A solid sphere is rotating freely about its
symmetry axis in free space. The radius of
the sphere is increased keeping its mass same.
Which of the following physical quantities
would remain constant for the sphere?
- AAngular velocity
- BMoment of inertia
- CRotational kinetic energy
- DAngular momentum
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
As sphere is in free space and no external torque is acting over it so its angular momentum will remain constant.
