Exam-style question
Try this first
How does increasing the moment of inertia affect the angular momentum of a rotating object if the angular velocity remains constant?.
- A.Angular momentum decreases
- B.Angular momentum increases
- C.Angular momentum remains the same
- D.Angular momentum becomes zero
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Angular momentum increases
Explanation
Why this works
If the moment of inertia increases while the angular velocity remains constant, the angular momentum (L = I * ω) will increase. This is because angular momentum is directly proportional to the moment of inertia when angular velocity is constant.
