Question:

A body is projected at an angle $ \alpha $ from a point O. Its angular momentum will be zero at:

Updated On: Jun 7, 2022
  • the point where it touches ground
  • another point on trajectory
  • starting point
  • at the maximum height

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The relation for angular momentum is $ ={{r}_{p}}\sin \alpha . $ The required conditions for angular momentum to be zero, is only $ r $ to be zero because momentum p can never be zero and also projected angle a can never be zero while the body is in projectile path.

Concepts Used:

Rotational Motion

Rotational motion can be defined as the motion of an object around a circular path, in a fixed orbit.

Rotational Motion Examples:

The wheel or rotor of a motor, which appears in rotation motion problems, is a common example of the rotational motion of a rigid body.

Other examples:

  • Moving by Bus
  • Sailing of Boat
  • Dog walking
  • A person shaking the plant.
  • A stone falls straight at the surface of the earth.
  • Movement of a coin over a carrom board 

Types of Motion involving Rotation:

  1. Rotation about a fixed axis (Pure rotation)
  2. Rotation about an axis of rotation (Combined translational and rotational motion)
  3. Rotation about an axis in the rotation (rotating axis)
