An object moving along the x-axis evaluated relative to three fixed reference points.
An object moving along the x-axis evaluated relative to three fixed reference points.
An object of mass \(m\) moves in the \(xy\)-plane with a constant velocity of magnitude \(v\) in the positive \(x\)-direction along the line \(y = 0\). Three fixed reference points, \(X\), \(Y\), and \(Z\), are located in the same plane with coordinates \((0, d)\), \((0, 2d)\), and \((3d, 2d)\), respectively. At the instant the object passes the origin \((0,0)\), which of the following correctly ranks the magnitudes of the object's angular momentum, \(L_X\), \(L_Y\), and \(L_Z\), with respect to each reference point?
