A ball of mass 1 kg is projected with a velocity of 20√2m/s from the origin of an x y co-ordinate axis system at an angle 45 degree with x-axis . What will be the angular momentum of the ball about the point of projection after 2 seconds of projection ?

initial vertical and horizontal velocities are 20 m/s and 20 m/s

after 2 sec. vertical and horizontal velocities are 0 m/s and 20 m/s

and y and x displacements are 20 m and 40 m

so about point of projection angular momentum after 2 sec.

= mvxy - mvyx = 1*20*20 - 1*0*40 = 400
