotation after collapse.

(b) Find the work done by gravity during the collapse if the massof the star is 2.00 1030 kg.

The only force doing work on the system is gravitation, so the workdone by gravitation is the change in kinetic energy of the star.J

(c) What is the speed of an indestructible person standing on theequator of the collapsed star? (Neglect any relativistic or thermaleffects, and assume the star is spherical before and after itcollapses).

HINTS
* Do you expect the initial angular speed to be larger or smallerthan the final angular speed? How is angular speed related toperiod of rotation?

* Is the initial moment of inertia larger or smaller than the finalmoment of inertia?

* Is angular momentum conserved?

* As the star collapses, do you expect the period of rotation tobecome smaller or larger?
