6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium

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 $L_A$ when it is at $A$ and $L_B$ when it is at $B,$ then

A

$L_A=L_B$

B

the relationship between $L_A$ and $L_B$ depends upon the slope of the line $AB$

C

$L_A < L_B$

D

$L_A>L_B$

(AIPMT-2007)

Solution

Momentum of momentum is angular momentum. $OP$ is the same whether the mass is at $A$ or $B$.

$\therefore \,{L_A} = {L_B}.$
