Homework Equations


Find Angular Momentum.
How to find velocity of a particle.

The Attempt at a Solution


If i differentiate with `dt` both sides, I'm getting velocity y-component=velocity x-component.
Then i feel helpless:cry:

You should try drawing a diagram. Also, what is angular momentum?

what are you differentiating and why? You already know the velocity.
