Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Angular momentum

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{r}=x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}+z\hat{k}\)
\(\vec{v}=\frac{d\vec{r}}{dt}=v_{x}\hat{i}+v_{y}\hat{j}+v_{z}\hat{k}\)
\(\vec{p}=m\vec{v}\)
\(\overline{L}=m(\vec{r}\times\vec{v})\)
\(=(x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}+z\hat{k})\times m(v_{x}\hat{i}+v_{y}\hat{j}+v_{z}\hat{k})\)
When sign of \(\vec{r}\) changes, \(\overrightarrow{ L }\) remains same.
