HW15: Angular momentum. A disk of radius R = 0.2 m and mass M = 0.15 kg is spinning at angular velocity w = 2.5 rad/s. 1. What is the moment of inertia Id of the disk? 2. What is the magnitude of the angular momentum La? = A piece of superdense clay (Mc 0.1 kg) lands on the disk, at half the disk radius, and immediately sticks to it. Assume the piece of clay has negligible dimensions. 3. What is the magnitude of the linear velocity of the piece of clay? 4. What is the magnitude of the angular momentum Lc of the piece of clay? 5. What is the total angular momentum LT? 6. What is the total moment of inertia IT? Explain your reasoning with complete sentences. HW15: Angular momentum.
