The dimensional formula of angular momentum is:
A. [ML²T⁻²]
B. [ML²T⁻¹]
C. [M⁰L⁰T⁰]
D. [MLT⁻¹]

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Angular momentum L = r × p. Position r has [L], linear momentum p = mv has [MLT⁻¹], so L has [L][MLT⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. This matches Planck's constant dimensions. Option A is linear momentum; C is energy/torque; D is dimensionless. Memory aid: 'Angular momentum: [ML²T⁻¹]; same as action quantities'. This dimensional analysis question tests ability to derive formulas, crucial for competitive exams. Always break down compound quantities into fundamental dimensions (M, L, T) for verification and problem-solving.

A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth from:
A. East to West
B. West to East
C. North to South
D. South to North

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A geostationary satellite must appear stationary to an observer on the Earth's surface. To achieve this, it must orbit in the exact equatorial plane and strictly follow the Earth's rotation. Since the Earth rotates on its axis from West to East, the geostationary satellite must also orbit from West to East.
