A quantitative Cartesian coordinate graph showing net torque on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The horizontal axis is labeled t (s) with numeric tick marks at integer intervals from 0 to 6. The vertical axis is labeled \tau_{\text{net}} (N\cdot m) with numeric tick marks at -4, -2, 0, 2, and 4. A regular light-gray grid of square cells aligns with every 1 unit on the horizontal axis and every 2 units on the vertical axis. A single solid dark line begins at the origin (0, 0), extends linearly upward to a peak at (2, 4), descends linearly through the horizontal axis at (4, 0) down to a minimum at (5, -4), and finally ascends linearly to terminate at (6, 0). No other labels, lines, text, or curves appear.
Net torque versus time for the space probe.
A space probe with a fixed rotational inertia about its central axis is rotating in deep space. Thrusters exert a variable net torque \(\tau_{\text{net}}\) on the probe about this axis over a \(6\text{ s}\) interval, as shown in the graph. Which of the following statements correctly describes the angular momentum of the probe during this interval?
