A particle moves in a circular path with decreasing speed. What happens to its angular momentum ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From `vecL = vecr xx vecp = vecr xx m vec v`
When speed `vec v` decreases, magnitude of angular momentum decrease, but the direction of angular momentum reamains the same.
