A solid disk, spinning counter-clockwise, has a mass of $1 kg$ and a radius of $2 m$ . If a point on the edge of the disk is moving at a rate of $2 m/s$ in the direction perpendicular to the disk's radius, what is the disk's angular momentum and velocity?

The angular momentum is $=2kgm^2s^-1$ and the angular velocity is $=1rads^-1$

The angular velocity is

$omega=(Deltatheta)/(Deltat)$

$v=r*((Deltatheta)/(Deltat))=r omega$

$omega=v/r$

where,

$v=2ms^(-1)$

$r=2m$

So,

$omega=(2)/(2)=1rads^-1$

The angular momentum is $L=Iomega$

For a solid disc, $I=(mr^2)/2$

So, $I=1*(2)^2/2=2kgm^2$

The angular momentum is

$L=1*2=2kgm^2s^-1$
