True or False? When torque is applied to a body, it results in linear momentum change.
Added by Carlos R.
Step 1
- Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. It is the rotational equivalent of linear force. - Linear momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object and is a measure of the object's motion in a straight line. Show more…

Which of the following is NOT true? A If the sum of all forces acting on a body is equal to zero, then it is both in linear and rotational equilibrium. B If the line of action of a force passes through the pivot point, the body will have no angular acceleration. C A net torque will cause a body to increase its angular velocity but not its moment of inertia. D The torque acting on a body is equal to the applied force times the perpendicular distance of the force from the pivot point.
