A particle moves along the x axis.In order to calculate the angular momentum of the particle, you need to know:
A)the size of the particle
B)the rotational inertia of the particle
C)the point about which the angular momentum is to be calculated
D)the kinetic energy of the particle
E)the acceleration of the particle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angular momentum is calculated about a point or axis, so the point about which the angular momentum is to be calculated needs to be known. The other options (A, B, D, and E) are irrelevant for calculating angular momentum.
