The angular momentum of a system of particles is conserved:

  • A
    If no external force acts on the system.
  • B
    If no external torque acts on the system.
  • C
    If no external impulse acts on the system.
  • D
    If the axis of rotation remains the same.

$Assertion$ : For a system of particles under a central force field,the total angular momentum is conserved.
$Reason$ : The torque acting on such a system is zero.

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. Two objects,each of mass $m$,are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity:

$A$ child with mass $m$ is standing at the edge of a disc with moment of inertia $I$,radius $R$,and initial angular velocity $\omega$. See the figure given below. The child jumps off the edge of the disc with tangential velocity $v$ with respect to the ground. The new angular velocity of the disc is

$A$ solid cylinder of mass $2 \ kg$ and radius $0.2 \ m$ is rotating with an angular velocity of $3 \ rad/s$. $A$ particle of mass $0.5 \ kg$ moving with a velocity of $5 \ m/s$ strikes its periphery tangentially and sticks to it.
