A particle of mass m moves in the XY plane with a velocity v along the straight line AB. If the angular momentum of the particle with respect to origin O is LA when it is at A and LB when it is at B, then


- ALA = LB
- Bthe relationship between LA and LB depends upon the slope of the line AB
- CLA < LB
- DLA > LB.
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
Angular momentum = Linear momentum ×
perpendicular distance between line of action of
liner momentum from origin
Let d be the perpendicular distance.
pA and pB be the linear momentum at A and B
Angular momentum LA = pA × d
LB = pB × d
So, linear momentum will be equal, i.e., LA = LB.here,
pA and pB are equal as have equal velocity.
LA = LB
