Question

Angular momentum is ______.

पर्याय

• a scalar

• a polar vector

• an axial vector

• None of these

Answer 1

Angular momentum is an axial vector.

Explanation:

Angular momentum \[\vec L\] = \[\vec r\] × \[\vec p\]​ is defined as a cross product, and its direction lies along the axis of rotation, making it an axial (pseudo) vector, not a polar vector.
