A circular disc A and a ring B have same mass and same radius. If they are rotated with the same angular speed about their own axis, then

A

A has less moment to inetia than B

B

A has less rotational kinetic energy than B

C

A and B have the same angular momentum

D

A has greater angular momentum than B

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Moment of inertia of disc
`I_("ring")=(MR^(2))/(2)`
Moment of inertia of ring `I_("ring")=MR^(2)`
Therefore, A has less moment of inertia than B because of which A has less rotational kinetic energy than B.
