MCQ
A particle is moving along a straight line with increasing speed. Its angular momentum about a fixed point on this line
  • A
    Goes on increasing
  • B
    Goes on decreasing
  • C
    May be increasing or decreasing depending on direction of motion
  • Remains zero

Answer

Correct option: D.
Remains zero
d
$\mathrm{L}=0$ because angle between $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \& \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$ is always

zero (as point lies on the same line)
