if the angular momentum of a rigid body is constant, the sum of external torque is
Added by Mary M.
Step 1
Angular momentum is defined as the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity of a rigid body. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: L = Iω where L is the angular momentum, I is the moment of inertia, and ω is the angular velocity. Show more…

12.Angular momentum: A) is always conserved. B) is the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity. C) changes if an external torque acts upon the object. D) stays the same if an external torque acts up the object.

If the resulting external force acting on system is zero then of the system is constant and if the resultant external torque acting on a system is zero then $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots$ of the system is constant. (a) total energy, angular momentum (b) liner momentum, angular momentum (c) liner momentum, energy (d) angular and linear momentum
The angular momentum of a system remains constant when: A. the total kinetic energy is constant B. when no net external force acts on the system C. when the linear momentum and the energy are constant D. when no torque acts on the system E. all the time since it is a conserved quantity
