Two bodies $A$ and $B$ are rotating freely with moments of inertia $I_A$ and $I_B$ respectively. Given $I_A > I_B$ and their angular momenta are equal. If $K_A$ and $K_B$ are their rotational kinetic energies,then:

  • A
    $K_A = K_B$
  • B
    $K_A > K_B$
  • C
    $K_A < K_B$
  • D
    $K_A = 2K_B$
