Question A turntable has a moment of inertia of 3.00*10^-2 kgm^2 and spins freely on a frictionless bearing at 25.0 rev/min. A 0.300-kg ball of putty is dropped vertically on the turntable and sticks at a point 0.100 m from the center. By what factor does the angular momentum of the system change after the putty is dropped onto the turntable? | |
Answer 1.00 (no change) | |
