A solid sphere of radius 0.5 m and mass 3 kg is rolling without slipping on a flat surface. What is its angular momentum when rolling at a speed of 4 m/s?
💡 Hint: Remember to use both angular dynamics and kinematic relations to link linear and angular velocities.
A dancer with a moment of inertia of 2 kg·m² starts at rest and spins up to 4 rad/s while pulling in their arms. If we assume no external torques, what is their initial angular momentum?
💡 Hint: Reflect on the importance of starting conditions when measuring momentum.
