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.

Due to global warming, if the ice in the polar region melts and some of this water flows to the equatorial region, then

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves with a velocity $v_0$ in a circle of radius $R_0$ on a smooth horizontal plane. The mass is tied to a string passing through a hole in the smooth plane as shown in the figure. The tension in the string is gradually increased,and finally,the mass $m$ moves in a circle of radius $\frac{R_0}{2}$. What is the ratio of the final kinetic energy to the initial kinetic energy?

$A$ horizontal disc rotating freely about a vertical axis through its centre makes $90$ revolutions per minute. $A$ small piece of wax of mass $m$ falls vertically on the disc and sticks to it at a distance $r$ from the axis. If the number of revolutions per minute reduces to $60$,then the moment of inertia of the disc is .........

$A$ disc with moment of inertia $I_1$ is rotating with an angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane. Another disc with moment of inertia $I_2$ is placed on it,rotating about the same axis. What will be the combined angular velocity of both discs?

An equilateral triangle $ABC$ formed from a uniform wire has two small identical beads initially located at $A$. The triangle is set rotating about the vertical axis $AO$. Then the beads are released from rest simultaneously and allowed to slide down,one along $AB$ and the other along $AC$ as shown. Neglecting frictional effects,the quantities that are conserved as the beads slide down,are
