Angular momentum
Question

A particle of mass 1 kg is moving along the line y = x + 2 (here x and y are in m) with speed 2 m/s. The magnitude of angular momentum of the particle about origin is:

Moderate
Solution

Angular momentum of particle about origin O is:

L = mvr1 = (1)(2)(2 cos 450) = 42 = 22 kgm2s-1
