A particle of mass
moves in the XY-plane with a velocity v along the straight line AB If the angular momentum of the particle with respect to origin
is
when it is at
and
when it is at
, then

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
We know that,


Therefore, the magnitude of L is
Where,
is the distance of closed approach of the particle to the origin. As
is same for both the positions of the particle, hence,
.
