Question

Angular momentum is:

• A. a scalar
• B. a polar vector
• C. an axial vector
• D. not a physical quantity

Answer 1

The correct option is C an axial vector

Angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement and is vector quantity (more precisely, an axial vector) which specifies the angular speed (rotational speed) of an object and the axis about which the object is rotating and axial vector is a quantity that transforms like a vector under a proper rotation.
