Q.

In the Column-I below, four different paths of a particle are given as functions of time. In these functions, α and β are positive constants of appropriate dimensions and αβ. In each case, the force acting on the particle is either zero or conservative. In Column-II, five physical quantities of the particle are mentioned p is the linear momentum, L is the angular momentum about the origin, K is the kinetic energy, U is the potential energy and E is the total energy. Match each path in List-I with those quantities in List-II, which are conserved for that path.                               [2018]
