- Angular momentum
- Angular velocity
- Rotational kinetic energy
- Moment of inertia

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
$\tau_{ex} = 0 $
So, $\frac{dL}{dt} = 0 $
i.e. $L = $ constant
So angular momentum remains constant.
So, $\frac{dL}{dt} = 0 $
i.e. $L = $ constant
So angular momentum remains constant.
