AP Physics 1
6.4 Conservation of Angular Momentum
6.3 Angular Momentum and Angular Impulse
A student is initially at rest on a stool that is free to rotate without friction about a vertical axis. The student holds a bicycle wheel that is spinning such that its angular momentum vector \(\vec{L}_w\) points vertically upward. The student then flips the wheel over so that its angular momentum vector points vertically downward. Which of the following correctly describes the motion of the student-stool system after the flip and provides a valid justification?
