A particle moves in a circular path with...

A particle moves in a circular path with decreasing speed . Choose the correct statement.

A

Angular momentum remains constant

B

Acceleration `(bara)` is towards the centre

C

Particle moves in a spiral path with decreasing radius

D

The direction of angular momentum remains constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Magnitude of angular momentum will decrease as L=mvr and v is decreasing
`Rightarrow`direction of acceleration will not be towards centre due tangential retardation.
