Conservation Of Angular Momentum
A student sits on a rotating stool holding two masses. Initially, the student’s arms are extended with one mass in each hand, and the stool rotates at 0.5 rad/s. The student then moves both masses inward, reducing the moment of inertia to 1/4 of its initial value. What is the final angular velocity?
A
0.125 rad/s
B
0.5 rad/s
C
2.0 rad/s
D
4.0 rad/s
