A person is standing on a platform that is free to rotate around a vertical axis (frictionless). Initially the person and the platform are not rotating. The person holds a wheel in their hands that when viewed from above is rotating in a counterclockwise (ccw) direction. The person flips the wheel over so now viewed from above it is rotating in a clockwise (cw) direction. Which of the following statements best describes what happens after the wheel is flipped and why?

The diagram shows a mass, M, starting at point A with a speed vo. The mass moves along a path that includes a hill of height, h, a valley of height –h/2, and when it reaches point B, which is at the same height as point A, it has a speed, v = 0.5vo. Which of the following expressions correctly corresponds to the work done by an external force (Fext)?
