JEE Main2012PhysicsRotational MotionActual
This question has Statement 1 and Statement 2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement 1: When moment of inertia I of a body rotating about an axis with angular speed increases, its angular momentum L is unchanged but the kinetic energy K increases if there is no torque applied on it. Statement 2: L=I , kinetic energy of rotation = 1 2 I ^2
Options
- AStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
- BStatement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.
- CStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is correct explanation of the Statement 1.
- DStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
Correct answer
B. Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.
Step-by-step solution
As L=I so L increases with increase in . Kinetic energy _ (rotational) depends on an angular velocity ' ' and moment of inertia of the body I . i.e., K E ( . rotational = 1 2 I ^2
