Is angular momentum a vector or a scalar? If it is a vector give its direction |
|
Answer» Solution :Angular momentum is a vector. Angular momentum `barL=m(barxxbarv)` The direction of angular momentum is perpendicular to the PLANE CONTAINING`barr` and `barv` i.e., if `barr` and `barv` are in X-y plane then angular momentum is along Z-axis. Its direction is given by RIGHT HAND screw rule. |
