Conservation of Angular Momentum
Two identical disks with moment of inertia I are initially spinning with angular velocities ω₁ and ω₂ in opposite directions. If they are brought into contact and eventually reach the same final angular velocity, what is the magnitude of the change in the system’s total angular momentum?
A
I|ω₁ - ω₂|
B
0
C
I|ω₁ + ω₂|
D
2I|ω₁ - ω₂|
