Rotational Kinetic Energy, Work & Power

A particle performing uniform circular motion has angular momentum LL. If its angular frequency is doubled & its kinetic energy halved, then the new angular momentum is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. K=12Lω⇒L=2KωK = \frac{1}{2}L\omega \Rightarrow L = \frac{2K}{\omega}
  2. ω′=2ω\omega' = 2\omega, K′=K2K' = \frac{K}{2}: L′=2(K/2)2ω=L4L' = \frac{2(K/2)}{2\omega} = \frac{L}{4}
  3. So the answer is (a) L4\frac{L}{4}.
