Practice question
Question
What happens to the rotational kinetic energy if the angular velocity of a body is halved?
Explanation
Rotational kinetic energy K = 12Iω2 depends on ω2. Halving ω reduces ω2 to 14, so K becomes one-fourth its original value. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to It becomes one-fourth. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
