MCQ
A particle moves in a circular path with decreasing speed. Choose the correct statement.
  • A
    Angular momentum remains constant
  • B
    Acceleration ($\vec a$) is towards the center
  • C
    Particle moves in a spiral path with decreasing radius
  • The direction of angular momentum remains constant

Answer

Correct option: D.
The direction of angular momentum remains constant
d
(d) Angular momentum is a axial vector. It is directed always in a fix direction (perpendicular to the plane of rotation either outward or inward), if the sense of rotation remain same.
