AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a body in translatory motion can have angular momentum, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Translatory Motion**: This is the motion of a body along a straight path. - **Angular Momentum (L)**: Angular momentum is defined as the cross product of the position vector (r) and the linear momentum (p) of the body. Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ L = r \times p \] ...
