Question 209 of 280

Angular momentum of a single particle moving with constant speed along circular path :

Aremains same in magnitude but changes in the directionBremains same in magnitude and directionCis zeroDchanges in magnitude but remains same in the direction

Show answer and solution▾

Answer: (B) remains same in magnitude and direction

The angular momentum is defined as the vector product of linear momentum and perpendicular distance, $\vec{L}=\vec{r}\times \vec{p}=\vec{r}\times m\vec{v}$, And direction will be upward & remain constant.
