The angular momentum about any point of a single particle moving with constant velocity:
1. | increases continuously. |
2. | decreases continuously. |
3. | first increases then decrease. |
4. | remains constant throughout the motion. |
Moment of a couple:
1. | depends on the point about which you take the moments |
2. | depends on the reference frame |
3. | does not depend on the point about which you take the moments |
4. | does not depend on the direction of the forces |
