Rotational kinetic energy

A rough-surfaced turntable mounted on frictionless bearings initially rotates at 1.8 rev/s about its vertical axis. The rotational inertia of the turntable is 0.020 kg . m2. A 200-g lump of putty is dropped onto the turntable from 0.0050 m above the turntable and at a distance of 0.15 m from its axis of rotation. The putty adheres to the surface of the turntable. (a) Find the initial kinetic energy of the turntable. (b) What is the final rotational speed of the system (the lump of putty and turntable)? (c) What is the final linear speed of the lump of putty? Find the change in kinetic energy of (d) the turntable, (e) the putty, and (f) the putty-turntable combination. How do you account for your answers?
