Angular momentum:
- Angular momentum is the property of any rotating object given by moment of inertia times angular velocity.
- It is a vector quantity.
- Its SI unit is kg-m2/sec.
- If I and ω are the moment of inertia and the angular velocity respectively, then the angular momentum is given as,
⇒ L = Iω
⇒ L = rP
Where r = radius of rotation and P = linear momentum
CALCULATION:
Given
- Angular momentum is the property of any rotating object given by moment of inertia times angular velocity.
- If I and ω are the moment of inertia and the angular velocity respectively, then the angular momentum is given as,
⇒ L = Iω -----(1)
- By equation 1 the angular momentum of the object A is given as,
⇒ LA = IAωA -----(2)
- By equation 1 the angular momentum of the object B is given as,
⇒ LB = IBωB -----(3)
By equation 2 and equation 3,
- Hence, option 1 is correct.
