A particle moves along a circular path with decreasing speed. Hence
Options
- Aits resultant acceleration is towards the centre.
- Bit moves in a spiral path with decreasing radius.
- Cthe direction of angular momentum remains constant.
- Dits angular momentum remains constant
Correct answer
C. the direction of angular momentum remains constant.
Step-by-step solution
The direction of angular moment remains constant as the angular momentum is a vector quantity, and its direction is perpendicular to the plane of motion. As the speed decreases, the linear momentum decreases, but the angular momentum remains constant due to the conservation of angular momentum.
