Assertion: If linear momentum of a particle is constant, then its angular momentum about any point will also remain constant.
Reason: Linear momentum remains constant if `F_(n et)=0` and angular momentum remains constant if `tau_(n et)=0`

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If assertion is true, but the reaction is false.

D

If assertion is false but the reason is true.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we will analyze the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states: "If linear momentum of a particle is constant, then its angular momentum about any point will also remain constant." - **Linear Momentum (p)**: Defined as \( p = mv \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity. - **Angular Momentum (L)**: Defined as \( L = r \times p \), where \( r \) is the position vector from the point about which we are calculating angular momentum to the particle. ...
