The potential energy of a particle of mass m at a distance r from a fixed point O is given by Vr=kr2/2, where k is a positive constant of appropriate dimensions. This particle is moving in a circular orbit of radius R about the point O. If v is the speed of the particle and L is the magnitude of its angular momentum about O, which of the following statements is (are) true?

  1. A v=k2mR
  2. B v=kmR
  3. C L=mkR2
  4. D L=mk2R2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) L=mkR2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


V=kr22
L=mvR
=m k m R.R
= mk R 2
