In this question, a statement of assertion
is followed by a statement of reason
. Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: A particle moving on a straight line with a uniform velocity, its angular momentum is always zero.
Reason: The momentum is constant when particle moves with a uniform velocity.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
: As a particle is moving with uniform velocity, therefore its linear momentum (
) is
constant.
But about a point off the line of motion, the moment of momentum i.e. angular momentum can be non-zero.
Reason is false because the momentum is a constant and not zero.
