Step 1
Step 1: The torque acting on a particle is given by the equation \( \tau = I \alpha \), where \( \tau \) is the torque, \( I \) is the moment of inertia, and \( \alpha \) is the angular acceleration. Show more…

I know that angular acceleration causes torque and acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time, but for some reason I don't understand the question. An object has angular velocity and also has angular acceleration. Does any torque act on the object? What happens to the angular velocity when net torque is zero?

A gymnast spinning on one leg with his arms out stretched, suddenly lowers his arms. Then his (a) angular velocity decreases. (b) angular momentum increases. (c) the moment of inertia decreases. (d) angular velocity remains constant.
