particle is moving in an elliptical orbit as shown in figure. If \(\vec{p}, \vec{L}\) and \(\vec{r}\) denote the linear momentum, angular momentum and position vector of the particle (from focus \(\mathrm{O}\) ) respectively at a point \(\mathrm{A}\), then the direction of \(\vec{\alpha}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{L}}\) is along

  1. A + ve \(x\) axis
  2. B - ve \(x\) axis
