B)the direction of torque acting on an object is parallel to the direction of angular momentum of the body.
C)there is no torque acting on a body.
D)the direction of torque acting on an object has a component perpendicular to the direction of angular momentum of the body.
E)the direction of torque acting on an object is opposite to the direction of angular momentum of the body.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Precession occurs when the torque applied to a rotating body has a component perpendicular to its angular momentum, causing the axis of rotation to change direction.
