In the $$List-I$$ below, four different paths of a particle are given as functions of time. In these functions, α and β are positive constants of appropriate dimensions and α ≠β. In each case, the force acting on the particle is either zero or conservative. In $$List-II$$, five physical quantities of the particle are mentioned: p→ is the linear momentum, L→ is the angular momentum about the origin, K is the kinetic energy, U is the potential energy and E is the total energy. Match each path in $$List-I$$ with those quantities in $$List-II$$, which are conserved for that path.

Question

In the $$List-I$$ below, four different paths of a particle are given as functions of time. In these functions, α and β are positive constants of appropriate dimensions and  α ≠β. In each case, the force acting  on the particle  is either zero or conservative. In $$List-II$$, five physical quantities  of the particle  are mentioned:   p→ is the linear momentum,  L→ is the  angular momentum about the origin, K is the kinetic energy, U is the potential energy and E is the total energy. Match each path in $$List-I$$ with those quantities in $$List-II$$, which are conserved for that path.
