Homework Statement
You are standing on the edge of a turntable with frictionless bearings that is initially rotating when you catch a ball that is moving in the same direction (but faster than) you are moving and on a line tangent to the edge of the turntable. Assume you do not move on the turntable.
1. What happens to the angular speed of the turntable during the catch?
A. It increases.
B. It decreases.
C. It remains the same.
2. What happens to your angular momentum during the catch?
A. It increases.
B. It decreases.
C. It remains the same.
3. What happens to the angular momentum of the ball during the catch?
A. It increases.
B. It decreases.
C. It remains the same.
4. What happens to the total angular momentum of the entire system (turntableyou- ball) during the catch?
A. It increases.
B. It decreases.
C. It remains the same.
