Rotational kinetic energy

A turntable whose rotational inertia is 1.0 X 10-3 kg . m2 rotates on a frictionless air cushion at a rotational speed of 2.0 rev/s. A 1.0-g beetle falls to the center of the turntable and then walks 0.15 m to its edge. (a) Determine the rotational speed of the turntable with the beetle at the edge. (b) Determine the kinetic energy change of the system consisting of the turntable and the beetle. (c) Account for this energy change.
