Question
For a rigid object rotating about a fixed axis, the angular momentum L can be expressed in terms of its moment of inertia I and angular velocity ω as
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
For a rigid object rotating about a fixed axis, the angular momentum is given by the product of its moment of inertia and its angular velocity: L = Iω. This is analogous to linear momentum p = mv.
Hint
This relationship is the rotational analog of p = mv, where I takes the place of mass and ω takes the place of velocity.
