A large metal turntable in the shape of a flat uniform disk has a radius of 2.00 m and a total mass of 120 kg. The turntable is initially rotating at about a vertical axis through its center. Suddenly, a 70.0 kg package dropped from an airplane lands at the very edge of the turntable. Calculate the angular speed of the turntable after the package lands. (Assume that you can treat the package as a particle.). Use three significant digits.

The allele for having an unattached earlobe is completely dominant over the allele for having an attached earlobe. Solely based on this information, you can say that:
