An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

The angular speed of rod after opening the hinge will remain $ω_{0}$

The angular speed of rod after opening the hinge will be less than $ω_{0}$

In the process of opening the hinge the kinetic energy of rod will remain conserved.

Angular momentum of rod will remain conserved about center of mass of rod in the process of opening the hinge

answer is A, C, D.

Detailed Solution

As no external torque is present, there is no angular acceleration and thus angular velocity remains constant. Also as the angular velocity is constant the kinetic energy too remains conserved. Also by definition, for no external torque the angular momentum about the center of mass remains conserved.
