A particle performing uniform circular motion has angular momentumL. If its angular frequency is doubled and its kinetic energy halved, then the new angular momentum will be

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Angular momentum L = I ω

Rotational kinetic energy K = 1 2 I ω 2

∴ L K = I ω × 2 I ω 2 = 2 ω ⇒ L = 2 K ω

or L 1 L 2 = K 1 K 2 × ω 2 ω 1 = 2 × 2 = 4

∴ L 2 = L 1 4 = L 4 .
