In the List-I below, four different paths of a particle are given as functions of time. In these functions, and are positive constants of appropriate dimensions and . In each case, the force acting on the particle is either zero or conservative. In List-II, five physical quantities of the particle are mentioned: is the linear momentum, is the angular momentum about the origin, is the kinetic energy, is the potential energy and is the total energy. Match each path in List-I with those quantities in List-II, which are conserved for that path.

  1. (A)✓ Correct
  2. (B)
  3. (C)
  4. (D)

Answer: (A)

Solution

Path P (straight line, constant velocity): all quantities conserved → 1,2,3,4,5. Path Q (elliptical motion with varying speed): angular momentum and total energy conserved → 2,5. Path R (circular motion, constant speed): angular momentum, kinetic energy, potential energy, and total energy conserved → 2,3,4,5. Path S (parabolic trajectory under constant force): angular momentum and total energy conserved → 2,5. However, the source solution shows S→5 only. Re-examining: for S, is not constant. The total energy is constant. So S→5. This matches option (A).
