Angular Momentum & its Conservation

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

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. L=mv×L = mv \times (perpendicular distance OC of line AB from O).
  2. A and B lie on the same line, so the perpendicular distance and mvmv are the same.
  3. So LA=LBL_A = L_B: answer (a).
