An object moving in a circle at a steady speed has
A)constant linear momentum.
B)constant angular momentum.
C)constant velocity.
D)constant acceleration.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector is constantly changing, causing a change in the direction of the linear momentum vector. However, the distance from the center of the circle remains constant, resulting in a constant angular momentum. Therefore, the correct choice is B, constant angular momentum. Options A, C, and D are incorrect.
