The moments of inertia of two rotating b...

The moments of inertia of two rotating bodies A and B are `I_(A)` and `I_(B). (I_(A) gt I_(B))` and their angular momenta are equal. Which one has greater `K.E.` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to compare the kinetic energies of two rotating bodies A and B, given their moments of inertia and equal angular momentum. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between angular momentum and moment of inertia The angular momentum \( L \) of a rotating body is given by the formula: \[ L = I \omega \] where \( I \) is the moment of inertia and \( \omega \) is the angular velocity. ...
