Q9 / 122 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Rotational Motion

When a mass is rotated in a plane about $a$ fixed point, its angular momentum is directed along the-

A
radius
B
tangent to orbit
Correct answer
C
axis of rotation
D
incline at an angle of $45 °$ to plane of rotation

Solution

Angular momentum is directed along the axis of rotation.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
