No. Torque is required only for producing angular acceleration. A body rotates with constant angular velocity if no external torque acts on it.
No. Just as no force is required to keep a moving body moving in a straight lineat constant speed, no torque is required to keep a rotating body rotating at aconstant speed. External torque is present only if the body's rate of rotation ischanging.
The law of inertia for rotating systems in terms of angular momentum states that an object will maintain its angular momentum unless acted upon by an external torque. This is a rotational equivalent of Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
The angular momentum of the ice skater spinning with her arms out and not being acted upon by an external torque remains constant.
Yes, in order for a body to rotate, it must be subjected to a torque. Torque is the rotational equivalent of force, causing objects to rotate around an axis. Without a torque acting on the body, it would not be able to change its rotation.
The moment of inertia of an object does not depend on its angular velocity. Moment of inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion, based on its mass distribution around the axis of rotation. Angular velocity, on the other hand, describes how fast an object is rotating and is not a factor in determining the moment of inertia.

In orbital motion, the angular momentum of the system is constant if there is no external torque acting on the system. This is a result of the conservation of angular momentum, where the product of the rotating body's moment of inertia and angular velocity remains constant unless acted upon by an external torque.
The angular momentum of the ice skater spinning with her arms out and not being acted upon by an external torque remains constant.
Yes, Newton's First Law applies to rotating objects as well. An object in rotational motion will continue rotating at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an external torque (force). This is analogous to Newton's First Law for linear motion, which states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
Yes, in order for a body to rotate, it must be subjected to a torque. Torque is the rotational equivalent of force, causing objects to rotate around an axis. Without a torque acting on the body, it would not be able to change its rotation.

Angular velocity, on the other hand, describes how fast an object is rotating and is not a factor in determining the moment of inertia.
Angular momentum is conserved when there is no external torque acting on a system. For a planet, the net torque acting on it is negligible, so its angular momentum about its center will be conserved unless acted upon by an external force. This conservation principle is a consequence of the rotational symmetry of the system.
A torque will make it rotate - or change its rotation.
Receiving or subjected to an action
The product of an object's rotational inertia and its rotational velocity is called angular momentum. It is a conserved quantity in a closed system, meaning it remains constant unless acted upon by an external torque.
Unless acted on by an external force, yes.
