Can an object moving in a straight line have angular momentum?

Two bodies rotate with kinetic energies $E_1$ and $E_2$. Their moments of inertia about their axes of rotation are $I_1$ and $I_2$. If $I_1 = \frac{I_2}{3}$ and $E_1 = 27 E_2$,then the ratio of their angular momenta $L_1$ to $L_2$ is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves along a straight line $AB$ in the $XY$ plane. Let $L_A$ and $L_B$ be the angular momentum of the particle about the origin $O$ when it is at points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Then:

$A$ fan of moment of inertia $0.6\,kg \cdot m^2$ is turned up to a working speed of $0.5$ revolutions per second. The angular momentum of the fan is:

View Solution

The moment of inertia of a uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to its length is given by $\frac{ML^2}{12}$. Now,consider one such rod pivoted at its centre,free to rotate in a vertical plane. The rod is at rest in the vertical position. $A$ bullet of mass $M$ moving horizontally at a speed $v$ strikes and embeds itself in one end of the rod. The angular velocity of the rod just after the collision will be
