When a body is projected at an angle with the horizontal in the uniform gravitational field of the earth, the angular momentum of the body about the point of projection, as it proceeds along its path

Options

A. remains constant
B. increases
C. decreases
D. initially decreases and after its highest point increases

Answer

B

Explanation

Torque, `tau_(0)=mg xx r_(bot)` As, `r_(bot)` is continuously increasing or torque is continuously increasing on the particle. Hence, angular momentum is continuously increasing
