Practice question
Question
A 5 kg particle moves with velocity v = 4 i m/s at r = -3 j m . What is the magnitude of its angular momentum about the origin?
Explanation
Given:
A 5 kg particle moves with velocity v = 4 i m/s at r = -3 j m . What is the magnitude of its angular momentum about the origin?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
L = r × p = beginvmatrix i & j & k 0 & -3 & 0 4 & 0 & 0 endvmatrix = k (0 × 0 - (-3) × 4) = 12 k kg m²/s.
This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon.
Substitution & Calculation:
Magnitude = 12 kg m²/s .
Result:
The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
