MHT CET · Physics · Rotational Motion

A body is rotating about its own axis. Its rotational kinetic energy is ' \(x\) ' and its angular momentum is ' y '. Hence its moment of inertia about its own axis is

  1. A \(\frac{x^2}{2 y}\)
  2. B \(\frac{y^2}{2 x}\)
  3. C \(\frac{x}{2 y}\)
  4. D \(\frac{y}{2 x}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{y^2}{2 x}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( KE_{rot} = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \) and \( L = I \omega \) \( \omega = \frac{L}{I} \)
