The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that if a particle is moving in a straight line with uniform velocity, its angular momentum is always zero. - Angular momentum (L) is defined as \( L = R \times P \), where \( R \) is the position vector from the point about which we are calculating the angular momentum to the particle, and \( P \) is the linear momentum of the particle. 2. **Analyzing Angular Momentum**: - The linear momentum \( P \) of the particle is given by \( P = mv \) (where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity). - The angular momentum can be expressed as \( L = R \times mv \). - The value of \( L \) depends on the perpendicular distance from the line of motion of the particle to the point about which we are calculating the angular momentum. 3. **Determining When Angular Momentum is Zero**: - Angular momentum will be zero if the point about which we are calculating it lies on the line of motion of the particle. In this case, the perpendicular distance \( R_{\perpendicular} \) becomes zero, leading to \( L = mv \cdot 0 = 0 \). - However, if the point is not on the line of motion, the angular momentum will not be zero as there will be a non-zero perpendicular distance. 4. **Conclusion about the Assertion**: - The assertion is false because it claims that angular momentum is always zero, which is not true. It depends on the reference point chosen. 5. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that momentum is zero when a particle moves with uniform velocity. - This statement is incorrect. A particle moving with uniform velocity has non-zero momentum, given by \( P = mv \) (where \( v \) is not zero). 6. **Conclusion about the Reason**: - The reason is also false because it incorrectly states that momentum is zero for a particle moving with uniform velocity. ### Final Conclusion: Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both the assertion and the reason are false.
