Scatter light doesn't reflect, reflect light goes off a mirror.

Answer:

L₀ = L_f , K_f < K₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we start as the angular momentum, with the friction force they are negligible and if we define the system as formed by the disk and the clay sphere, the forces during the collision are internal and therefore the angular momentum is conserved.

This means that the angular momentum before and after the collision changes.

Initial instant. Before the crash

L₀ = I₀ w₀

Final moment. Right after the crash

L_f = (I₀ + mr²) w

we treat the clay sphere as a point particle

how the angular momentum is conserved

L₀ = L_f

I₀ w₀ = (I₀ + mr²) w

w = $\frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}$ w₀

having the angular velocities we can calculate the kinetic energy

starting point. Before the crash

K₀ = ½ I₀ w₀²

final point. After the crash

K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) w²

sustitute

K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) ( $\frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}$ w₀)²

Kf = ½ $\frac{I_o^2}{ I_o + m r^2}$ w₀²

we look for the relationship between the kinetic energy

$\frac{K_f}{K_o}$ = $\frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}$

$\frac{K_f}{K_o } < 1$

K_f < K₀

we see that the kinetic energy is not constant in the process, this implies that part of the energy is transformed into potential energy during the collision
