If the angular momentum of any rotating body increases by 200%, then the increase in its kinetic energy:
A
400%
B
800%
C
200%
D
100%.
Answer
800%
Explanation
Solution
E=2IL2 ∴ E∝L2 ⇒ E1E2=(L1L2)2
E1E2=[L1L1+200% of L1] =[L1L1+2L1]2=(3)2
⇒ E2=9E1
Increment in kinetic energy
ΔE=E2−E1=9E1−E1
ΔE=8E1 ∴ E1ΔE=8 or percentage increase
= 800%
