Rotational Kinetic Energy, Work & Power

Two rotating bodies A and B of masses m and 2m with moments of inertia IAI_A and IBI_B (IBI_B > IAI_A) have equal kinetic energy of rotation. If LA and LB be their angular momenta respectively, then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. L=2IKL = \sqrt{2IK}; equal KK gives L∝IL \propto \sqrt{I}
  2. IB>IA⇒LB>LAI_B > I_A \Rightarrow L_B > L_A
  3. So the answer is (c) LB>LAL_B > L_A.
