If a rigid body is spinning freely with no external torques, which of the following quantities must remain constant?
What physical quantity measures an object’s resistance to changes in its rotational motion?
How would increasing only radial distances between particles within a rotating rigid body affect its moment of inertia?
What happens to the angular momentum of a system if external torques are applied for a certain time interval but the moment of inertia of the system remains constant?
If two children sitting on opposite edges of a playground merry-go-round with the same radial distance from the center of mass and the merry-go-round is not turning initially, what will happen if one child suddenly jumps off?
