A rotating body has angular momentum 'L'. If its frequency of rotation is halved and rotational kinetic energy is doubled, its angular momentum becomes

  1. A \(2 \mathrm{~L}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\text { L }}{4}\)
  3. C \(4 \mathrm{~L}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 \mathrm{~L}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Kinetic energy \(k=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}\)
\(\therefore \frac{\mathrm{k}_{2}}{\mathrm{k}_{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{2} \mathrm{w}_{2}^{2}}{\mathrm{I}_{1} \omega_{1}^{2}}\) \(\therefore 2=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{2}}{\mathrm{I}_{1}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{l}}{2}\right)^{2} \quad \therefore \frac{\mathrm{I}_{2}}{\mathrm{I}_{1}}=8\)
Angular momentum \(\quad \mathrm{L}=\mathrm{I} \omega\) \(\frac{\mathrm{L}_{2}}{\mathrm{~L}_{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{2} \omega_{2}}{\mathrm{I}_{1} \omega_{1}}=8 \times \frac{1}{2}=4\) \(\therefore \mathrm{L}_{2}=4 \mathrm{~L}_{1}=4 \mathrm{~L} \quad\)
