A body of mass \(m\) is thrown with velocity u from the origin of a co-ordinate axes at an angle \(\theta\) with the horizon. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the particle about the origin at time \(\mathrm{t}\) when it is at the maximum height of the trajectory is proportional to

  1. A \(\mathrm{u}\)
  2. B \(u^2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{u}^3\)
  4. D independent of \(u\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{u}^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{L}=m u \cos \theta h_{\max }=m u \cos \theta \frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g} \Rightarrow L=\frac{m u^3 \sin ^2 \theta \cos \theta}{2 g} \quad L \propto u^3\)
