Which of the following is constant when the torque equals zero 1. Linear Momentum 2. Angular Momentum 3. Moment of inertia 4. Both A and B
Added by Tonya G.
Step 1
Torque (\(\tau\)) is the rate of change of angular momentum (\(L\)), i.e., \(\tau = \frac{dL}{dt}\). When torque is zero, \(\frac{dL}{dt} = 0\), meaning angular momentum is constant. Show more…

When a torque acting upon a system is zero. Which of the following will be constant? (a) Force (b) Linear momentum (c) Angular momentum (d) Linear impulse
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
Which of the following are required for the total momentum (both angular and linear) of a system to be conserved? 1. The sum of the external torques acting on the system must be zero. 2. The sum of the external forces acting on the system must be zero. 3. The total kinetic energy must remain constant. 4. There can be no external torques or forces acting on the system. 5. There can be no internal torques or forces acting on the system. 1 and 2 1, 2, and 4 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 1, 2, 3, and 4 1, 2, and 3
