(section 11-6; 11-7 in3rd edition) A windmill with moment of inertia I is notrotating until a passing eagle grabs on to the top of it with hertalons as she flies by.   The \"system\" ofinterest is the eagle plus the blades of the windmill.Check all the statements that are true. All angular momentum is tobe calculated relative to the center (pivot) of the windmill.

Group of answer choices

There is no angular momentum until the bird and wheel startspinning.

Linear momentum has been converted to angular momentum.

Linear momentum has been absorbed by the Earth.

There is more kinetic energy after the grab than before.

There is less kinetic energy after the grab than before.

There is more angular momentum after the grab than before.

There is less angular momentum after the grab than before.
