If a particle of mass $m$ is moving with constant velocity $v$ parallel to the $X$-axis in the $x-y$ plane as shown in the figure,its angular momentum with respect to the origin at any time $t$ will be:

  • A
    $mvb\,\hat{k}$
  • B
    $-mvb\,\hat{k}$
  • C
    $mvb\,\hat{i}$
  • D
    $mv\,\hat{i}$

When does the magnitude of angular momentum become zero?

Two rigid bodies $A$ and $B$ rotate with rotational kinetic energies $E_A$ and $E_B$ respectively. The moments of inertia of $A$ and $B$ about the axis of rotation are $I_A$ and $I_B$ respectively. If $I_A = I_B/4$ and $E_A = 100 E_B$,the ratio of angular momentum $(L_A)$ of $A$ to the angular momentum $(L_B)$ of $B$ is

The position vector of a particle is $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k})$ and its momentum is $\vec{p} = (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 2\hat{k})$. The angular momentum of this particle is perpendicular to:

$A$ small mass $m$ is attached to a massless string whose other end is fixed at $P$ as shown in the figure. The mass is undergoing circular motion in the $x-y$ plane with centre at $O$ and constant angular speed $\omega$. If the angular momentum of the system,calculated about $O$ and $P$ are denoted by $\vec{L}_O$ and $\vec{L}_P$ respectively,then

Why is the angular momentum perpendicular to the axis,denoted as ${L_ \bot }$,zero in a rotational motion about a fixed axis?
