Angular momentum of a particle rotating with a central force is constant due to:

  1. A
    Constant Force
  2. B
    Constant linear momentum
  3. C
    Zero Torque
  4. D
    Constant Torque

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A central force is a force that is always directed towards or away from a fixed point (the center). Mathematically, .The torque about the center is:

Since and are in the same direction, their cross product is zero.

By the relation , if torque is zero, the angular momentum is constant.
