Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( - 80\hat k\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Angular momentum \(L = m\) \((v \times r)\)

\(\begin{array}{l}
 = 2kg\,\left( {\frac{{dr}}{{dt}} \times r} \right) = 2\,kg\left( {4t\,j \times 5i - 2{t^2}\hat j} \right)\\
 = 2\,kg\,\left( { - 20\,t\,\hat k} \right) = 2\,kg \times  - 20 \times 2\,{m^{ - 2}}{s^{ - 1}}\hat k\\
 =  - 80\,\hat k
\end{array}\)
