QuestionThe graph shows the angular momentum LL of a rigid system as a function of time tt. Which of the following statements about the torque exerted on the system is supported by the graph?
A The torque decreases in magnitude and is in the same direction as the angular momentum.
B The torque decreases in magnitude and is in the opposite direction of the angular momentum. (C) The torque increases in magnitude and is in the same direction as the angular momentum.
D The torque increases in magnitude and is in the opposite direction of the angular momentum.

Studdy Solution
The graph shows that the angular momentum is decreasing over time, meaning the torque is in the opposite direction of the angular momentum.
Also, the rate at which angular momentum decreases slows down over time, meaning the magnitude of the torque decreases.
Therefore, the correct answer is **B**.
