Law of conservation of angular momentum is applicable to
Correct answer: D. all of these
- A. ice skating
- B. gymnastics
- C. diving
- D. all of these
Explanation
The law of conservation of angular momentum is applicable to all the scenarios mentioned: ice skating, gymnastics, and diving. This law states that the total angular momentum of a system remains constant if no external torque acts on the system.

About Angular and Linear Quantities
Rotational motion relates angular displacement, angular velocity and angular acceleration to linear displacement, tangential velocity and tangential acceleration through the radius. Questions use radians, v equals r omega and tangential acceleration, while distinguishing tangential velocity from centripetal acceleration and angular quantities from their linear counterparts.
