Two buckets spin around in a
horizontal circle on
frictionless bearings.
Suddenly, it starts to rain. As
a result,
A. The buckets speed up because the potential energy of the
rain is transformed into kinetic energy.
B. The buckets continue to rotate at constant angular velocity
because the rain is falling vertically while the buckets move
in a horizontal plane.
C. The buckets slow down because the angular momentum of
the bucket + rain system is conserved.
D. The buckets continue to rotate at constant angular velocity
because the total mechanical energy of the bucket + rain
system is conserved.
E. None of the above.
