A solid sphere is rotating in free space. If the radius of the sphere is increased keeping mass same which one of the following wil not be affected?

A

Moment of inertia

B

Angular momentum

C

Angular velocity

D

Rotational kinetic energy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) In free space, there will be no torque acting on the sphere. Therefore the angular momentum of the sphere will not be affected.
