Two Objects of Mass M₁ = 2m and M₂ =

Two objects of mass m₁ = 2m and m₂ = m move around a rotation axis A in parallel circles of radii r₁ = r and r₂ = 2r with equal tangential speeds.As they rotate,forces of equal magnitude are applied opposite to their velocities to stop them.Which statement is correct?

A) m₂ will stop first because it has the larger initial angular velocity.
B) m₁ will stop first because it has the smaller radius.
C) m₂ will stop first because the torque on it is greater.
D) m₁ will stop first because it has the smaller moment of inertia.
E) Both objects will stop at the same time because the angular accelerations are equal.
