A particle of mass m moves in the xy plane with a velocity v along the straight line AB. If the angular momention of the particle with respect to origin O is LA when it is at A and LB when it is at B, then ..........(a) LA = LB (b) LA < LB (c) LA > LB(d) The relationship between LA and LB depends uopn the slope of the line AB

Answer»

(a) LA = LB

Magnitude of L is, L = mvr sin ϕ = mvd 

d = r sin ϕ is the distance of closest approach of the particle so the origin, as ‘d’ is same for both particles. So, LA = LB
