6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium

A particle moves in a circular path with decreasing speed. Choose the correct statement.

AAngular momentum remains constant
BAcceleration ($\vec a$) is towards the center
CParticle moves in a spiral path with decreasing radius
DThe direction of angular momentum remains constant
(IIT-2005)

Solution

(d) Angular momentum is a axial vector. It is directed always in a fix direction (perpendicular to the plane of rotation either outward or inward), if the sense of rotation remain same.
