Q1
A satellite in space has initial rotational inertia $I_i=120,\text{kg·m}^2$ and spins at $\omega_i=1.5,\text{rad/s}$. It deploys solar panels, increasing inertia to $I_f=300,\text{kg·m}^2$ with negligible external torque. Angular momentum is conserved during deployment. Considering the given conditions, calculate the new speed of rotation when the configuration changes.
