Projection Under uniform Acceleration
Question

A projectile is fired with velocity u making angle θ with the horizontal. What is the angular momentum of the projectile at the highest point about the starting point ? Given that mass of the projectile is m

Easy
Solution

Maximum height, h=u2sin2θ2g

Linear momentum at highest point =mucosθ

Angular momentum of the projectile at the highest point

= linear momentum × perpendicular distance 

=mucosθ×h=mucosθ×u2sin2θ/2g =mu3sin2θcosθ2g
