(c) Infinite

(d) Finite

I had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

I want to ask this question from Impulse Momentum Equation in chapter Fluid Dynamics of Fluid Mechanics

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) Vector

To explain: Angular momentum is a vector quantity as it has both size and direction. Size of the momentum is equal to the mass of the object into the size of the object’s velocity. The direction of objects velocity is the same as the direction of the momentum.
