A smooth tube of certain mass is rotated in a gravity-free Space and released. The two balls shown in Fig move towards the ends of the tube. For the whole system, which of the following quantities is not conserved. A. Angular mometumB. linear momentumC. kinetic energyD. angular speed

Answer» Correct Answer - D
As `Sigmatau=0` angular momentum and linear moimentum remain conserved. As the two balls will move radially out `I` changes. In order to keep the agular momentum `L=Iomega` conserved, angular speed `omega` should change.
