A metal bar is hanging from a hook in the ceiling when it is suddenly struck by a ball that is moving horizontally (see figure). The ball is covered with glue, so it sticks to the bar. During this collision
 
  A) the angular momentum of the system (ball and bar) is conserved about the hook because only gravity is acting on the system.
  B) the angular momentum of the system (ball and bar) is not conserved because the hook exerts a force on the bar.
  C) the angular momentum of the system (ball and bar) is conserved about the hook because neither the hook nor gravity exerts any torque on this system about the hook.
  D) both the angular momentum of the system (ball and bar) and its kinetic energy are conserved.
  E) both the linear momentum and the angular momentum of the system (ball and bar) are conserved.

Question 2

If the torque on an object adds up to zero
 
  A) the forces on it also add up to zero.
  B) the object is at rest.
  C) the object cannot be turning.
  D) the object could be accelerating linearly but it could not be turning.
  E) the object could be both turning and accelerating linearly.
