JEE Main Physics question

**Statement 1:** The speed of a whirlwind in a tornado is alarmingly high.

**Statement 2:** If no external torque acts on a body, its angular velocity remains conserved.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is FalseCorrect
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is True

Answer: (C)

Solution

Tornado wind speeds are indeed alarmingly high — Statement 1 is True. In the absence of external torque, it is **angular momentum** that is conserved, not angular velocity; as air is drawn
