As the disk radiates infrared light its temperature falls


Following a collision between a large spacecraft and an asteroid, a copper disk of radius 28.0 m and thickness 1.20 m, at a temperature of 850°C, is floating in space, rotating about its axis with an angular speed of 20.0 rad/s. As the disk radiates infrared light, its temperature falls to 20.0°C. No external torque acts on the disk.
