The figure shows three particles with the same mass m, all moving with the same constant speed v. Particle (1) moves in a circle of radius R about the point P, article (2) in a straight line whose closest approach to point P is the same as the circle’s radius R, and particle (3) in a straight line that passes through P. Which of these statements correctly describes the magnitudes of the particles’ angular momenta?
- a. L1 = L2 = L3 ≠ 0;
- b. L1 > 0, L2 = L3 = 0;
- c. L1 > L2 > L3 = 0;
- d. L2 = L1 ≠ 0, L3 = 0
