A particle of mass 
moves in the 
plane with a velocity 
along the straight line 
. If the angular momentum of the particle with respect to origin 
is 
, when it is at 
and 
, when it is at 
. Then
A
B
C
The relationship between 
and 
depends upon the slope of the line 
and depends upon the slope of the line D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
From the definition of angular momentum,
Therefore, the magnitude of 
is
where 
is the distance of closest approach of the particle to the origin. As 
is same for both the particles, hence 
.
