A wheel is rotating around a vertical axis with constant angular velocity.?
Small pieces of the wheel come off and fly away. How this affects the speed of rotation of the wheel? Is angular momentum conserved? The kinetic energy conserved? Explain. THANK YOU!
If parts of the wheel to come off, then there is mass must change. From the moment of inertia is proportional to the mass must also change. That means no, the angular momentum is not conserved, nor is the kinetic energy.
