Questions  

A particle moves on a straight line with a uniform velocity. The incorrect statement about its angular momentum

a
is always zero
b
is zero about a point on the straight line
c
is not zero about a point away from the straight line
d
about any given point remains constant.

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Angular momentum of the particle about point A, L = mv x r. If A lies on the line of motion r = 0 then only L = 0. so option (1) is wrong.
