A rhinoceros beetle rides the rim of a horizontal disk rotating counterclockwise like a merry-go-round. Assume that the disk is not being driven by an external torue, so that the motion of the beetle can affect the motion of the disk. Required:
a. If the beetle then walks along the rim in the direction of the rotation, will the magnitude of the angular momentum of the beetle-disk system (measured about the rotation axis) increase, decrease, or remain the same (the disk is still rotating in the counterclockwise direction)?
b. If the beetle then walks along the rim in the direction of the rotation, will the magnitude of the angular momentum and angular velocity of the beetle (measured about the rotation axis) increase, decrease, or remain the same (the disk is still rotating in the counterclockwise direction)?

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i.e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.
