Question

A disk with moment of inertia 9.15 × 10−3 kg∙m^2 initially rotates about its center at angular velocity 5.32 rad/s. A non-rotating ring with moment of inertia 4.86 × 10−3 kg∙m^2 right above the disk’s center is suddenly dropped onto the disk. Finally, the two objects rotate at the same angular velocity ?? about the same axis. There is no external torque acting on the system during the collision. Please compute the system’s quantities below. 1. Initial angular momentum ?? 3. Final angular velocity ?? 2. Initial rotational kinetic energy ?? 4. Final rotational kinetic energy ?f
