$A$ particle of mass $2\, kg$ located at the position $(\hat i + \hat j)$ $m$ has a velocity $2( + \hat i - \hat j + \hat k)m/s$. Its angular momentum about $z$ -axis in $kg-m^2/s$ is

A particle of mass $M=0.2 kg$ is initially at rest in the $x y$-plane at a point $( x =-l, y =-h)$, where $l=10 m$ and $h=1 m$. The particle is accelerated at time $t =0$ with a constant acceleration $a =10 m / s ^2$ along the positive $x$-direction. Its angular momentum and torque with respect to the origin, in SI units, are represented by $\vec{L}$ and $\vec{\tau}$, respectively. $\hat{i}, \hat{j}$ and $\hat{k}$ are unit vectors along the positive $x , y$ and $z$-directions, respectively. If $\hat{k}=\hat{i} \times \hat{j}$ then which of the following statement($s$) is(are) correct?

$(A)$ The particle arrives at the point $(x=l, y=-h)$ at time $t =2 s$.

$(B)$ $\vec{\tau}=2 \hat{ k }$ when the particle passes through the point $(x=l, y=-h)$

$(C)$ $\overrightarrow{ L }=4 \hat{ k }$ when the particle passes through the point $(x=l, y=-h)$

$(D)$ $\vec{\tau}=\hat{ k }$ when the particle passes through the point $(x=0, y=-h)$

Define angular momentum.

A thin uniform rod, pivoted at $O$, is rotating in the horizontal plane with constant angular speed $\omega$, as shown in the figure. At time, $t =0$, a small insect starts from $O$ and moves with constant speed $v$ with respect to the rod towards the other end. It reaches the end of the rod at $t = T$ and stops. The angular speed of the system remains $\omega$ throughout. The magnitude of the torque $(|\vec{\tau}|)$ on the system about $O$, as a function of time is best represented by which plot?

The position vectors of radius are $2\hat i + \hat j + \hat k$ and $2\hat i - 3\hat j + \hat k$ while those of linear momentum are $2\hat i + 3\hat j - \hat k.$ Then the angular momentum is
