State the principle of conservation of angular momentum

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: • Apply conservation of angular momentum to determine the angular velocity of a rotating system in which the moment of inertia is changing • Explain how the rotational kinetic energy changes when a system undergoes changes in both moment of inertia and angular velocity So far, we have looked at the angular momentum of systems consisting of point particles and rigid bodies. We have also analyzed the torques involved, using the expression that relates the external net torque to the change in angular momentum, However, suppose there is no net external torque on the system, [latex]\sum \mathbf=0.[/latex] In this case, law of conservation of angular momentum. [latex]\mathbf[/latex] is conserved. Any of the individual angular momenta can change as long as their sum remains constant. This law is analogous to linear momentum being conserved when the external force on a system is zero. As an example of conservation of angular momentum, [latex][/latex] must increase to keep the angular momentum constant. Figure 11.14 (a) An ice skater is spinning on the tip of her skate with her arms extended. Her angular momentum is conserved because the net torque on her is negligibly small.

This problem appeared on the 2021 $F=ma$ Test that was held three days ago. However, I'm having trouble understanding other solutions. Exact wording of problem: "A uniform solid circular disk of mass $m$ is on a flat, frictionless horizontal table. The center of mass of the disk is at rest and the disk is spinning with angular frequency $\omega_0$. A stone, modeled as a point object also of mass $m,$ is placed on the edge of the disk, with zero initial velocity relative to the table. A rim built into the disk constrains the stone to slide, with friction, along the disk's edge. After the stone stops sliding with respect to the disk, what is the angular frequency of rotation of the disk and the stone together?" Given answer: $\omega_f=(1/2) \omega_0$. My solution: In order to apply conservation of angular momentum, we need to have a COR that stays consistent. So that means we should choose the center of mass of the system as our COR throughout the process. The beginning angular momentum with CM=COR would be $(1/2+1/4)mR^2 \omega_0$ by parallel axis theorem. And our final angular momentum with CM=COR should be $\omega_f m(R/2)^2+(1/2+1/4)mR^2 \omega_f$. This gives us $\omega_f=3/4 \omega_0$. However, in some of the solutions other people have posted, they choose the center of the disk as the beginning COR and then the CM as the final COR. I'm pretty sure this is incorrect since the angular momentum depends on COR. In the other solutions that do keep COR=CM throughout the proc...

We have also analyzed the torques involved, using the expression that relates the external net torque to the change in angular momentum, However, suppose there is no net external torque on the system, ∑ τ → = 0 . ∑ τ → = 0 . In this case, law of conservation of angular momentum. 11.11 Note that the total angular momentum L → L → is conserved. Any of the individual angular momenta can change as long as their sum remains constant. This law is analogous to linear momentum being conserved when the external force on a system is zero. As an example of conservation of angular momentum, | F → | and | r → | | F → | and | r → | are small, so | τ → | | τ → | is negligible. Consequently, she can spin for quite some time. She can also increase her rate of spin by pulling her arms and legs in. Why does pulling her arms and legs in increase her rate of spin? The answer is that her angular momentum is constant, so that Figure 11.14 (a) An ice skater is spinning on the tip of her skate with her arms extended. Her angular momentum is conserved because th...

Law of conservation of angular momentum: When no external torque is acting on a body then the angular momentum of that rotating body is constant. I 1ω 1 = I 2ω 2 (when τ = 0) Here I is the moment of inertia and ω is angular. velocity. Example: An athlete diving off a high springboard can bring his legs and hands close to the body and performs Somersault about a horizontal axis passing through his body in the air before reaching the water below it. During the fall his angular momentum remains constant.
