To show that the vector angular momentum of the system of two particles is the same about any point taken as the origin, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the system We have two particles, each of mass \( m \) and speed \( v \), moving in opposite directions along parallel lines separated by a distance \( d \). ### Step 2: Choose an arbitrary point as the origin Let’s denote an arbitrary point \( O \) as the origin from which we will calculate the angular momentum of the system. ...
