Angular Momentum & its Conservation

A particle of mass mm moves along line PC with velocity vv as shown. What is the angular momentum of the particle about P?

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. The particle moves along line PC, which passes through P.
  2. So r⃗\vec r (from P) is parallel to v⃗\vec v, giving L⃗=m r⃗×v⃗=0\vec L = m\,\vec r \times \vec v = 0.
  3. So the answer is (d) zero.
