Question

Suppose, the same angular momentum is transferred to two rotating bodies of different moment of inertia , how will you compare the angular velocities of the two bodies as a result of angular momentum transfer.

Answer 1

Answer:

As per the law of conservation of angular momentum, the angular velocity will be higher for the body with a lower moment of inertia and vice versa.

Explanation:

Angular momentum L of a body is given by:

$L=I\times \omega$

Now when the same angular momentum is transferred to two different bodies with different moment of inertia, the body with a higher moment of inertia will have lower angular velocity and vice versa.
